Cosmic Rays from the Telescope Array
An array of cosmic ray telescopes in western Utah is determining the origin of the most energetic particles in the Universe.
Designing a Self-Steering Spacecraft
As we push spacecraft to the edges of our solar system and beyond, it gets harder and harder to navigate them from Earth. But what if spacecraft could steer themselves, using observations of pulsars? Read on to find out how!
Closing In on the Epoch of Reionization
An array of dipole antennas in South Africa’s Karoo desert offers the best limit on the power spectrum of the Epoch of Reionization.
Astrobites on the Ice, Part 5: South Pole Station
I’m spending a month at the South Pole working on a CMB telescope. In this last post, we tour South Pole Station and run a race around the world!
Astrobites on the Ice, Part 4: A Day in the Life
I’m spending a month at the South Pole working on a CMB telescope. In this installment, I measure the telescope’s sidelobes and close up a receiver.
