India-based telescope detects faint radio signal from an extremely distant galaxy

Uncovering Secrets of the Early Universe: Astronomers Capture Radio Signal From Distant Galaxy

Probing galaxies at much greater distances from Earth may now be within reach. How do stars form in distant galaxies? Astronomers have long been trying to answer this question by detecting radio signals emitted by nearby galaxies. However, these signals become weaker the further away a galaxy is fr

Signal from space! Mysterious radio signal detected by astronomers

Wondering if there is life outside planet Earth? A recent signal received from a distant galaxy could help answer the question.

Record-breaking detection of radio signal from atomic hydrogen in extremely distant galaxy using GMRT

Astronomers from McGill University and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have used data from the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope to detect a radio signal originating from atomic hydrogen in an extremely distant galaxy.

India-based telescope detects faint radio signal from an extremely distant galaxy

The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) which is located in India’s Pune, has detected a radio signal originating from an extremely distant galaxy. Astronomers from McGill University in Canada and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) are behind the detection of these signals. The findings have been published in the scientific journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.  With the signal travelling across the largest astronomi

Record-Breaking Signal From Distant Galaxy Is Furthest of Its Kind Ever Detected

Hydrogen is a key building block of the cosmos.

IISc-Bengaluru, Canadians detect radio signal from distant galaxy

Atomic hydrogen emits radio waves of 21cm wavelength, which can be detected using low frequency radio telescopes like the GMRT.
