Mallory Roberts

CNS 204
Astronomy is more an observational science than an experimental one, meaning we generally
have to content ourselves with using whatever information the Universe sends us. The prime
source of our information is light, and until the 20th century, that meant only optical light i.e.
the wavelengths our eyes are sensitive to and the near infrared and near ultraviolet. Starting
with the discovery of cosmic radio waves by Karl Jansky in 1931, the rest of the electromagnetic
spectrum has been opened up to astronomers. Each region of the spectrum (radio, microwave,
infrared, optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray) requires different technologies to detect and different
analysis techniques. Each waveband also tells us about different aspects of individual astronomical
sources and the Universe as a whole. This course will provide an overview of multiwavelength astronomy:
the telescopes, techniques, emission mechanisms, sources, and primary science questions relevant to
each observing band. A good understanding of basic physics will be assumed (i.e. what is taught in the
introductory series 117,118,217,218), but no specialized knowledge in astronomy or advanced physics
topics will be required beforehand and so any physics juniors and seniors (as well as highly motivated
sophomores) should have the background for this class.
