The Network

The telescopes that may be available for VLBI observations and some of their characteristics are shown in Tables 1 & 2. Detailed information about Parkes, Mopra and the Compact Array of the ATNF are included with the separate proposal forms for these instruments.

Note that inclusion in the table does not imply any guarantees of telescope availability.

Proposals are accepted only for the ATNF and U.Tas. operated telescopes, and for time on a Tidbinbilla antenna under NASA-CSIRO arrangements. Only one of 2 available telescopes at Tidbinbilla may be requested and time available on the 70m telescope is limited.

The ATNF cannot allocate time on non-AT telescopes but the VLBI scheduler will facilitate the necessary arrangements.
