报告题目：The Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope - Current Status and Perspectives

报告 人：Alex Kraus（Effelsberg Radio Observatory）

摘要：The 100-m radio telescope of the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) is a unique European astronomical facility that combines superb sensitivity and wide frequency coverage (300 MHz - 95 GHz) with distinct versatility, making the telescope not only a cutting edge instrument for front-line research but also a testbed for emerging and future technology. Even though it is delivering front-line research for more than 40 years now, the telescope has been continuously modernized and is still heavily involved in various kinds of astronomical research as stand-alone instrument as well as in several VLBI networks. Currently, a large upgrade of the receiver suite at the telescope is nearly complete. Several new, state-of-the-are broad-band receivers have been installed recently or will be commissioned shortly. This also includes a 192-element Phased Array Feed operating at L-Band. In this talk, I will give an overview on the current status of the telescope and will highlight some technical developments and scientific results.

报告人简介：Alex Kraus is the station manager of the Effelsberg Radio Observatory, which is located in Bad Münstereifel-Effelsberg, about 40 km south-west of Bonn. As the „scheduler“ of the 100-m telescope, he also responsible for the planning of the astronomical observations. Furthermore, he is the chairman of the Commission J (Radio Astronomy) of the German Member Committee of the URSI (International Union of Radio Science).
