摘要
MUSTANG is a 90 GHz bolometer camera, built for use as a facility instrument on the 100 in Robert C. Byrd Green Bank radio telescope (GBT). MUSTANG has in 8 by 8 focal plane array of transition edge sensor bolometers read out using time-domain multiplexed SQUID electronics. As a, continuum instrument on a large single dish MUSTANG has a combination of high resolution (8 '') and good sensitivity to extended emission which make it very competitive for a wide range of galactic and extragalactic science. Commissioning finished in January 2008 and some of the first science data, have been collected.
