About this episode
Are "leaky" satellites drowning out the early universe? 🛰️
Dr. Dylan Grigg (Curtin University/ICRAR) joins Astrophiz to reveal groundbreaking research into Unintended Electromagnetic Radiation (UEMR). As satellite constellations like Starlink proliferate, their electronic "noise" is leaking into protected radio astronomy bands.
In this episode, we explore:
76 Million Images: How Dr. Grigg isolated satellite signals from the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory.
The SKA-Low Connection: Why the Square Kilometre Array is at risk from these "noisy" neighbours.
The Epoch of Reionization: What happens when satellite interference masks the faint signals from the first stars.
The Regulatory Frontier: The urgent need for new international spectrum management.
Guest Bio: Dr. Dylan Grigg is a researcher at Curtin University and ICRAR, specializing in radio frequency interference and its impact on deep-space observation.
