A radio telescope has an antenna and a receiver to study the stars. Radio waves are part of the same radiation spectrum as light, and they are emitted by many celestial bodies. Analysis of radio emissions can give us information over and above what can be obtained from light.

What are the instruments that use in studying stars?

Some instruments used in studying stars include telescopes, spectrographs to analyze the light from stars, photometers to measure the brightness of stars, and interferometers to combine light from multiple telescopes for higher resolution imaging. Telescopes can be ground-based or space-based, like the Hubble Space Telescope.


What instrument is used for observing stars?

A telescope is commonly used for observing stars. Telescopes collect and magnify light from celestial bodies, allowing astronomers to study stars in more detail. They come in various sizes and configurations, including optical and radio telescopes.


In a radio telescope radio waves strike a large curved?

In a radio telescope, radio waves strike a large curved dish, which reflects and focuses the waves onto a receiver at the focal point. The receiver then converts the radio waves into electrical signals that can be processed and analyzed by astronomers. This allows scientists to study celestial objects and phenomena in the radio frequency range.


What tools are used to study the stars?

Some common tools used to study stars include telescopes, both ground-based and space-based, spectrographs to analyze starlight and determine composition, photometers to measure a star's brightness, and interferometers to combine light from multiple telescopes to enhance resolution. Astronomers also use computer simulations and data analysis techniques to study stars.
