The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a ten-meter diameter telescope operating at the National Science Foundation South Pole research station (image above by Daniel Luong-Van). The telescope is designed to conduct large-area millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength surveys of faint, low-contrast emission, as required to map primary and secondary ...

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-metre (390 in) diameter telescope located at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica. The telescope is designed for observations in the microwave, millimeter-wave, and submillimeter-wave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, with the particular design goal of measuring the faint, diffuse ...

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-meter diameter microwave / millimeter / sub-millimeter wavelength telescope located at the NSF Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, which is the best currently operational site on Earth for mm-wave survey observations due to …

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a new 10-meter telescope at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole research station. Taking advantage of the exceptionally clear, dry, and stable atmosphere at the South Pole, the SPT will map large areas of the sky with high sensitivity at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths.

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-meter-diameter telescope located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica. In addition to its primary mission of measuring the cosmic microwave background, the SPT is part of the Event Horizon Telescope project.

2021年10月7日 · Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica. With a 10-meter primary mirror, the South Pole Telescope is the largest millimeter-wave telescope dedicated to observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and can produce large-scale CMB maps at …

2023年11月8日 · When Artemis astronauts land on the Moon, they’ll travel to sites never before visited by humans. Namely, they’ll explore the South Pole region, home to the Moon’s largest crater, areas of near-constant light and deep shadows, and some of the coldest temperatures in the solar system.

Located at the NSF Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, the SPT is at the optimal operational site for millimeter wave survey observations due to its stable, dry atmosphere. This unique location allows the SPT to play a critical role in assisting the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in its pursuit to image the event horizon around the black hole at ...

The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-meter telescope operating at the National Science Foundation's South Pole research station. Designed for conducting large-area millimeter and sub-millimeter wave surveys to map primary and secondary anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background, SPT is the largest telescope ever deployed at the South Pole.

These desert-like conditions make the South Pole a great site for a millimeter/sub-millimeter telescope. The South Pole's unique position on the globe makes it an even more extraordinary site for this telescope. During the winter, sunshine does not reach the South Pole; nighttime (or daytime in the summer) extends for months.
