Astrophysics is the study of the origin and evolution of the universe and all that it contains. Among the topics investigated are cosmology, galaxies, stars, the interstellar medium, solar system planets, exoplanets, and their intersections with geological processes, system designs, and astrobiology. Astrophysics, astronomy and cosmology are a part of the School of Earth and Space Exploration.
Professor Judd Bowman and the Low-frequency Cosmology Group (LoCo Lab) invite you to search and discover Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Radio Astronomy!
Using transistor radios, you will learn about the Electromagnetic Spectrum, RFI and the need for "Radio Quiet" zones to study the Radio Sky in remote areas like Green Bank WV, Western Australia and South Africa.
