An international research team led by Dr. Cui Lang from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has imaged the compact weak radio emission region and measured the ...

Stellar intensity interferometry is a powerful observational technique that exploits second-order coherence properties of starlight to achieve extremely high angular resolution. Building on the ...

Researchers in the US have demonstrated how quantum entanglement could be used to detect optical signals from astronomical ...

Earth's atmosphere is an impediment to astronomical observations. Not only is cloudy weather a problem, but temperature fluctuations in the atmosphere mean that ground-based telescopes require ...

The ESO (European Southern Observatory) has announced the successful observation of an exoplanet using optical interferometry. It's the first time an exoplanet has been "seen" in this manner and the ...
