COSMOlogical Structures On Medium Angular Scales
COSMOlogical Structures On Medium Angular Scales, Radio telescope at Teide Observatory, Spain
The COSMOlogical Structures On Medium Angular Scales features a 2.5-meter primary mirror and 1.8-meter secondary mirror for cosmic microwave background observations.
The facility operated from 1998 to 2007 under the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, gathering data at frequencies of 12.7, 14.7, and 16.3 gigahertz.
The telescope contributed to international scientific understanding by mapping spatial variations in temperature of the 2.7K cosmic microwave background radiation.
The instrument generates daily sky maps covering 9000 square degrees centered at a declination of 31 degrees with a resolution between 1 and 5 degrees.
The system employs a spinning flat mirror directing sky radiation into an off-axis paraboloidal antenna, combined with a cryogenically cooled HEMT-based receiver.
