New book in the JPO library and Jupiter Io radio wave interactions.

 

Our imaging and post processing JPO team have been using GraXpert and Siril software for sometime but Joel thought this little booklet was worth an investment of £12 as a reference. On cursory inspection, this appears to be a 'solid' purchase.

Tonight, I reprogrammed the usb dongle feeding the signal from the LVST yagi aerial into the soundcard of the laptop running Spectrum Lab. 

For the next 24 hours, Spectrum Lab will be analysing radio signals centred on 20,100 khz. This will hopefully enable us to capture radio waves generated by interactions between the planet Jupiter and its innermost Galilean Moon Io.

Jupiter is currently riding high in the Northern Hemisphere and in the constellation Gemini." - Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
