MUSTANG (camera)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MUSTANG or the Multiplexed SQUID TES Array at Ninety GHz is a focal plane array bolometer camera built for the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). In September of 2006 it became the first instrument to use the GBT at 90 GHz. After a final round of commissioning, it will become available for professional astronomers who will use it to study our solar system, star formation, distant galaxy clusters and more. The project is a collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania, NASA Goddard, NRAO, NIST, and Cardiff University.
