| Abstract: |
We present the Virtual Radio Interferometer, a Java applet which allows the demonstration of earth-rotation aperture synthesis by simulating existing and imaginary telescopes. It may be used as an educational tool for teaching interferometry as well as a utility for observers. The use of the Java language is discussed, and the role of the language, within the astronomical software context, reviewed. |
