MAMBO2 has been decommissioned in April 2011
This Wiki is dedicated to the Bolometer Pool Observing at the IRAM-30m. The Pool Observing is organized to optimize the observing time at the telescope, especially during winter with the bolometer projects. Newcomers should first read the Introduction to the Pool.
