2019年8月27日 · CCAT-prime is a new 6 m crossed Dragone telescope designed to characterize the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization and foregrounds, measure the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects of galaxy clusters, map the [CII] emission intensity from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), and monitor accretion luminosity over multi-year timescales of hundreds of...

Rendering of CCAT site and telescope. The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) will be a 6-meter (20 feet) diameter telescope designed to operate at submillimeter to millimeter wavelengths and located at an exceptional site at 5600 meters (18,400 feet) on Cerro Chajnantor overlooking the ALMA array.

2018年6月29日 · We present an overview of the motivation and design of Prime-Cam, a first-light instrument for CCAT-prime. Prime-Cam will house seven instrument modules in a 1.8 meter diameter cryostat, cooled by a dilution refrigerator.

2022年8月10日 · We describe the first light 280 GHz MKID array for Prime-Cam and present its initial laboratory characterization. In particular, we show a measurement that is an important first step of an array postprocessing method for improving yield and the effect of …

CCAT-prime (CCAT-p) will be a 6-meter diameter, 10-micron surface precision telescope operating at submillimeter to millimeter wavelengths and sited at 5600 meters elevation on Cerro Chajnantor in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The novel optical design (see figure below) will deliver a high-

CCAT-prime will address a suite of science goals, from Big Bang cosmology to star formation and galaxy evolution over cosmic time. Prime-Cam, a first-generation science instrument for FYST, will deliver over ten times greater sub-mm mapping speed than current and near-term facilities for unprecedented mm and sub-mm broadband and spectroscopic ...
