Extract

The proposal made to ASTEC for an Australian systhesis telescope (AST) is for a high-sensitivity, high-resolution synthesis array to be located at the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Parkes, and used in conjunction with the existing 64-m antenna at that site as a national facility (Wellington 1976). During the past 18 months a design study group consisting of representatives from the Australian National University, University of Sydney, University of Tasmania and CSIRO has been investigating the design of such an array. This paper reports on one aspect of this design, the array configuration.
