SUMMARY:Astronomy Night 11: Live demonstration of Bangladesh's first array radio telescope
DESCRIPTION:From November 17 to 21\, in CASSA’s second workshop\, 30 students from 10 universities in Bangladesh participated in building\, for the first time in the country\, a Transient Array Radio Telescope (TART). The workshop instructor was Dr. Tim Molteno from the University of Otago in New Zealand\, the lead designer of TART. After seven countries in the Southern Hemisphere\, this is the first time a TART has been installed in the Northern Hemisphere. \nAt this Astronomy Night\, live images from the Small TART (START)\, installed beside the CASSA Office on the IUB rooftop\, will be shown at 6 PM\, when the workshop students will share their experience of working with this radio telescope. After 7 PM\, image-taking of nebulae and star clusters in the Dhaka sky will be demonstrated with CASSA’s small optical telescope Ashvin-1. Additionally\, an 80-millimeter refracting telescope equipped with an eyepiece will allow viewers to observe some objects of the solar system. \n \nLIVE Data of START\, IUB: https://tart.elec.ac.nz/viewer/bd-iub \nStudents from 10 universities participated in CASSA Workshop 2 from 17 – 21 Nov 2025. \nDr. Tim Molteno demonstrating TART imaging during CASSA Workshop 2. \nStudents are learning to measure distances between pairs of antennas in order to perform an array calibration.
