| In October 2008, the GISMO team Johannes Staguhn, Stephen Maher, Elmer Sharp, Dale Fixsen, and Dominic Benford spent two weeks at the 30m observatory to first install their GISMO bolometer in the lab and then in the receiver cabin to test its performance on the sky. GISMO consists of 8x16 pixels with transition edge sensors (TES). The nominal bandwidth is 125-175GHz, pixels are spaced by 14", the telescope HPBW is 17" at 2mm. | This page is maintained by CK, SL, and the GISMO team |

| The 2mm spectral range provides a unique terrestrial window enabling ground-based observations of the earliest active dusty galaxies in the universe and thereby allowing a better constraint on the star formation rate in these objects. Preliminary results from this second observing run at the 30m telescope look very promising. | <<Anchor(beginOfPage)>> |
