Everything about The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope totally explained
The
Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) (near
Westerbork (camp), north of
Westerbork (village),
Midden-Drenthe, in the northeastern
Netherlands) is an
aperture synthesis interferometer that consists of a linear array of 14
antennas arranged on a 2.7
km East-West line. It has a similar arrangement to other
radio telescopes such as the
One-Mile Telescope and the
Ryle Telescope. Ten of the telescopes are on fixed mountings while the remaining four dishes are movable along two
rail tracks. The telescope was completed in
1970 and underwent a major upgrade around
2000.
The telescopes in the array can operate at several frequencies between 120
MHz and 8.3
GHz. The WSRT is often combined with other telescopes around the world to perform
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations, being part of the
European VLBI Network. The telescope is operated by
ASTRON, the Dutch foundation for astronomy research.
