From time to time it is also used for testing of components which are also used at our 25-m dish. This dish is designed to work at L-band and for 1420 MHz (21-cm) in particular to cover the emission of the hydrogen line. A comprehensive description of this instrument&#8217;s design can be found here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/astropeiler.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Part1_3-Meter_Dish_Astropeiler_StockertThe-Setup.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" data-mtli=\"mtli_filesize229MB\">The 3-Meter Dish Part 1: The Setup<\/a> (PDF)<\/p>\n<p>The 3-m dish is suited for a wide range of observation. First of all, there is the 21-cm line from hydrogen. One example is shown above where a scan of the galactic plane is shown. However, also weaker emissions like those from so called &#8220;high velocity clouds&#8221; can be observed. Even OH-masers can be detected to some extent. Besides such spectral sources, also continuum sources are observable. There is the &#8220;classic&#8221; Cassiopeia A of course. But even the radio galaxy M87 which became famous due to the image of the black hole can be seen as a weak signal. The characteristics and various observations are summarized in a paper. Another paper describes the observation of a pulsar which was accomplished with this telescope.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/astropeiler.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Part2_The_3-Meter_Dish_Astropeiler_Stockert_Characterisation_and_Observations.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" data-mtli=\"mtli_filesize175MB\">The 3-Meter Dish Part 2: Characterisation and Observations<\/a> (PDF)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/astropeiler.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Part3_3-Meter_Dish_Astropeiler_Stockert_Pulsar_Observations.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" data-mtli=\"mtli_filesize137MB\">The 3-Meter Dish Part 3: Pulsar Observations<\/a> (PDF)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-large\" src=\"https:\/\/astropeiler.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/styles_large_public_Galactic_scan_3m.png\" alt=\"Galaktische Ebene\" width=\"700\" height=\"391\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>&#8220;First Light&#8221; with the new 3-m-dish<\/h6>\n<p>On July 28, 2017, the fourth radio telescope of the Astropeiler started its test operation with a &#8220;First Light&#8221;.
