After spending the last ten years designing, building and operating the new e-MERLIN telescope network the team behind it, based at the University of Manchester's School of Physics & Astronomy and its Jodrell Bank Observatory, have won the 2015 RAS team award. The small team involved in the design and construction of e-MERLIN have delivered what is now one of the world's most powerful radio telescopes, created by linking seven individual large dishes across the UK (including the iconic Lovell Telescope) via a dedicated optical fibre network to a powerful correlator at Jodrell Bank.
