Resolution

Understanding resolution is a key component in understanding radio astronomy.

A Teachers Guide to Resolution and Doppler Activities has been prepared to help lead you through these activities.

If you need some more background information before embarking on your journey into resolution and radio astronomy, you can the the Primer on Radio Astronomy and Resolution.

To help bring the concepts of resolution to you class, try our Resolution and Interference Patterns Project.

A Resolution Project has been developed for your classroom. In addition, there is also an accompanying Resolution Worksheet

Check out the Spectroscopy and Doppler Shift Page for a discussion about the Doppler shift and an activity.
