Cover Picture


 
Figure: Aligning the bolometer at the IRAM 30-m Telescope: A view from the receiver cabin through the vertex windows shows two engineers adjusting the beam of the MPI bolometer for the winter 1999/2000 campaign. The mechanism on the platform allows to move a chopper wheel (pointing at an ambient load and the sky) in horizontal and vertical direction. The optimum alignment is achieved when the bolometer looks toward the center of the subreflector. With this picture the IRAM staff send their Christmas greetings and best wishes for the year 2001.
