Hydrogen Intensity and Real-time Analysis eXperiment (HIRAX)

0:00

A future experiment on site will be the Hydrogen Intensity and Real-time Analysis eXperiment (HIRAX). This radio telescope array will map a large area of the southern sky in radio continuum and HI, while being used to detect Fast Radio Bursts, over a frequency range of 400 – 800 MHz.

It is currently in the early development stage, with a number of prototypes located at HartRAO. Construction of the first representative dish and infrastructure in the Karoo is imminent.
