Scientific paper

A large synthesis radio telescope is under construction in Australia at a cost of SA 30.7 million. In comprises a 6 km-long `compact array' of 22 m antenna at Culgoora and a `long baseline array' of319 km, achieved by adding another 22 m antenna near Coonabarabran and the existing 64 m antennae at Parkes. On occasion it will be possible to use this array with one of the deep space network antennas at Tidbinbilla to achieve a baseline of 580 km. The arrays have been designed to provide high-resolution radio images over a wide field with high-dynamic range plus good polarization and spectral line performance. The operating frequency range is from about 327 MHz to over 50 GHz
