Dopo la sperimentazione con successo dell'antenna corner tridimensionale per l'osservazione dell pulsar B0329+54 (iw5bhy.altervista.org) ho voluto sperimentare la stessa antenna ma funzionante sulla riga dell'idrogeno.
Le dimensioni sono molto contenute, circa 60x60x60cm. L'antenna è di facile costruzione, non critica e piuttosto economica (poche decine di euro di materiale). In altre parole un'antenna per tutti che può stare comodamente in un piccolo giardino o su una terrazza.
Le prime prove sono molto incoraggianti. Pubblicherò i risultati non appena disponibili.
La foto dell'antenna è disponibile nell'allegato.

The purpose of this work is to obtain the curve of rotation of the Milky Way, to map the spiral structure of the Galaxy in the I and II quadrant with a thin division and to determine the integral mass; all this is done through the study of the galactic hydrogen concentration.
The data, obtained by the radio telescope Salsa Onsala in Sweden, refer to several observations done between December 2012 and April 2013. For the elaboration of those data, which were the spectrum of the radiation, the software SalsaJ was used.
The result of this study confirms that the matter velocity, far away from the galactic center, does not decrease, but remains the same. The distribution of the hydrogen is not uniform: it is concentrated in filamentary structures, which are considered an evidence of the presence of a spiral structure. And the mass of the Galaxy is confront with historical data.

We used the radio telescope Salsa Onsala "Vale", a device with the diameter of 2.3 m built by the Onsala Space Observatory at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.
The data which were used refer to several observations done between December 22nd 2011 and January 6th 2012. For the elaboration of those data, which were the spectrum of the radiation, the software SalsaJ was used.
