Experiment COLD . ... JSEC Astronomy . ... The entire project was called "Experiment Cold". ... The best radiometer (in terms of fluctuation sensitivity) known to us, based on a parametric amplifier with a closed-cycle helium cooling system, was used in the experiment; measures were taken to "cool" the radio telescope itself; and a method of controlling the numerous sources of interference was carefully thought out. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
