(microwave interferometer in Hawaii)
The Yuan-Tseh Lee Array
(YTLA or Yuan-Tseh Lee Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy,
originally called AMiBA for
Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy)
is a compact radio/microwaveinterferometer on Mauna
Loa in Hawaii, for studying CMB anisotropies, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in
particular. It began operation in 2006 with 7 closely-grouped dishes and
after the first round of observation, was rebuilt with 13.
By design, its observations were within the longer-wavelength
tail of the CMB spectrum.
Since completion of its CMB mapping, after some adaptation, it has
been used for AIM-CO, line intensity mapping of redshiftedCOlines.
