SCUBA-2: Technology in the Service of Astronomy

William Duncan of the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh - 13 Sep at 12:00 noon

The SCUBA-2 project team is developing a wide-field camera for sub-mm astronomy. The instrument is ambitious both in its astronomy goals and technically. The presentation will cover the instrument and detector development, as well as looking at the astronomical benefits and the context of the instrument with new facilities, such as ALMA.

The seminar will be held in JILA S-105.
