Previous: Call for Observing Proposals
Proposals for three types of receivers will be considered for the
coming summer semester:
- the observatory's set of four dual polarization heterodyne
receivers centered at wavelengths of 3, 2, 1.3, and 1.1 mm.
- the 9 pixel dual-polarization heterodyne receiver array,
HERA, operating at 1.3 mm wavelength
- The MAMBO-2 bolometer array with 117 pixels operating at 1.2 mm;
the smaller MAMBO-1 array with 37 pixels is kept as a backup.
Emphasis will be put on observations at the longer wavelengths.
About 2100 hours of observing time will be available, considerably
less than in previous summer semesters (see below).
The main news relevant for the coming summer semester are described
here. Details of proposal formalities, instrumentation, observing
modes, and estimation of observing time are described on the
IRAM web site.
