Aproximación al estado del arte de las ondas de radio de Júpiter

Abstract

The main objective of this degree work is to formulate a methodological proposal in the field of radio astronomy teaching, focusing on the analysis of concepts related to electromagnetic wave phenomenology applied to the planet Jupiter. For this purpose, an extensive review of bibliographic sources available in the resource systems and bibliographic managers of various universities (national and international) and indexed scientific journals was carried out. In this process, the most relevant elements and concepts related to the detection of radio waves emitted by Jupiter were purified and extracted. These findings were incorporated into the document as part of the process of approaching the state of the art in order to provide the reader with a solid basis for the analysis of the proposed case. Next, Maxwell's equations, essential for the derivation of the electromagnetic wave equation and its spectrum from gamma rays, through the visible, to radio waves, are shown. In 1958 the emission of radio waves emitted by the planet Jupiter was detected, the object of analysis of the present work, both in its causes and in its detection methods. Finally, a methodology for the teaching and dissemination of knowledge in radio astronomy is presented, aimed at a general public that includes high school students and first university semesters of physics and related careers. The focus of this methodology is oriented towards accessible understanding and stimulating interest in scientific research. In the end, it seeks to contribute to the field of radio astronomy education and scientific dissemination, providing a tool for the promotion of knowledge in this field.
