Abstract

A project is underway to develop a two-element interferometer for dedicated monitoring of compact radio sources. The primary goal will involve long-term, fully-sampled monitoring of a large population of extragalactic sources to study interstellar scintillation and search for extreme scattering events. The interferometer will make use of two existing 26-metre antennas with an east-west separation of about 400 metres at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute, in partnership with the Pisgah Astronomical Research and Science Education Centre, an interinstitutional centre of the University of North Carolina system.
