Consider two astrophysical sources with blackbody radiation. The first radiation peaks at an average, classical, X-ray wavelength and another at γ-ray frequency (ν=10^22 Hz). What is their temperature?
Assuming that the first is emitted from a source at redshift (z) = 2.8, what should be the frequency observed from a satellite orbiting our planet? What kind of radiation would be observed from Earth?

calculations involving wavelength, frequency, and energy.
Several properties are used to define waves. Every wave has a
wavelength, which is the distance from peak to peak or
trough to trough. Wavelength, typically given the symbol λ
(lowercase Greek "lambda"), is usually measured in meters. Every
wave also has a frequency, which is the number of
wavelengths that pass a certain point during a given period of
time. Frequency, given the symbol...

The discovery of pulsars –rotating neutron stars that generate regular pulses of radiation at their spin rate- was fortuitous. A group of astrophysicists from Cambridge University lead by Anthony Hewish was looking for quasars (these are extremely bright, compact and remote objects that emit up to a thousand times as much light as our entire galaxy). For that purpose the research group designed a radio-telescope that was built on the flat fields surrounding Cambridge in central England. This telescope did...
