| Abstract: | A giant radio telescope for observing galactic and extragalactic radio sources at metre wavelengths is proposed. By locating a parabolic cylindrical antenna at a site close to the Equator such that its axis lies parallel to earth's axis, it is possible to construct a large collecting area economically. The proposed instrument will be very powerful for studying compact and diffuse features of radio sources, monitoring their variability, recombination and deuterium line work, studies of interplanetary medium and pulsar search.Paper presented at the Lembang-Bamberg IAU Colloquium No. 80 on  Double Stars: Physical Properties and Generic Relations , held at Bandung, Indonesia, 3–7 June, 1983. |
