| | THE LARGE MILLIMETER TELESCOPE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | The LMT will have a surface accuracy of ~70 microns, enabling high efficiency measurements of astronomical sources at wavelengths from 1 to 3 mm. |
 | | The LMT is well suited for studies of the most distant objects, such as primeval galaxies and galaxy clusters, to nearby objects, such as protostars, planets and comets. |
 | | LMT related research opportunities at the University include pioneering astronomical research, design and implementation of novel telescope control systems, millimeter-wave optics design, and the development of state-of-the-art millimeter wavelength detectors and cameras. |
