Welcome to your new ATNF website
CSIRO operates several radio astronomy observatories, telescopes and data archives that are collectively known as the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF). We are comprised of specialists who work across operations, research and technology in radio astronomy.
This website is the resource space for all users of the Australia Telescope National Facility, whether you’re a student researcher, international engineer, university fellow, or CSIRO staff. Here you’ll find information on proposal submission, technology memos and specs, observing information, conference notes, event updates and more.
We look forward to sharing this with you as it develops.
