Scientific paper

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Academia Sinica are building a submillimeter wavelength interferometer consisting of eight 6 meter antennas sited near the summit of Mauna Kea. Each antenna will be equipped with up to eight receivers covering 180 to 900 GHz, and the maximum angular resolution will vary from 0.1 to 0.4 arcseconds over the frequency range. A flexible correlator will accept two IF channels from each antenna of 2 GHz bandwidth. The first astronomical fringes between array antennas were obtained in October 1998 at the assembly facility in Westford, Massachusetts. Gradual deployment of antennas to Mauna Kea will begin in 1999.
