The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)
The Atacama Large Millimeter Array, or ALMA, is an international telescope project which will be built over the coming decade in Northern Chile. With over 7000 m of collecting area comprised of 64 12m antennas arrayed over baselines up to 14 km in extent, ALMA will provide images of unprecedented clarity and detail. One revolutionary feature of ALMA will be its ability to combine interferometri...
متن کاملA Japanese Plan of Receiver Developments for LMSA/ALMA
We present a baseline plan of Japanese receiver developments for the Large Millimeter Submillimeter Array (LMSA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). Two receiver cartridge layouts for ALMA band 8 (385 – 500 GHz) have been proposed based on a quasi-optical sideband separation. These cartridges will be evaluated in a secondary focal receiver system with the Atacama Submillimeter Telesc...
متن کاملThe Atacama Large Millimeter / Submillimeter Array 1 Development Program
1The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international astronomy facility, is a partnership of East Asia, Europe and North America in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. ALMA is funded in East Asia by the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) of Japan in cooperation with the Academia Sinica (AS) in Taiwan. In Europe ALMA is funded by the European Southern Observ...
متن کاملFTS Measurements of Submillimeter-Wave Atmospheric Opacity at Pampa la Bola III. Water Vapor, Liquid Water, and 183 GHz Water Vapor Line Opacities
Further analysis has been made on the millimeter and submillimeter-wave (100–1600 GHz or 3 mm – 188 μm) atmospheric opacity data taken with the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) at Pampa la Bola, 4800 m above sea level in northern Chile, which is the site of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Time-sequence plots of millimeter and submillimeter-wave opacities show simila...
متن کاملSIS Junctions for Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave Mixers
We have developed a process for the fabrication of highquality Nb/AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions with small area and high current densities for the heterodyne mixers at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. Their dc I-V curves are numerically studied, including the broadening of quasiparticle density of states resulting from the existence of an imaginary part of the gap energy of Nb. We have foun...
