The Murriyang telescope at the Parkes observatory is a 64 meter diameter dish located near the town of Parkes, New South Wales

The largest single dish in the southern hemisphere, Murriyang has a rich history in astronomy and space communication. The Breakthrough Listen project has recorded extremely high frequency resolution data from the Multibeam, Ultra Wideband Low (UWL), and CryoPAF receivers.

SETI observations at Parkes have focussed on nearby stars, galaxies, and the galactic centre (uniquely accessible from the southern hemisphere). The primary SETI data product has a frequency resolution of just 2.5 Hz, ideal for searching for narrow band drifting technosignatures (as well as for RFI monitoring and the study of narrowband astrophysical sources such as MASERs).

Additionally, we regularly record a high time resolution data product with the UWL which can be used to study transient emission from e.g. pulsars and FRBs.
