This paper presents the technical specifications and scientific capabilities of the Santa Maria VGOS antenna, a 13.2-meter radio telescope that is part of the RAEGE (Rede Atlântica de Estações Geodinâmicas e Espaciais) network in the Azores. While primarily designed for geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), we demonstrate its potential for astronomical applications in single-dish […]

We analysed a GOES C6.2 class solar flare that occurred on 27 October 2003 at the heliographic position S20E29. Utilising a database developed from a simplified 3D magnetic loop model, we inferred a set of geometric and physical parameters to characterise the flare.This model, based on general properties of known solar flares and adjusted for
