Radio Astronomy

The prime instrument use by the reasearch group is the 26m radio telescope at the Hartbeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO). (Shown below).

This telescope has been used to create the only detailed microwave map of the southern skies. (A low detail version is shown below)

The group actively collaborates with radio astronomy institutes around the world.

The group is headed by Prof J.L. Jonas.

The following students are currently conducting research as part of their post-graduate studies:

• Laura Richter
• Kim McAlpine
• Steven Liddell
