How the 21 cm hydrogen line reveals the Milky Way's structure
In short: This student presentation explores how measuring the 21 cm hydrogen line allows us to observe the galactic rotation curve and understand the complex structure of our own Milky Way galaxy.
Presented by Saarik Kalia for MIT's Experimental Physics I 'Junior Lab' in Spring 2017, this talk details the observation of the galactic rotation curve. By utilizing the 21 cm hydrogen line, researchers can map the movement and structural composition of the Milky Way.
