The Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory
http://donald.phast.umass.edu/~fcrao/
FCRAO focuses on the study of objects which are now familiar and attempt to learn their secrets. The future platform is the Large Millimeter Telescope/Gran Telescopio Milimetrico (LMT/GTM), a project to construct and operate a 50 meter telescope between 1 and 3mm. Offers research and contact information.
The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope
http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/astrop/most/
MOST is operated by the School of Physics, University of Sydney, and consists of two cylindrical paraboloids, 778m x 12m, separated by 15m and aligned East-West. A line feed system of 7744 circular dipoles collects the signal and feeds 176 preamplifiers and 88 IF amplifiers. Includes student and research information, documents and contact details.
The Onsala Space Observatory
The core of the Centre for Astrophysics and Space Science, includes research interests in basic astrophysics through observational astronomy, and especially technical research is in sensitive low-noise millimetre/radio wave receiver techniques for applications in ground- or space-based sensors. Offers information on publications, activities, research, education and contact details.
The University of Calgary Radio Astronomy Laboratory
Research involving the study of stellar, interstellar, and extragalactic radio emission. Major projects include the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, the VLA Galactic Plane Survey, Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry, the Square Kilometer Array, the Canadian Large Adaptive Reflector, and Karma Astronomical Visualization Software. Information on staff research, related facilites, education and contact details.
The Very Small Array (VSA)
http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/telescopes/vsa/
in Tenerife (Canary Islands). Designed to study fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) thought to originate from the period immediately following the big bang. Operated by Cambridge and Manchester Universities (UK).
Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Center (VIRAC)
The main purpose is to take part in observations at high angular resolution of faint sources of cosmic natural and artificial radiation. Overview, photographs, staff, papers, news, and related links. In Latvia.
Very Large Array (VLA)
A 36-km diameter radio telescope consisting of 27 individual dishes arranged in a Y shape. Featured in the films 2001 and Contact (the latter half).
