First Colombian Solar Radio Interferometer: current stage

Solar radio astronomy is a fast developing research field in Colombia. Here, we present the scientific goals, specifications and current state of the First Colombian Solar Radio Interferometer consisting of two log-periodic antennas covering a frequency bandwidth op to 800 MHz. We describe the importance and benefits of its development to the radioastronomy in Latin America and its impact on the scientific community and general public.

A brief historical review of the development of solar physics and solar radio astronomy in Latvia and its current status is presented.

Some Recollections of the Radio and Electrical Engineering Division of the National Research Council of Canada, 1946-1977

Studies of extraterrestrial radio noise became world wide after WWII, and were rapidly separated into a number of disciplines. Solar radio astronomy, at a wavelength of 10.7 cm, was initiated in 1946 at the Radio Field Station of the National Research Council. Its development at the Goth Hill Radio Observatory outside Ottawa is outlined until 1962, when the work was transferred to the Algonquin Radio Observatory.
