Millimeter Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array
Millimeter Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array, Radio telescope and cosmic microwave background experiment in Palestine, Texas, United States.
The Millimeter Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array contains sixteen bolometric detectors operating at frequencies of 150, 240, and 410 GHz for precise cosmic measurements.
Two significant flights occurred from the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in 1998 and 1999, reaching altitudes of 40,000 meters for comprehensive data collection.
Scientists from multiple research institutions collaborate through MAXIMA to advance understanding of cosmic background radiation and early universe formation.
The telescope integrates two CCD cameras for orientation measurements and implements four spatial modulations to minimize systematic interference during observations.
The experiment mapped 300 square degrees of northern sky regions near the Draco constellation, achieving temperature anisotropy measurements at 10 arcminute resolution.
