  15. OVRO Cedar Flat Juniper Flat

  16. CARMA Sensitivity Line: 1 km/sec Continuum Factor of 5 to 20 better

  17. Caltech COBRA correlator • FPGAs, not custom correlator chips • 4 GHz bandwidth • 256 20 Mhz channels • 6 station • For CARMA • Reprogram FPGAs • Spectral downconverters

  18. CARMA Correlators 8 antennas 8 GHz 256 channels 15 antennas 4 GHz 8 x 2– 500MHz tunable bands 64 – 512 channels

  19. Other CARMA Development • New LO/IF system  HEMT/SIS/MMIC • New computing system + reuse • Upgrade antenna drives, cryogenics, telemetry • Post first-light: single-dish, polarization, WVR

  20. Large bandwidth, high sensitivity

  21. Multiply-imaged SMM1-A2218 • CO (3-2) from z=2.5165 • All three lensed images seen • ∫Sco Dv ~ 5.4 Jy km/s (0.8, 3.1, 1.4) • Dv ~ 530 km/s • Unlensed CO mass ~ 6 x 109 M • No offset between optical and CO • SFR ~ 100-500 solar masses/yr • Could be a circumnuclear ring (velocity structure) ? • Witnessing a circumnuclear starburst w/ lifetime ~ 107 years? z=2.52 High resolution High sensitivity Sheth, Blain, Kneib & Frayer ‘04

  22. High resolutionHigh sensitivity 2km baselines – 0.12” @1mm

  23. Heterogeneous imaging, mosaics Horsehead 29 fields CO 1-0 Pound et al 2003

  24. Heterogeneous imaging, mosaics L1551 C18O 220 fields Swift 2004

  25. Heterogeneous imaging, mosaics L1551 13CO 220 fields Swift 2004

  26. M33 in Ha H: Cheng et al. (1993)

  27. BIMA M33 GMC Survey • CO 1-0 • 759 mosaic fields • 135 total hours • 10 minutes per field CO: Engargiola et al. (2003)

  28. GMCs in M33 • 148 GMCs • Complete to 1.5 x 105 Msun • Mass spectrum: dN/dMM-2.6 • Characteristic mass: 7 x 104 Msun • Nearly all HII regions near GMCs CO: Engargiola et al. (2003)

  29. Correlation with HI • In M33, GMCs form from HI with N(HI)>5x1020 cm-2 HI: Deul & van der Hulst (1987)

  36. Secular Evolution Early Barred Nuc (Mo pc-2) Early Unbarred Disk (Mo pc-2) Exclude inner ring galaxies

  37. Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect

  38. CARMA • Best array at 1 & 3 mm for resolution, sensitivity, fidelity, & bandwidth (until ALMA up to speed) • Northern hemisphere complement to ALMA (and Spitzer, SOFIA, JWST, etc) • Heterogeneous mosaics, surveys • Development (WVR, focal plane arrays) • Hands-on student & postdoc training • Building the mm-wave community
