Target entity: Cambridge interferometer arrays
Context triple: [Martin Ryle, notableWork, Cambridge interferometer arrays]
  • A. Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer
    The Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer was a pioneering astronomical instrument in Australia that used intensity interferometry to measure the angular diameters of hot stars with unprecedented precision.
  • B. intensity interferometer
    An intensity interferometer is a type of astronomical instrument that measures correlations in the intensity of light to determine the angular size and structure of stars with very high precision.
  • C. Very Long Baseline Interferometry
    Very Long Baseline Interferometry is a radio astronomy technique that combines signals from widely separated antennas to achieve extremely high angular resolution and precisely measure geodetic and astronomical parameters.
  • D. Michelson interferometer
    The Michelson interferometer is a precision optical instrument that splits and recombines light beams to measure extremely small differences in path length, widely used in fundamental physics experiments and metrology.
  • E. Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope
    The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) is a massive radio telescope in China and currently the world’s largest single-dish radio observatory, used for studying pulsars, interstellar matter, and the search for extraterrestrial signals.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
