Arcminute Microkelvin Imager
Arcminute Microkelvin Imager, Radio interferometer at Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, England
The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager features two distinct arrays: a Small Array with 10 antennas and a Large Array containing 8 parabolic antennas measuring 12.8 meters each.
The Large Array incorporates components from the previous Ryle Telescope, with antennas positioned between 18 and 110 meters apart for precise angular resolution measurements.
Scientists at the observatory conduct extensive research on galaxy clusters by analyzing secondary variations in the cosmic microwave background through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect.
The facility operates within a frequency range of 12 to 18 GHz and maintains dual array configurations for simultaneous observations of different cosmic phenomena.
The Small Array's ten 3.7-meter diameter antennas, arranged at intervals from 5 to 20 meters, enable high-resolution imaging of galaxy clusters.
