High-redshift galaxy candidates in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, 2012 [19] The spectrum of light that comes from a source (see idealized spectrum illustration top-right) can be measured. To determine the redshift, one searches for features in the spectrum such as absorption lines, emission lines, or other variations in light intensity. If found ...
This is a low polarized quasar [5] containing a classic homogeneous synchrotron self-absorption spectrum. [6] The radio spectrum of this source shows a turnover frequency at 5 GHz [5] and this object has also been referred to as a gigahertz-peak spectrum source. [7] [8] DA 193 is found variable on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Armed with the AO system, it is expected that MUSE will achieve a median spatial resolution of 0.46 arcseconds, or ~3 kpc at a redshift >3, across the 1'x1' field-of-view of the wide-field mode. In the narrow-field mode, the spatial resolution should reach 0.042 arcseconds at 750 nm, corresponding to ~3 pc resolution at the distance of Virgo ...
As with galaxy redshift surveys, intensity mapping observations can be used to measure the geometry and expansion rate of the Universe (and therefore the properties of dark energy [1]) by using the baryon acoustic oscillation feature in the matter power spectrum as a standard ruler.
A photometric redshift is an estimate for the recession velocity of an astronomical object such as a galaxy or quasar, made without measuring its spectrum.The technique uses photometry (that is, the brightness of the object viewed through various standard filters, each of which lets through a relatively broad passband of colours, such as red light, green light, or blue light) to determine the ...
Amazon Redshift is a data warehouse product which forms part of the larger cloud-computing platform Amazon Web Services. [1] It is built on top of technology from the massive parallel processing (MPP) data warehouse company ParAccel (later acquired by Actian ), [ 2 ] to handle large scale data sets and database migrations .

PKS 0458-020 is found variable across the electromagnetic spectrum and a source of gamma ray activity. [7] [8] [9] It is known to show optical flares which was detected by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi LAT) [10] and by the Nordic Optical Telescope in September 2012, where it was reported to be 30 times brighter than its daily flux of (E > 100 MeV) when recorded by Fermi LAT.

In order to confirm the redshift estimated by the color selection, follow-up spectroscopy is performed. Although spectroscopic measurements are necessary to obtain a high-precision redshift, spectroscopy is typically much more time-consuming than imaging, so the selection of candidate galaxies via the Lyman-break technique greatly improves the ...
