Sardinia Radio Telescope
The Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT, www.srt.inaf.it), a challenging scientific
project of the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), is a
new general purpose fully steerable 64 m diameter radio telescope designed
to operate with high efficiency across the 0.3-116 GHz frequency range.
The telescope is located 35 km North of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, at
about 700 m above the sea level. The technical and scientific commissioning
of the telescope has recently been completed and an early science program
has started in 2016. Read more
Visit to the Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT)
A visit to the Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT, http://www.srt.inaf.it/)
is scheduled on the second day of the workshop,
August 25th, 2016. The SRT site, approximately 35 km North of Cagliari,
will be reached by bus (travel time will be approximately one hour).
Important: For safety reasons, participants wishing to tour the telescope are required to wear
suitable shoes with anti-sleep outsole, possibly with safety grooves to improve grip (do not wear open-
toed shoes, sandals, or leather-soled shoes). Please, be aware that a vertical ladder will have to be
climbed to access the upper parts of the telescope.
Because of exposure to the Sun and the Summer season we recommend the use of sunscreen.
The bus leaves from the SRT site at 12h00. A lunch will be served in a countryside restaurant on
the way back to the conference venue in Cagliari.
