Abstract

This paper is devoted to the development of capabilities of the RATAN-600 radio telescope by putting the regime of multi-azimuth observations at the southern sector with periscope reflector into regular operation. This method makes it possible to study the dynamics of variable radio sources on temporal scales down to a few minutes and increase by one order of magnitude the number of variable sources observed during sky surveys. To date, over ten series of observations of the Sun were performed in the new regime using the multi-wavelength receiver complex, and new astrophysical results were obtained. The software for multi-wavelength mapping of the Sun and wavelet analysis of time series is developed. The following characteristics of the regime are achieved: a temporal resolution of 4 min during a time interval of up to 4.5 h for observations at azimuth angles in the interval from 30° to -30°.
