Observations & Results

Signals, spectra, calibration, and Milky Way products

A research-focused view of project observations, published transit-scan context, and future public data products.

Selected Results

What the observations show

Each result is summarized rather than republishing complete paper pages.

Raw spectrum recording workflow slide

Signal Processing Result

What is shown: A raw spectrum stage in the H I observation workflow.

Why it matters: It places SDR acquisition and FFT-based spectral extraction at the center of the platform. The project is presented as a complete measurement chain, not only as a reflector build.

Source: Project lecture material; related signal-processing workflow is described in the 2025 IEEE publication.

Calibration and first survey result slide

PSU Transit Survey and Calibration Context

What is shown: Calibration and first survey products from the project lecture.

Why it matters: Transit observations connect time/frequency measurements to sky structure as Earth rotates through the beam. Published scans should be interpreted as normalized signal strength or relative H I response unless an absolute calibration is explicitly stated.

H I survey and position velocity interpretation concept slide

From Sky Survey to Position-Velocity Interpretation

What is shown: A project concept linking survey observations, calibration context, and sky/velocity interpretation.

Why it matters: The model \(T_B(\alpha,\delta,v_{\mathrm{LSR}})\) is the scientific endpoint used to connect sky position, H I intensity, and radial velocity. This figure should not be read as a complete calibrated 3D brightness-temperature cube by itself.

H I 21 cm line example from KAU slide

H I 21-cm Line Example

What is shown: A real H I line example included in the lecture material.

Why it matters: The line profile is the observational signature that lets students connect antenna temperature, calibration, velocity, and Galactic hydrogen science.
