Seoul Radio Astronomical Observatory
– established 2002
– SNU astronomy program maintains a 6 meter radio telescope.
The radio telescope is equipped with a sensitive radio receiver together with spectrometers operating at 210-250 GHz band (1.3 mm in wavelength). The facility is used for the observational studies of interstellar clouds, molecular clouds associated with supernova remnants, and external galaxies, in the molecular lines including CO rotational transitions. SRAO is open to students and world-wide researchers for both research and education. SRAO also holds users meetings and conferences at intervals to promote collaboration.
