An extension of the European Millimetre VLBI Network: Plans for a mm radiotelescope in Greece

Abstract

We present preliminary plans for establishing a Radio Astronomy Institute in Greece which will support and maintain a 15-m radio telescope capable of operating at up to 300 GHz. The Institute will cover most branches of research in Radio Astronomy and will serve at the forefront of technological developments in Greece and abroad. Finally, it will transform the one dimensional structure of the mm European VLBI Network into a useful two dimensional network. Some tentative suggestions for the location of the telescope are presented.KeywordsVery Long Baseline InterferometryRadio TelescopeTentative SuggestionPreliminary PlanGeodetic Very Long Baseline InterferometryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
