The 33 pages that link to Radio telescope, each with the reason it gives.

• Radio astronomyBroader topic: Its antennas and receivers turn incoming radio waves into measurable signals.

• TelescopeBroader topic: It applies the same collecting principle at radio wavelengths, with different hardware.

• Very Long Baseline InterferometryRelated: Each VLBI station records radio waves with its own telescope.

• Diffraction limitRelated: Long wavelengths make diffraction severe, so arrays synthesize much larger effective apertures.

• Reflecting telescopeRelated: The reflector principle extends to wavelengths far longer than visible light.

• 21-centimeter lineRelated: Sensitive radio receivers made the faint hydrogen signal detectable.

• Aperture synthesisNarrower topic: Aperture synthesis turns multiple radio telescopes into a coordinated imaging instrument.

• Arecibo ObservatoryNarrower topic: Arecibo’s loss highlighted the scientific role of large single-dish radio telescopes.

• Jocelyn Bell BurnellNarrower topic: A radio telescope and its chart recorder captured the signal that Bell Burnell examined.

• Very Large ArrayNarrower topic: Each movable antenna is a radio telescope whose signal contributes to the array.

• Astronomical instrumentBroader topic: Radio telescopes observe wavelengths inaccessible to ordinary optical instruments.

• Optical telescopeCompared with: It observes wavelengths far longer than visible light and uses different collecting structures.

• Parabolic reflectorBroader topic: Its dish often uses a parabolic surface to concentrate incoming radio waves at a receiver.

• Circular polarizationRelated: Polarization-sensitive receivers can measure circular components from celestial radio sources.

• Deep-space communicationNarrower topic: Deep-space ground antennas combine sensitive receiving systems with large collecting areas.

• Very Long Baseline ArrayNarrower topic: Each VLBA station is a steerable radio telescope with a shared observing role.

• National Radio Astronomy ObservatoryNarrower topic: NRAO designs, operates, or supports several major forms of radio telescope.

• Square Kilometre ArrayNarrower topic: The SKA is a large, distributed radio telescope rather than one conventional dish.

• X-ray telescopeCompared with: Radio telescopes use antennas and often large parabolic dishes rather than grazing-incidence mirror shells.

• Green Bank TelescopeNarrower topic: The Green Bank instrument is a particularly large, steerable example.

• Grote ReberNarrower topic: Reber’s instrument was an early purpose-built example of this observing technology.

• Primary mirrorCompared with: A radio dish is a reflecting collector, but it focuses radio waves rather than visible light.

• Antony HewishRelated: The array transformed radio signals into the chart records Hewish’s team searched for compact sources.

• Astronomical instrumentationBroader topic: Radio telescopes expose sources invisible to optical instruments, including cold gas and pulsars.

• Electromagnetic astronomyBroader topic: Radio instruments reveal emission unavailable to visible-light telescopes.

• Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical TelescopeNarrower topic: FAST is a giant example of this broader class of astronomical instrument.

• Karl Guthe JanskyNarrower topic: Jansky’s work demonstrated the scientific value of purpose-built radio telescopes.

• Solar telescopeCompared with: It studies solar radio bursts and emission beyond the optical wavelengths used by many solar telescopes.

• Astronomical interferometerRelated: Many astronomical interferometers use radio telescopes whose signals can be transported and correlated.

• Arno Allan PenziasNarrower topic: The horn antenna functioned as a sensitive radio telescope.

• Effelsberg 100-metre Radio TelescopeNarrower topic: Effelsberg is a large, steerable example of this instrument class.

• History of the telescopeCompared with: Radio astronomy expanded telescopic observation beyond visible light.

• Infrared telescopeCompared with: Radio telescopes work at longer wavelengths, often with different detector and atmospheric constraints.
