| The Goddard-IRAM Superconducting 2mm Observer (GISMO) is a bolometer camera for the IRAM 30m telescope. It has been build by Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland under the lead of Johannes Staguhn. GISMO consists of '''8x16 pixels''' with super conducting transition edge sensors (TES). The TES are read out by time domain SQUID multiplexers built at the National Institute for Standards (NIST), in Boulder, Colorado. The nominal bandwidth is 140-162 GHz (FWHM), pixels are spaced by '''13.75"''', the telescope HPBW is '''16.7"'''. The sensitivity has improved relative to the April 2011 run to a media value of about '''14 mJy sqrt(sec)''' (cf. reports below). The field-of-view is ''' 1.8'x3.7' '''. Two standard observing modes are offered, Lissajous curves and on-the-fly scans. Both work in total power, without switching the secondary. An automated pipeline merges the GISMO data with the telescope data streams to create FITS files which are automatically processed by the reduction software crush to create logs, pointing results, and a first quick view of the data. Typical overheads for single science targets on the sky are 60%. The relative flux stability is about 8% (cf. report below). |

GISMO
The Goddard-IRAM Superconducting 2mm Observer (GISMO) is a bolometer camera for the IRAM 30m telescope. It has been build by Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland under the lead of Johannes Staguhn.

Overview
GISMO consists of 8x16 pixels with super conducting transition edge sensors (TES). The TES are read out by time domain SQUID multiplexers built at the National Institute for Standards (NIST), in Boulder, Colorado. The nominal bandwidth is centred at 2 mm (150 GHz). The transmission function is shown in Figure 1. Pixels are spaced by 13.75" and the telescope HPBW is 16.7". The sensitivity is about 14 mJy sqrt(sec) (cf. reports of the pool runs of April 2012 and 2013, below). The field-of-view is 1.8'x3.7' . Two standard observing modes are offered, Lissajous curves and on-the-fly scans. Both work in total power, without switching the secondary. An automated pipeline merges the GISMO data with the telescope data streams to create FITS files which are automatically processed by the reduction software crush to create logs, pointing results, and a first quick view of the data. Typical overheads for single science targets on the sky are 60%. The relative flux stability is about 8%.

GISMO How-to's
Pool Preparation provides information on the observing modes offered as well as examples of the scripts that you need to prepare to observe your project.
Observing Session provides an example of a typical session at the 30m telescope with GISMO.
Data Reduction provides some basic examples to reduce GISMO data using CRUSH. For more detail please see the CRUSH documentation.
Frequently asked questions provides answers to some commonly asked questions.
4th GISMO pool (October/November 2013)
The 4th GISMO pool will take place from the 22nd of October to the 5th of November 2013. Observations will be carried from a dedicated pool account (I. Hermelo will provide login information).
Pool projects and observers
For information about the accepted projects and the observers at the 30m please go to:
Progress
The progress of the 4th GISMO pool can be followed via:
