Hat Creek Radio Observatory is located approximately 467 km (290 mi) northeast of San Francisco, California at an elevation of 986 m (3235 ft) above Sea Level in Hat Creek, California (in Shasta County). Latitude: 40° 49' 03" N; longitude: 121° 28' 24" W. The nearest large city to Hat Creek is Redding, California on highway I-5.
By agreement between the UC Berkeley Radio Astronomy Laboratory (RAL) and the SETI Institute, the needs of conventional radio astronomy determined the pointing of the array up until 2012. The ATA is planned to comprise 350 6 m dishes and will make possible large, deep radio surveys that were not previously feasible.
In June 1983, Valdes and Freitas used the 26 m radiotelescope at Hat Creek Radio Observatory to search for the tritium hyperfine line at 1516 MHz from 108 assorted astronomical objects, with emphasis on 53 nearby stars including all visible stars within a 20 light-year radius.
Hat Creek is home to the Hat Creek Radio Observatory, run by SETI Institute. [3] The town's main economies are tourism, fishing, camping, and lodging. It's a travel hot spot in Shasta County, about 70 miles (110 km) east of Redding, California and about the same distance to Susanville, California. In 2021 the town was threatened by the Dixie ...
Until 2012, RAL maintained a radio astronomy observatory at Hat Creek, near Mt. Lassen. [1] It continues to support on-campus laboratory facilities in Campbell Hall. From 1998 to 2012, the RAL collaborated with the SETI Institute of Mountain View California to design, build and operate the Allen Telescope Array (ATA).
Hat Creek Radio Observatory, Hat Creek, California, US 0.5–11.5 GHz 42 6-m gregorian offset dishes using log periodic cooled feed covering 0.5–11.5 GHz. Operated by joint agreement between SRI International and the SETI Institute: ARO 12m Radio Telescope: Kitt Peak National Observatory, Tucson, Arizona, US
It incorporated dishes from the MMA, the former Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array at Hat Creek Radio Observatory, and the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich Array. [10] It was decommissioned in 2015. The C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) was a 6.1 m (20 ft) telescope used to survey the sky in the C band in support of Cosmic microwave background ...
Bowyer was also active in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI. In 1977, Bowyer started SERENDIP (the Search for Extraterrestrial Radio Emissions From Nearby Developed Intelligent Populations) using an 85-foot telescope at Hat Creek Radio Observatory near Lassen Peak in Northern California.
