The early history of Radio Astronomy in Europe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 January 2006
Abstract
Radio astronomy developed in several European countries on the initiative and with the expertise of scientists who had been involved in radar research during World War II. This paper traces the influence of various radar techniques on the design of early radio telescopes, covering the period 1945–1955, after which time radio had become accepted as a natural discipline within astronomy.
