A report on PRL's interplanetary scintillation (IPS) radio telescopes

Abstract

Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) has two radio telescopes operating at 103 MHz. The telescopes are situated at Thaltej and Rajkot. This article briefly describes the various sub-systems of these telescopes. There has been several interesting astronomical findings from the observations of these telescopes, e.g. on cometary plasma tail, solar wind, plasma blobs and holes in the interplanetary medium and radio enhancement of a pulsar. These will also be summarized here.
