Description

Decametric radio observation from Nançay Decameter Array (NDA) (Lamy et al. 2017). The NDA at the Observatoire Radioastronomique de Nancay (ORN) is a phased array of 144 "Teepee" helicoidal antenna, half of which being Right Handed (RH) polarized and the other half being Left Handed (LH) polarized. Four receivers are currently connected to the NDA, sampling data in spectral ranges within 5 to 80 MHz. This collection covers the MEFISTO high resolution receiver.
