Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is a Chinese mega-science project to build the largest single dish radio telescope in the world. The first light of FAST is expected in September 2016. Due to the high sensitivity of FAST, it is very sensitive to the radio frequency interference coming from the electrical and electronic equipments of telescope itself. In order to assure...
Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is a Chinese mega-science project to build the largest single dish radio telescope in the world. The first light of FAST is expected in 2016. In order to protect the radio environment for FAST site, the local government has promised to establish a radio quiet zone of 30 km diameter, with the Dawodang depression in Guizhou province as the...
The sun especially the solar wind have influenced our Earth in many ways, and observing the solar wind is an important method to study the solar-earth environment. Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) observations are an effective method of monitoring solar wind, forecasting the solar-terrestrial space weather and studying the structures of the long distance compact radio sources. Since the discovery...
A 500-m aperture spherical telescope (FAST) was funded by the National Development and Reform Commission of China (NDRC) in July 2007 and will be located in the unique Karst region, a sinkhole-like landform, in Guizhou province. FAST can be seen as a modified ldquoArecibordquo type radio telescope using many innovative techniques, with as much as twice the collecting area and a wider sky coverage...
