Millimetric Sardinia radio Telescope Receiver based on Array of Lumped elements kids [PDF]
MISTRAL is a millimetric camera working in the W-band (78–103 GHz) which will take data from the Sardinia Radio Telescope, the Italian 64-m radio telescope located 50 km form Cagliari, at 600m above the sea level, in Sardinia.

Low-frequency View of GW170817/GRB 170817A with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope [PDF]
The short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 170817A was the first GRB associated with a gravitational-wave event. Due to the exceptionally low luminosity of the prompt γ-ray and the afterglow emission, the origin of both radiation components is highly debated.

The Most Sensitive SETI Observations Toward Barnard's Star with FAST
Search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has been mainly focused on nearby stars and their planets in recent years. Barnard’s star is the second closest star system to the Sun and the closest star in the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio

Packed Ultra-wideband Mapping Array (PUMA): A Radio Telescope for Cosmology and Transients [PDF]
PUMA is a proposal for an ultra-wideband, low-resolution and transit interferometric radio telescope operating at $200-1100\,\mathrm{MHz}$. Its design is driven by six science goals which span three science themes: the physics of dark energy (measuring ...
