RxW

for Semester 98A

The commissioning dates for RxW are provisionally set for late in semester 97B. Unfortunately, the dates will be after the regular PATT deadline and after the ITAC meeting which will be awarding time during semester 98A. It will not be possible to accept applications which specifically require the features and sensitivities of the RxW instrument. Therefore the D-band (690 GHz) section is NOT available for semester 98A. C-band observations can be applied for assuming that the project can be completed using the existing RxC2. If, and when, RxW is commissioned, all outstanding C-band applications will be transferred to use the new instrument.
