The main reflector for the antenna system of the 40-meter-aperture radio telescope was hoisted and installed on 7 October 2024 in Shigatse, Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region. The construction of the telescope is expected to be completed by the end of 2024, with very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observation capabilities in early 2025. Read more. Image: © [...]

First fringes refers to the successful correlation of data from separate antennas stations – in this case two stations – signifying that SKA-Low has begun to work as an interferometer. Both of the SKA Observatory’s telescopes – SKA-Low in Western Australia and its counterpart SKA-Mid in South Africa’s Northern Cape – are radio interferometers. They [...]
The call for proposal for observing with the INAF telescopes is open. See here. INAF participates with the Sardinia Telescope (SRT) in the Transnational Access program of the Opticon Radionet Pilot program (ORP), which is funded by the EC Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No. 101004719. For observations with the STR [...]
AtLAST is a concept for a next generation 50-meter class single-dish astronomical observatory operating at sub-millimeter and millimeter wavelengths, run as a facility telescope by an international partnership and powered by renewable energy. AtLAST has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 951815 Furthermore, AtLAST announced that the [...]
Using data from the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers from the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS) collaboration have compiled the largest catalog of radio sources from any MeerKAT survey to date. With this catalog, they were able to make a measurement of the cosmic radio dipole, a cosmological effect that arises from [...]
