The case for a bolometric millimetre camera at the IRAM 30m telescope
Abstract
Description
We describe here the important astrophysical results that could be obtained by using large format (say 32 by 32) bolometric detectors at 1 and 2 mm with the IRAM 30m telescope: having a confusion-limited 1 mm extragalactic survey containing a large fraction of high redshift objects, mapping star formation regions in our galaxy at 1 mm, and mapping the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect at 2 mm in tens of high-redshift clusters. We also show a first optical implementation and the key points of this project.
