The solar radio imaging telescope has completed the hardware integration after four years of construction, and officially entered the phase of concept verification. It is expected to be put into trial operation in June 2023.
The telescope is composed of 313 antennas of 6 m diameter. All antennas are uniformly distributed along a circle of 1000 m diameter. A calibration antenna is place on top of a tower at the center of the circle, from where an arbitrary calibration signal is transmitted to all antennas. (ECNS)

Prof. YAN Yihua and his research team from the National Astronomical Observatories recently released detailed results of observations by the new generation solar radio telescope—Mingantu Spectral Radio Heliograph (MUSER)—from 2014 to 2019.
The Daocheng Solar Radio Telescope, a solar telescope array in southwest China, passed key testing on Wednesday, marking the official completion of the world's largest synthesis aperture radio telescope, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
