The Transient Array Radio Telescope (TART) is a low-cost open-source array radio telescope consisting of 24 all-sky GNSS receivers operating at the L1-band (1.575 GHz). TART was designed as an all-sky survey instrument for detecting radio bursts, as well as providing a test-bed for the development of new synthesis imaging and calibration ...
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is an array of robotic optical telescopes optimized for the discovery of optical counterparts to gravitational wave events [1] and other multi-messenger signals. The array consists of a network of telescope systems, with each system consisting of eight 0.4m telescopes on a single mounting ...
The 1970s-era electronics were replaced with state-of-the-art equipment. To reflect this increased capacity, VLA officials asked for input from both the scientific community and the public in coming up with a new name for the array, and in January 2012 it was announced that the array would be renamed the "Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array".
A 4.5-meter single dish, prototype dish for the Allen Telescope Array: Long Wavelength Array (LWA) Socorro, New Mexico, US 10–88 MHz A telescope composed of stations each with 256 crossed-dipole antennas operated by the University of New Mexico and the Naval Research Laboratory. The first station (LWA1) is 50 miles west of Socorro, colocated ...
LOFAR – (telescope) LOw Frequency ARray, for radio astronomy; LONEOS – (observing program) Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search; LOSS – (observing program) Lick Observatory Supernova Search; LOTIS – (telescope) Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System, a telescope designed to find the optical counterparts of gamma ray bursts
Prototype BlackGEM telescope in the dome in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. [3]The BlackGEM array will consist of 10-15 telescopes each 65 cm in diameter when completed. This configuration uniquely allows the pointing of the combined telescope to be matched to the often elongated ellipse-shaped source-location estimates provided by gravitational wave detectors.
The Ultraviolet Transient Camera Array was designed to provide accurate directional information on transient events, and to assist with spacecraft attitude determination. The instrument consisted of four ultraviolet Charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras operating in the 5 to 7 eV range. [5]
This creates a combined telescope that is the size of the antennas furthest apart in the array. In order to produce a high quality image, a large number of different separations between different telescopes are required (the projected separation between any two telescopes as seen from the radio source is called a "baseline") – as many ...
