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 ...
64 m Sardinia Radio Telescope: San Basilio, Sardinia, Italy Sardinia Radio Telescope. 64 m dish. ROT-54/2.6: Mount Aragats, Armenia, near Yerevan: 1.5–300 GHz Radio optical Telescope with 54 m Spherical Reflector Antenna and 2.6 m optical telescope on the same axis. One of the most sensitive and low noise antennas in the world.
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 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]
Traditional radio-telescopes have only one receiver at the focus of the telescope, but radio-telescopes are now starting to be equipped with focal plane arrays, which are of three different types: multi-beam feed arrays, bolometer arrays, and the experimental phased-array feeds.
The Very Small Array (VSA) was a 14-element interferometric radio telescope operating between 26 and 36 GHz that is used to study the cosmic microwave background radiation. It was a collaboration between the University of Cambridge , University of Manchester and the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias ( Tenerife ), and was located at the ...
In 2006, Stellarium 0.7.1 won a gold award in the Education category of the Les Trophées du Libre free software competition. [4]A modified version of Stellarium has been used by the MeerKAT project as a virtual sky display showing where the antennae of the radio telescope are pointed.
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF, obs. code: I41) is a wide-field sky astronomical survey using a new camera attached to the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, United States. Commissioned in 2018, it supersedes the (Intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory (2009–2017) that used the same ...
