The Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica in México and the University of Massachusetts in the USA are collaborating to build the world's largest radio telescope that operates at short millimeter wavelengths. This facility, known as the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) or Gran Telescopio Milimétrico (GTM), is being erected at an altitude of 4600m on Volcán Sierra Negra in the Mexican state of Puebla. The telescope will be a fully steerable dish with a diameter of 50m and an active surface which will be adjusted under computer control to correct for thermal and gravitational deformations. Instruments include focal plane arrays to image both continuum and spectral line emission from celestial sources. The LMT/GTM will be an extremely powerful facility for studies encompassing almost every area of astronomy, including extragalactic and cosmological research. In particular, the high sensitivity, angular resolution, and mapping speed will enable detailed investigations of dusty objects such as AGNs and starburst merging galaxies out to very large redshifts.
