SKA Radio Array To Spot Habitable Exoearths Via Their Magnetic Auroras

SKA Radio Array To Spot Habitable Exoearths Via Their Magnetic Auroras


We really need all the sensitivity SKA-Low can get us as this will be a very faint signal of around a 100 MHz, Joe Callingham, Head of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Science Group at ASTRON, The Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, tells me in his office at the University of Amsterdam. Without the algorithms we've developed here and the engineering skills we've built over time in The Netherlands, the SKA wouldn't be possible, he says. The SKA is going to revolutionize our understanding of the universe, largely because it’s going to have a sensitivity and the resolution that's unparalleled by any other radio telescope that has ever been built, says Callingham.
