Radio Astronomical Observatory of Suffa, and new proposals for radioastroclimatic (seeing) studies for atmospheric radio prediction are described. The paper presents the results of many-year (2015-2020) and seasonal observations of the astroclimate at the construction site of the RT-70 radio telescope on the Suffa plateau (an altitude of 2400 m above sea level). Observations were carried out automatically every 10 minutes throughout the year, starting from November 2014.

After Prof. R. Wielebinski visited China in 1999, we started to plan the Sino-German λ6 cm polarization survey of the Galactic plane, using the Urumqi 25-m radio telescope of Xinjiang (formerly Urumqi) Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is a high-frequency complement of previous Effelsberg 21-cm and 11-cm surveys, using the same observing and processing methods. The telescope is located at an altitude of 2029 m above sea level at geographic longitude of 87°E and latitude 43°N. The dual-channel λ6 cm receiver with a polarimeter and a bandwidth of 600 MHz was designed by O. Lochner and constructed at the MPIfR in Germany with involvements by the Urumqi engineers M.Z. Chen and J. Ma. In August 2004, the receiver was installed at the secondary focus of the Urumqi 25-m telescope.

In this paper, we first describe the situation of radio interference at the Miyun station in Beijing Astronomical Observatory, and then new developments in both hardware and software techniques of interference rejection for the Miyun Synthesis Radio Telescope (MSRT) are described.

From Abell's (1958) list of clusters of galaxies, 137 clusters of distance group 5 were observed at 1410 MHz with the 210 ft radio telescope of the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Parkes. The detected radio sources were further confirmed hy observations at 2650 MHz with the same telescope and at 408 MHz with the east-west arm of the Mills Cross at the Molonglo Radio Astronomical Observatory. A total of 25 radio sources was detected within 5' arc of the centres of corresponding clusters of galaxies, while the mathematical expectation of the number of random coincidences with clusters is about two or three

AbstractNew radio and optical telescopes installed in recent years in China are summarised. These include the 2.16-m optical telescope, the solar magnetic field telescope, the Miyun synthesis radio telescope, the 1.26-m infrared telescope (Beijing Astronomical Observatory), the 25-m radio telescope as the first station of China’s VLBI network, the 1.56-m astrometric telescope (Shanghai Observatory), and the 13.7-m millimetre wave radio telescope.

The spectroscopic observations described in this paper were made with instruments belonging to the Royal Society, and in accordance with certain suggestions which had been made to the author by a committee appointed in consequence of a letter of his to Sir Edward Sabine, President, dated 13th February, 1866. In view of his residence at a considerable height above the sea-level, and of the exceedingly clear atmosphere prevailing at some periods of the year, it was suggested that the locality was peculiarly favourable for a determination of the lines of the solar spectrum due to atmospheric absorption, and that, for this purpose, the solar spectrum when the sun was high should be compared with the spectrum at sunset, and any additional lines which might appear in the latter case should be noted with reference to Kirchhoff’s map. Accordingly the author set to work with the spectroscope first supplied to him, and in the autumns of 1868 and 1869 mapped the differences in question from the extreme red to D. These results appeared in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society' for June 16,1870, and the map of the spectra, sun high and sun low, of the region in question forms plate 1 of the 19th volume.
