Photos of Fenton Hill from Summer 2000

The following pictures are of the projects occuring at Fenton Hill. After each photo is a brief description.

This is a view of the pad. The dome on the right contains REACT. The dome on the left contains a 10" Meade that is currently not functioning. The shed is at the back of the photo. Behind the pad are parts left over from the Hot Dry Rock experiment that will be removed soon.

These two antennas (one in the foreground, the other hard to see, but in the background) are used for radio interferometory. The road you see behind them leads to the DAT trailor.

This is the disc cone antenna which we use to measure background radio noise.

In this picture, you can see part of our Spaced Phased Array. The big white cement blocks (three are shown here, but there are 4, which are in a rectangular formation), contain poles which a nylon rope is strung between (tauntly, which is not shown here) and a copper wire is placed along.

This is the REACT telescope. It will soon be connected to the web and avalible remotely for observing. It is a C14

Celestron. Click here to see CCD pictures taken using REACT.

This picture is from inside the REACT dome (which will soon be replaced by the new building). The computer to the right controls the movements of the telescope (unless being used remotely, and then it acts as a server). The computer to the left has software to control the CCD called MIRA. When the new telescope building is finished, the computers will be moved.

This is Corrie, a UGS from the summer of 2000, who is responsible for taking the pictures.	This is Kristen, another UGS from the summer of 2000, who safely on the ground, wrote the web page.
