AST-0503946/Harris (U Maryland)An ultra-wideband spectrometer, called the Zpectrometer, will be constructed and installed on the 100 meter diameter Green Bank Telescope. The Zpectrometer will cover the entire 26 - 40 GHz band which will allow sensitive and efficient spectral searches for molecules in high redshift galaxies. The predominant use will be for the detection of carbon monoxide at redshifts between 1.9 and 3.4, corresponding to the Universe's most active era of star formation.

AST-0503946/哈里斯（U马里兰州）一个超宽带光谱仪，称为Z光谱仪，将建造和安装在100米直径的绿色银行望远镜。Zpectrometer将覆盖整个26 - 40 GHz频段，这将允许对高红移星系中的分子进行灵敏和有效的光谱搜索。主要用途将是探测红移在1.9和3.4之间的一氧化碳，这对应于宇宙最活跃的星星形成时期。
