Abstract

With growing techniques in observational tools and techniques, astronomical observations are carried out in each area of electromagnetic spectrum. Radio astronomy is a technique, by which, radio waves emitting from astronomical objects are received, recorded, and assessed. The first radio observatiions in Turkey were carried out in TUBİTAK MAM(Marmara Research Center) on 1996-97, by MRT-2 ( Marmara Radio Telescope-2) having 2m dish, which were bought from Kharkov Radio Astronomy Institute with the help of UNIDO. Later on, this telescope was donated to Erciyes University, Astronomy and Space Sciences Department. With the Radio Telescope which was re-constructed with the help of the 5m dishes taken from Turkish Telecom in 2002, the neutral hydrogen observation in our galaxy are planning.
