The Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT) is among the largest astronomical instruments. It is located in a wooded picturesque valley separating two mountain ridges of the Eastern Sayan Mountains, 220 km from Irkutsk. It is a crossed interferometer, consisting of two arrays of 128 x 128 parabolic antennas 2.5 meters in diameter each, spaced equidistantly at 4.9 meters and oriented in the E-W and N-S directions. The main maxima of the radio telescope's multidirectional beam are arranged at intervals in some excess of the Sun's apparent size at the instrument's working wavelengths l = 5,2 sm. The length of each linear baselines of the interferometer is 622.3 meters.    more  • >>
