IBM partners with Astron in radio telescope deal
By Reuters,
Dutch astronomy research group Astron is teaming up with IBM, the world's largest technology services group, to design key computer chips to be used as part of Astron's project to build a radio astronomy telescope to look at evolving galaxies.
The chips will be used in thousands of antennas as part of Astron's project to build a new prototype radio telescope called SKADS/EMBRACE, which will be the precursor for the world's largest radio astronomy telescope, the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) radio telescope, they said.
The goal of the SKA radio telescope is to peer deep into space and look at evolving galaxies and dark matter, Astron said in a statement.
Financial terms are not being disclosed, they said.
