Terahertz Gap
- Gabrielfair 6y agoI'm curious if this means our sky survey of EMF radiation in space is also missing this band? I don't know our space telescope history and capabilities, but can anyone who knows more comment on whether or not we are missing this?
- djaque 6y agoNot an astronomer, but it looks like the Herschel Space Observatory was in the THz gap [1]. Interestingly, the limit to its lifetime was how much liquid Helium they could keep onboard to cool their detector.
