  • Abstract
    Major research was begun in March, 1962, with the 210-foot steerable radio telescope at the Australian National Radio Observatory. Current and planned investigations are numerous and diverse, and include observations at wavelengths of 11, 21, 30, 75 and 220 cm. This paper sketches the telescope and equipment details and describes the research program, including results to date.
