The '''Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope''' (CLFST) is an east-west [[aperture synthesis]] [[radio telescope]] currently operating at 151 MHz. It consists of 60 tracking yagis on a 4.6 km baseline, giving 776 simultaneous baselines. These provide a resolution of 70×70 cosec(declination) arcsec2, with a sensitivity of about 30 to 50 mJy/beam, and a field of view of about 9°×9°. The telescope is situated at the [[Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory]]. |
