Cosmology Large Angular Scale Survey
(CLASS)
(telescope array and survey mapping CMB polarization)
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS)
is an array of four microwave telescopes in Chile
on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert
at an altitude of 5200 meters, surveying CMB polarization.
Another use of the acronym CLASS is for Cosmic Lens All-sky Survey,
a 1990s/2000s radio survey aimed at gravitational lensing.
