New paper from Joshiwa van Marrewijk on the observation simulator for AtLAST bolometer cameras and GBT/MUSTANG-2: arxiv.org/abs/2402.10731

The #AtLAST design paper is out today. This is the result of almost 4 years of work by Tony Mroczkowski , the team of engineers at OHB DC, Richard Hills, 📡Patricio Gallardo and the rest of the AtLAST team helping along the way arxiv.org/abs/2402.18645

AtLAST is a beauty ..

And here is what AtLAST will do for nearby galaxies! arxiv.org/abs/2403.01202 The very large field of view, high resolution, and sensitivity to extended diffuse emission will be truly transformational, e.g. for the study of our nearest galactic neighbours Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope

And then there were 7: arxiv.org/abs/2403.00909 arxiv.org/abs/2403.00917 arxiv.org/abs/2403.00920 arxiv.org/abs/2403.00924 arxiv.org/abs/2403.01202 arxiv.org/abs/2403.02258 arxiv.org/abs/2403.02806

New #SPIEastro paper out: A physical optics characterization of the beam shape and sidelobe levels for AtLAST, by Roberto Puddu 📡Patricio Gallardo Tony Mroczkowski and the rest of the telescope design team arxiv.org/abs/2406.16602

Tony Mroczkowski kicks off the session presenting the #AtLAST telescope design: the combination of large diameter and field of view is unique for a submillimeter telescope

Yvette Perrott at #EAS2024Padova high frequency bands > 500 GHz are essential to study and distinguish the relativist SZ effect

Luca Di Mascolo: going beyond the “blobology” SZ science and probing the SZ from individual galaxy haloes and from the hot CGM requires #AtLAST because of its high resolution, wide band coverage, large FoV and extreme sensitivity #EAS2024Padova

We just received the news that the #EU has approved our new grant proposal for the post-design study phase of #AtLAST 🍾🥳 We are extremely excited for the next phase! It’s amazing to receive this news while many of us are meeting at the #EAS2024Padova

A few seconds after Tony Mroczkowski Claudia and @spoppi received the big AtLAST news while at the #EAS2024Padova 🍾

What is happening? the AtLAST phase II design study was selected for funding by the European Commission; that's what's happening!

Over the past years, a team of ~100 astronomers from around the world worked to hone the science cases for #AtLAST.  The result is a compendium of eight white papers and an overview report. Read more about them and find all the relevant links here: atlast.uio.no/news-and-event…

#AtLAST is the top long-term priority in the 2024 UK submm & mm roadmap arxiv.org/pdf/2408.12975: "AtLAST(..) was considered important by 92% of survey respondents. Concerted efforts need to be made over the next 5 years to ensure that AtLAST is funded and built"
