The Large APEX Bolometer Camera LABOCA
نویسنده
چکیده
The Large APEX Bolometer Camera, LABOCA, has been commissioned for operation as a new facility instrument at the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment 12 m submillimeter telescope. This new 295-bolometer total power camera, operating in the 870 μm atmospheric window, combined with the high efficiency of APEX and the excellent atmospheric transmission at the site, offers unprecedented capability in mapping submillimeter continuum emission for a wide range of astronomical purposes.

Astronomy & Astrophysics Submillimeter observations of the J 2142 - 4423 Ly α protocluster at z = 2 . 38
Aims. We present observations aimed at exploring both the nature of Lyα emitting nebulae (“Lyα blobs”) at z = 2.38 and the way they trace large scale structure (LSS), by exploring their proximity to “maximum starbursts” through submillimeter emission. Our most important objectives are to make a census of associated submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), check their properties, and look for a possible o...
متن کاملThe Atacama Cosmology Telescope: the Laboca/act Survey of Clusters at All Redshifts
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of 11 Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect (SZE)-selected galaxy clusters (10 with new data) from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) southern survey. We have obtained new imaging from the Large APEX Bolometer Camera (345 GHz; LABOCA) on the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescope, the Australia Telescope Compact Array (2.1 GHz; ATCA), and the Spectral and P...

We report on the identification of the highest redshift submillimetre-selected source currently known: LESSJ033229.4−275619.This source was detected in the Large Apex BOlometer CAmera (LABOCA) Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) Submillimetre Survey (LESS), a sensitive 870-μm survey (σ870μm ∼ 1.2mJy) of the full 30 × 30 ECDFS with the LABOCA camera on the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (AP...
متن کاملThe LABOCA survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South – radio and mid-infrared counterparts to submillimetre galaxies
We present radio and infrared (3.6–24-μm) counterparts to submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) detected in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South with the LABOCA 870-μm bolometer camera on the 12-m Atacama Pathfinder Experiment. Using the Very Large Array at 1.4 GHz and Spitzer we have identified secure counterparts to 79 of the 126 SMGs (SNR>3.7, S870 > 4.4 mJy) in the field, 62 via their radio and/or...
متن کاملThe 350 Micrometer Wavelength Superconducting Bolometer Camera for APEX
Since spring 2008, the Small Array Bolometer Camera (SABOCA) operates at APEX (Atacama Pathfinder Experiment), a 12 meter radio telescope on the high plateau Llano de Chajnantor in Chile's Atacama Desert. This instrument utilizes an array of 37 transition edge sensors to detect sub-millimeter radiation in a narrow band around 350μm wavelength, which fits the last useful atmospheric radio window...
