Frequency-Agile Solar Radiotelescope (FASR) is a next-generation radio telescope for solar observation in radio and microwave frequency range.
On contrary to other general-purpose radio telescopes such as VLA, FASR is specifically designed for solar observation. Compared with other astronomical sources, the emission from the sun is highly time variable and the range of emission is very high.
The construction site of FASR is not yet determined but it will be somewhere in the southwest United States.
Famous quotes containing the word solar:
“Lincoln becomes the American solar myth, the chief butt of American credulity and sentimentality.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
