This award is one of a group of three in support of the research program at the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array (BIMA) millimeter wave interferometer. A consortium of three major universities, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Illinois, and the University of Maryland have pooled their resources, both financial and human, to develop an outstanding astronomical facility, clearly a world leader in millimeter wave interferometry. The program funded here will utilize the existing three-element array as it is expanded to nine telescopes. Investigations will study objects ranging from our sun and planets in our solar system to distant galaxies. The instrument and software reduction packages will also be made available to users outside the BIMA consortium.

该奖项是支持伯克利-伊利诺伊-马里兰阵列(BIMA)毫米波干涉仪研究计划的三人小组之一。由加州大学伯克利分校、伊利诺伊大学和马里兰大学三所主要大学组成的联盟汇集了他们的财力和人力资源，开发了一个杰出的天文设施，显然是毫米波干涉测量领域的世界领先者。这里资助的项目将利用现有的三元素阵列，因为它将扩展到九个望远镜。调查将研究从我们的太阳和太阳系中的行星到遥远的星系的各种物体。仪器和软件缩减包也将向BIMA财团以外的用户提供。
