has gloss | eng: The GEM Radio Telescope measures the radio emission of our galaxy in five frequencies, between 408 MHz and 10 GHz, from different places of the earth. This data will be used to calibrate other telescopes, more specifically the Plank Surveyor, and will give the means to filter the Cyclotron Radiation and the free free radiation from other maps in a way that the only radiation left on the map is the Cosmic Microwave Background. The telescope is in construction in Pampilhosa da Serra, Portugal, but the receptor has already made measurements in Cachoeira Paulista, (Brasil), in Antártica, in Bishop (U.S.A.), Villa de Leyva (Colômbia) and in Tenerife (Canary Islands). The main reflector has a parabolic form of 5,5m of diameter. |
