AMiBA, Radio telescope in Hawaii County, US
The Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy consists of seven compact antennas positioned at an elevation of 3396 meters for astronomical observations.
The telescope began operations in 2006 with a seven-element interferometer configuration and captured its first observations of Jupiter in October of that year.
Scientists from Taiwan, Australia, and the United States collaborate at this facility to study the fundamental properties of cosmic microwave background radiation.
The telescope operates during nighttime hours under specific weather conditions, using planetary bodies as reference points for measurement calibration.
AMiBA detected signals from six galaxy clusters in 2007, measuring distances between redshifts of 0.091 and 0.322 through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect.
