A Redshift Search Receiver for the Large Millimeter Telescope

AST-0704966/Erickson该项目是为了完成一台能够覆盖整个74-110.5 GHz频段的光谱仪/接收器，该光谱仪将用于确定大量发光的亚毫米射电源的红移(通过观察一氧化碳分子的谱线)。接收器前端已经在五学院射电天文台14米望远镜上进行了演示，该项目将完成光谱仪/接收器的构建，并将其集成到墨西哥的大毫米望远镜上。这将是第一批在这个新望远镜上运行的仪器之一。

AST-0704966/EricksonThis project is for the completion of a spectrometer/receiver capable of covering the entire 74 - 110.5 GHz band, which will be used to determine the redshift (through observations of spectral lines of carbon monoxide molecule) of a large number of luminous submillimeter radio sources. The receiver front-end has been demonstrated to work on the Five College Radio Observatory 14 meter telescope, and this project will complete the construction of the spectrometer/receiver and integrate it to the Large Millimeter Telescope in Mexico. This will be one of the first instruments operating on this new telescope.
