...existing antenna--one of the smallest still used for research--works only up to a frequency of 1600 million cycles per second, Arthur E. Lilley, director of the station, said yesterday. The new antenna and a battery of receivers now under construction will move that range up to 5000 mc/s...
Many of the most important radio sources in space broadcast in this higher range, Lilley said. For the first time, Harvard astronomers will be able to listen in on waves produced by heated hellum, oxygen, and carbon in vast clouds of gas between stars...
Radiation from charged pairs of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Lilley said, could be especially significant. Finding evidence of this material could indicate that vast quantities of organic compounds are being formed naturally in space. So far, however, astronomers have been unable to detect such radiation...
...expansion of the station will not interfere with plans now being made at Harvard and M.I.T. for the world's largest moveable radio dish, 400 feet or more across. Construction on this project is still many years off, Lilley said...
CAMROC predicted in its report that the design study could be completed by June 1967. Lilley himself speculated that if the study were finished then, the telescope could be built by the early...
