Name: Richard E. BarvainisDate: 11/16/2005 11:12 AMKeyword: AbstractNote:The Caltech Submillimeter Observatory employs a precision 10.4-meter-diametertelescope operating within a dome to observe the sky at submillimeter wavelengths.This award will continue funding for the next three years for observatory operations,staff and student support, and for instrumentation development. Areas of research willinclude studies of molecular gas and dust in distant primeval galaxies, large-scaleimaging of star-forming clouds using powerful new bolometer cameras, andobservations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect on the cosmic microwave background.Instrumentation will be developed to increase overall system sensitivity and mappingspeed. The CSO trains many undergraduate students, graduate students andpostdoctoral fellows, in both observational science and instrumentation development. Aconsiderable fraction of telescope time is allocated to students, both at Caltech and atother institutions; overall, more than 50% of telescope usage is by astronomers fromoutside of Caltech. The CSO is noteworthy for its pioneering research in astronomicalreceiver technology, which is used at many other observatories both national andworldwide.NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATIONDiary NoteProposal:0540882 PI Name:Phillips, Thomas G.Printed from eJacket: 11/16/05 Page 1 of 1
