radio astronomy

 
   
The study of radio-frequency emissions from astronomical objects, such as stars or radio galaxies. Radio telescopes are used for the observations, which extend to the sub-millimetre range (See microwaves) as well as radio frequencies as normally defined. A low signal-to-noise ratio is inevitable in such observations, and substantial effort goes into the processing of experimental results.
