Observatory
The Argentine Institute of Radio Astronomy (Spanish: Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía , IAR) was jointly established by the National Scientific and Technical Research Council , the National University of La Plata and the University of Buenos Aires . Its functions are to promote and coordinate research and technical development of radio astronomy and collaborate in teaching.
In the year 1963, construction began on the first 30 m telescope under the direction of Carlos Varsavsky . The observatory entered service on March 26, 1966.
The IAR participates in the Long Latin American Millimeter Array ,[1] and will join the Cherenkov Telescope Array project, using a site either near San Antonio de los Cobres or at the Leoncito Astronomical Complex .
