Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last decade has been a golden era for radio astronomy, with new telescopes commissioned, existing facilities upgraded, and future developments planned. This has brought with it new capabilities and opened new areas of research in fields such as survey science, time domain studies, Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry, and spectral line studies. This Special Issue will focus on these new facilities, the science they are enabling, and the opportunities for multi-wavelength studies. Papers related to new instrumentation, new methods and techniques, and new lines of research are particularly welcomed.
