Extract

The Parkes interferometer consists of the 210-ft para-boloidal reflector of the ANRAO, and a 60-ft paraboloidal reflector mounted on rail tracks. These extend from 400 ft to 1400 ft from the 210-ft paraboloid and run both north-south and east-west. The baseline may be continuously varied during observation; receivers operating simultaneously at 468 and 1402 MHz enable the determination of complete visibility functions over the range 200λ to 2000λ.
