Some Highlights of Interferometry in early Radio Astronomy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Two important episodes in the early development of interferometry in radio astronomy are traced in detail. The first is the use of the sea-cliff interferometer at the Radiophysics Laboratory in Sydney, first by Pawsey for solar observations and later by Bolton for radio star surveys. The second is the development of the Michelson interferometer and the phase switch by Ryle in Cambridge. This also was employed for important observations of the sun and radio stars.
