Korean VLBI Network, Radio interferometer at Seoul National University, South Korea
Description
The Korean VLBI Network is a system of radio telescopes spread across multiple locations in South Korea that detect signals from distant cosmic sources. These facilities operate with advanced receivers to gather astronomical data across different frequency bands.
History
The network developed in the 2000s as part of South Korea's plan to build advanced capabilities in radio astronomy. The stations were strategically positioned to work together and enable precise observations of space.
Culture
The Seoul observatory introduces students and researchers to radio astronomy through specialized educational programs and scientific demonstrations throughout the year.
Practical
The facility operates across multiple geographic locations and requires highly precise time synchronization for its measurements. Visitors should understand the technical demands involved in running such a distributed system.
Did you know?
The Seoul station synchronizes with telescopes in Ulsan and Jeju to create a virtual telescope spanning hundreds of kilometers across South Korea.
