...For solar observation, there are 1.8cm, 3cm, and 8cm wavelength interferometers at the Nobeyama Solar Radio Observatory of the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory and the Nagoya University Research Institute of Atmospherics. The VLA (short for very large array) of the National Astronomical Observatory of the United States is currently the largest radio interferometer in the world. It is an aperture synthesis type radio interferometer that moves 27 25m diameter antennas on a Y-shaped rail with a side length of about 20km, and boasts an excellent resolution of 0.1 arc seconds. ...
