The Argentine Institute of Radio Astronomy features two 30-meter radio telescopes that operate at 1420 MHz frequency to study celestial phenomena.
The institute opened in 1962 through collaboration between CONICET, CIC, and universities of La Plata and Buenos Aires to advance radio astronomy research.
Research groups at IAR conduct studies on interferometry, relativistic astrophysics, star formation, and pulsar monitoring through specialized scientific programs.
