An Instrument Devoted to the Study of mm/sub-mm Galactic Emission at Dome C

Abstract An experiment has been developed in order to map the submillimetre Galactic emission at four different wavelengths between 400 μ m and 2 mm at an angular scale of 1°. A binocular telescope system has been realised by means of two off-axis wobbling parabolic mirrors, each one coupled to a tw...

Description
Summary:Abstract An experiment has been developed in order to map the submillimetre Galactic emission at four different wavelengths between 400 μ m and 2 mm at an angular scale of 1°. A binocular telescope system has been realised by means of two off-axis wobbling parabolic mirrors, each one coupled to a two-channel 3 He photometer. A first run of observations from Dome C is planned for the Antarctic summer 1995–96.
