| Abstract | Measurements of neutral hydrogen in the Universe with radio telescopes can inform our understanding of dark energy, a mysterious component in our Universe causing its expansion to accelerate today. To make these measurements, astronomers must understand the radio telescopes very precisely. In a previous grant, researchers from Yale University and West Virginia University, in collaboration with Canadian astronomers, developed a radio calibrator source using a new, fast chip that can be flown on a |
