MRI: Development of Bolometer Cameras for the Large Millimeter Telescope

AST-0215916威尔逊，格兰特最近，两组突破性的观测-发现连续辐射从原星系在毫米和亚毫米波长范围，以及迄今为止最大的展示Sunyaev-Zeldovich效应的星系团目录的开发-为美国/墨西哥大型毫米波望远镜上的一套连续相机对星系和星系团演化的高级研究奠定了基础（LMT），目前正在建设中。 为了确保LMT的直接科学回报，该奖项将有助于资助建造BOLOCAM的副本-一个现有的宽格式（144像素）测辐射热相机为加州理工学院亚毫米波天文台开发。 这台名为BOLOCAM II的相机将成为LMT早期的旗舰连续阵列接收器，对于望远镜调试和早期科学成果至关重要。 ***

AST-0215916Wilson, GrantRecently, two ground-breaking sets of observations -discoveries of continuum radiation from protogalaxies in the millimeter and submillimeter wavelength range, and the development of the largest catalog to date of galaxy clusters exhibiting the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect -have set the stage for advanced studies of galaxy and cluster evolution by a suite of continuum cameras on the US/Mexico Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), currently under construction. To ensure immediate scientific payoff from the LMT, this award will contribute to funding the construction of a copy of BOLOCAM -an existing, wide format (144 pixel) bolometer camera developed for the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. This camera, called BOLOCAM II, will be the flagship continuum array receiver in the early years of the LMT, and will be essential for telescope commissioning as well as early science results. ***
