The Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT) is a radio telescope located in the Russian republic of Buryatia designed for solar observation. It has been in operation since 1983.[1] In 2017 it has been upgraded with the Siberian Radioheliograph.[2]
It operates in the microwave range (5.7 GHz) where the processes occurring in the solar corona are accessible to observation over the entire solar disk. It is a crossed interferometer, consisting of two arrays of 128x128 parabolic antennas 2.5 meters in diameter each, spaced equidistantly at 4.9 meters and oriented in the E-W and N-S directions. It is located in a wooded valley separating two mountain ridges of the Eastern Sayan Mountains and Khamar-Daban, 220 km from Irkutsk, Russia.[3]
