Scientific paper

The Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) is a collaborative effort of the Max-Planck-Institut fur Radioastronomie, Bonn and Steward Observatory, Tucson. It is a 10 m diameter telescope, dedicated to the submillimeter wavelength range and placed in an enclosure which will be opened during observations. The telescope is under construction on Mt. Graham at 3200 m altitude in southeastern Arizona. Construction of the SMT is progressing rapidly and the telescope will go into operation in 1993. This poster will summarize the current construction status. Several technological innovations have been used in the design of the SMT which will assure good performance of the telescope at wavelengths as short as 0.3 mm. These will be illustrated by results of the extensive design optimization and test measurements of the antenna subsystems. In addition, the initial instrumentation capabilities of the SMT facility will be summarized.
