Jump directly to group's own web page.
Summary
White Dish is one of the
instruments in CARA that study the cosmic
microwave background radiation (CMBR). It was at the Pole
from 1991-1993.
White Dish was a 1.4-meter telescope which measured anisotropies in the
CMBR.
White Dish used a single-mode waveguide composite bolometer from
75-105 GHz.
Results
White Dish was the first of several telescopes built by the
Peterson group at Carnegie Mellon University.
