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).

Call for proposals for the winter semester 2013/14

GISMO is offered again to the community:

Observations

How to observe

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.

Pointing Sources

Plots for Pointing Sources can be accessed within the IRAM network. These data are provided ONLY to help in the planning of observations, in particular to select pointing and focus sources at the IRAM 30-m telescope. They should not be used for any other purpose.

Data reduction

GISMO data are reduced using CRUSH (Comprehensive Reduction Utility for SHARC2 - and more).

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:
