(Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope)
(radio telescope in New South Wales)

MOST (Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope) is a radio telescope just east of Canberra in New South Wales, Australia. It is a c1980 rebuilding of the 1960s Molonglo Cross Telescope, which was cross-shaped, with north-south and east-west arms. MOST reconfigured that into twin 778 m east-west cylindrical telescopes, 15 m separated. More recently, MOST has undergone two substantial upgrades, termed UTMOST and UTMOST-2D (which went back to a cross-shaped form), now targeting radio transients, such as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and pulsars. Among the surveys carried out on MOST is SUMSS, the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey.
