Cavendish Astrophysics Group

The Cavendish Astrophysics Group (formerly the Radio Astronomy Group) is based at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. The group operates all of the telescopes at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory except for the 32m MERLIN telescope, which is operated by Jodrell Bank.

• A Heterodyne Array Receiver for B-band (HARP-B) at the James_Clerk_Maxwell_Telescope
• The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) - several modules of this international project
• The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI)
• The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MRO Interferometer)
• The Planck Surveyor
• The Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope (COAST)
• The Extended Very Small Array
• The CLOVER telescope
