Exploration of Southern Sky with Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE)

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 91))

Abstract

The Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) is a joint project between Japan and Chile to install and operate a 10 m high precision telescope for exploration of the Southern sky at submillimeter wavelengths. Due to the excellent atmospheric conditions at the site, Pampa la Bola (4800 m) in the Atacama desert in northern Chile, ASTE offers an unique opportunity to make extensive submillimeter observations. We successfully started scientific observations in August 2003 at 800, 500, and 350 GHz bands.
