European radio interferometers

List of European radio interferometers:

  • NOEMA radio observatory
  • Westerbork radio observatory
  • Northern Cross radio observatory
  • LOFAR radio telescope
  • MERLIN nodes:
    • Cambridge radio observatory
    • Darnhall radio observatory
    • Defford radio observatory
    • Jodrell Bank radio observatory
    • Knockin radio observatory
    • Pickmere radio observatory
Radio observatories participating in VLBI Networks:
  • European VLBI network (EVN) are listed here.
  • Global mm-VLBI Array (GMVA) are listed here.
  • VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) are listed here (to be added).
  • e-Callisto (solar radio monitoring) are listed here.
Notes:
  • The MERLIN and Westerbork interferometers also operate in single-dish mode.
  • None of these observatories is exclusively dedicated to Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), but some participate in VLBI sessions.
  • Participation in VLBI depends on each observatory’s frequency capabilities; they do not take part in VLBI observations simultaneously.
