4 FAQs about Us radio solar telescope

How do RSTN telescopes work?

The RSTN telescopes gather standardized solar radio data in computer assisted (“automatic”) mode. The RSTN system produces discrete frequency radio observations using Radio Interference Measuring Sets (RIMS), and wideband (spectral) radio observations using the Solar Radio Spectrograph (SRS).

Which observatories operate RSTN telescopes?

There are several observatories that operate RSTN telescopes positioned in the CONUS, Eastern and Western Pacific, and Europe. The RIMS 1 second data shows total power output in SFU (10-22Watts*m-2*Hz-1) at 1 second time intervals for each monitored frequency. This value is the total raw power received by the RIMS.

What are radio telescopes used for?

We aim radio telescopes at the Sun, planets, moons, and planetesimals in our Solar System. Used as telescopes, they tell us about the temperature, composition, and magnetic activities of these bodies. Used as radar devices, they map surfaces, obtain distances, and clock spins and speeds.

What is the NRAO telescope?

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation.
