The Arcminute Microkelvin imager

The Arcminute Microkelvin imager
The Arcminute Microkelvin imager
The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager is a pair of interferometer arrays operating with six frequency channels spanning 13.9–18.2 GHz, for observations on angular scales of 30 arcsec–10 arcmin and for declinations greater than ?15°; the Small Array has a sensitivity of 30 mJy s?1/2 and the Large Array has a sensitivity of 3 mJy s?1/2. The telescope is aimed principally at Sunyaev–Zel'dovich imaging of clusters of galaxies. We discuss the design of the telescope and describe and explain its electronic and mechanical systems

Abstract

The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager is a pair of interferometer arrays operating with six frequency channels spanning 13.9–18.2 GHz, for observations on angular scales of 30 arcsec–10 arcmin and for declinations greater than ?15°; the Small Array has a sensitivity of 30 mJy s?1/2 and the Large Array has a sensitivity of 3 mJy s?1/2. The telescope is aimed principally at Sunyaev–Zel'dovich imaging of clusters of galaxies. We discuss the design of the telescope and describe and explain its electronic and mechanical systems
