Neutral hydrogen (HI) can be traced by observing this radio emission
- naturally narrow width of this line makes it an ideal diagnostic of interstellar hydrogen because the strength of the line depends on the density and temperature of the hydrogen gas.
The observation of the 21cm line of hydrogen marked the birth of spectral-line radio astronomy.

The Most Easily Observed Molecules in Space
The Most Common Molecule in Space:
Use CO as a tracer for H2 in the ISM.
H2 = Molecular Hydrogen can be detected by far ultraviolet absorption and emission:
- very difficult to observe.
But: Where there’s H2, there’s also CO - cloud may contain only 1 CO per 10,000 H2, - enough to see
• CO = Carbon Monoxide Radio emission• OH = Hydroxyl Radio emission.

• CO emission lines show molecular cloud complexes.
• Stars apparently form in these dense regions.

Electromagnetic Radiation
Wavelength
Radio Detection techniques developed from meter-wave to submillimeter-wave: = 1 meter = 300 MHz
= 1 mm = 300 GHz

What do Radio Astronomers measure?
Luminosity of a source: L = dE/dt erg/s Flux of a source at distance R:
S = L/4R2 erg/s/cm2
• Flux measures how bright a star is. In optical astronomy, this is measured in magnitudes, a logarithmic measure of flux.
• Intensity: If a source is extended, its surface brightness varies across its extent. The surface brightness is the intensity, the amount of flux that originates from unit solid angle of the source:
I = dS/d erg/s/cm2/steradian

Radiometer Equation For an unresolved source, the detection sensitivity of a radio
telescope is determined by the effective area of the telescope and the “noisiness” of the receiver
For an unresolved source of a given flux, S, the expected antenna temperature is given by
kTA = ½ Ae,maxS The minimum detectable TA is given by
TA = Ts/(B)
where Ts is the system temperature of the receiver, B is the bandwidth and is the integration time, and is of order unity depending on the details of the system. The system temperature measures the noise power of the receiver (Ps = BkTs). In Radio Astronomy, detection is typically receiver noise dominated.

How do radio telescopes work?
![Page 23: Interaction of the SNR with The Surrounding Medium](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062800/5681406d550346895dabeba1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sources of Radio Emission
1. Blackbody (thermal)2. Continuum sources 3. Spectral line sources
![Page 24: Interaction of the SNR with The Surrounding Medium](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062800/5681406d550346895dabeba1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Blackbody Sources
Peak in cm-wave radio requires very low temperature: mT = 0.2898 cm K
Cosmic Microwave Background is about the only relevant blackbody source
Ignored in most work – essentially constant source of static (same in all directions) and much weaker than static produced by instrumentation itself

Continuum Sources
Due to relativistic electrons:
Synchrotron radiation
Bremsstrahlung Quasars, Active Galactic Nuclei, Pulsar
s, Supernova Remnants, etc. Used by ALFALFA for calibration
