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 about '''10 mJy sqrt(sec)''' (cf. report 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 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). ---- == Call for proposals for the Winter Semester 2012/2013 == GISMO is offered again to the community: * [[http://www.iram-institute.org/EN/content-page-169-7-57-169-0-0.html|Call for observing proposals with the 30m]] * [[attachment:TimeEstimator_v2.pdf|Updated guidelines to estimate observing times (Billot et al. 2012)]]. * [[attachment:bruni-aug2012-gismo.pdf|Report on GISMO performance based on the pool run in April-2012 (Bruni et al. 2012)]]. * [[http://www.submm.caltech.edu/~sharc/crush/|crush]] data processing software will be used to reduce all data. == Observing scripts in preparation for the 2 pool weeks of the summer semester 2012 in November == Summer semester 2012 observations will be carried out as pooled observations from a dedicated pool account. G.Bruni will provide login information. Progress of observations can be followed via the [[https://herapool.iram.es|pool data base]]. * GismoObservingScripts provides examples and explanations about how to start !PaKo in order to run the telescope with GISMO, and about total power maps using Lissajous and On-the-fly patterns. Observations using the wobbler will not be offered for this run. The old page GismoHowToObserve is obsolete. * [[https://www.iram.es/IRAMES/mainWiki/GismoPakoNotes|Notes on paKo and NCS for GISMO 2012]] gives additional information on Pakonew and Lissajou observing mode. == Documentation == * [[attachment:GISMOSoftwareOperationalManual23apr2012.pdf]] by Steve Maher and Johannes Staguhn, April 2012 * [[attachment:GISMONCSInterfaceandFITSFormatv0.5.pdf|GISMO NCS Software Interface and FITS File Description]] by Steve Maher, Attila Kovacs, Albrecht Sievers, April 2012 * GISMO observing schedule for the November 2012 run (not yet available) * Pool observers for the November 2012 run (not yet available) == Publications == 1.
