Nigeria is set to partner with the People’s Republic of China in an effort to build the first baseline interferometry of its kind.
The intended primary interferometer will be used to monitor earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa.
A breaking news report from the Nigerian Television Authority on Friday revealed this, though the details remain fuzzy.
Meanwhile, representatives from the People’s Republic of China and Nigeria are presently participating in a meeting in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The term fundamental interferometry is a type of astronomical interferometry used in radio astronomy.
A signal from an astronomical radio source, such as a quasar, is collected at multiple radio telescopes on Earth or in space.
The distance between the radio telescopes is then calculated using the time difference between the arrival of the radio signal at different telescopes.
They are used to measure everything from the smallest differences to a microscopic object’s surface.
It also extends to the structure of vast swaths of gas and dust in the distant universe (using radio interferometry), and now to the detection of gravitational waves.
