First Interferometric Observations in Irbene - Torun Baseline Conducted by VIRAC

Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre (VIRAC, Latvia) operates two radio telescopes, RT-16 and RT-32 accordingly, with fully steerable 16-and 32-m Cassegrain type antennas.The main receiving systems of the both telescopes are cryogenic receivers with 4.5-8.8GHz frequency range.Additionally, in 2019 radio telescope RT-32 will be equipped with a new L band receiver.Data registration units of the both antennas are suitable for interferometric observations.The Nicolaus Copernicus University Department of
