Goheung Radio Interferometer and its Applications for Youth

The Goheung radio interferometer with three 1.8-m antennas has been installed at National Youth Space Center in Goheung, Korea. The interferometric observation of the Sun using the Goheung radio interferometer was carried out and the observed data was analysed to construct the radio contour map of the Sun in 2014. The specifications of Goheung radio interferometer and the synthesized interferometer map of the Sun are provided. As a science activity center for youth, we currently provide students some experimental activities based on the principle of radio observation and interferometer. Our goal is to encourage youth to be interested in astronomy by engaging real experience of radio observation and constructing a synthesized interferometer map with observed data.
