Telescopes around the world
|
|
In addition to its own “house” telescope (in) Effelsberg, the Institute uses a number of telescopes around the world for its radio astronomical research assignments.

|
Effelsberg 100-meter-Radiotelescope
|
|
In operation since 1972, the telescope remains one of the most technologically advanced radio telescopes worldwide thanks to the continuous developments and upgrades from the telescope.

VLBI and EVN
|
|
The MPIfR is part of a global network of telescopes for radio interferometry (VLBI). The EVN (European VLBI Network) is the European network for radio interferometry.

|
Heinrich-Hertz-Telescope
|
|
In cooperation with the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, the MPIfR erected a 10-m-radiotelescope for the sub-millimetre-wavelength range.

APEX - Atacama Pathfinder Experiment
|
|
The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment is a sub-millimetre-telescope erected in the Atacama Desert in Chile at more than 5000-m height. The 12-metre-radiotelescope was constructed at Llano de Chajnantor, an ideal site for sub-millimetre observations.
