Abstract

The 50-meter Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) operating on the Sierra Negra in Mexico is the largest single- dish millimeter-wave telescope in the world. Although designed to work in the 3 mm and 1 mm bands, there is significant potential for LMT observations at centimeter wavelengths. Here, we summarize the scientific case and operational arguments for a K-band receiver system on the LMT, describe several of the unique technical challenges that the proposed installation would entail, and mention some possible solutions to these challenges.
在大型毫米望远镜上安装k波段接收器的可能性
位于墨西哥塞拉内格拉的50米大型毫米波望远镜(LMT)是世界上最大的单碟毫米波望远镜。虽然设计工作在3毫米和1毫米波段,有显著潜力的LMT观测在厘米波长。在这里,我们总结了在LMT上的k波段接收器系统的科学案例和操作参数,描述了拟议安装将带来的几个独特的技术挑战,并提到了一些可能的解决方案。
