Next: What is new? Up: Call for Observing Proposals Previous: Call for Observing Proposals

Summary

Proposals for three types of receivers will be considered for the coming summer semester:
  1. the observatory's set of four dual polarization heterodyne receivers centered at wavelengths of 3, 2, 1.3, and 1.1 mm.
  2. the 9 pixel dual-polarization heterodyne receiver array, HERA, operating at 1.3 mm wavelength
  3. a 1.2 mm bolometer array with 37 or 117 pixels
Emphasis will be put on observations at the longer wavelengths. In total, about 2800 hours of observing time will be available, which should allow scheduling of a few longer programmes (up to $\sim 150$ hours). The main news, proposal formalities, details of the various receivers, and observing modes are described below.
