Yebes Observatory RT40m, Radio telescope in Yebes, Spain
The 40-meter radio telescope incorporates dual mirror configuration with primary and secondary reflectors for directing radio signals toward specialized receivers at 931 meters elevation.
The construction of this scientific facility occurred between 1999 and 2007 as part of Spain's National Development Plans for advancing radio astronomy research capabilities.
The National Geographic Institute of Spain operates this facility, contributing to international research networks and fostering collaboration among astronomers from different countries.
Researchers can submit proposals for observation time between May 13 and June 14, 2024, focusing on single-dish observations and very long baseline interferometry projects.
The telescope's receivers operate across frequency bands from 2 GHz to 90 GHz, enabling detection of various molecular transitions in space through single-tuning mode observations.
