In fairness to Poland, their "ketchup" is more like pizza sauce (and isn't disgusting like ketchup).

AtLAST Forum - March 2025 - AtLAST Welcome to the AtLAST Forum, a platform for the community to exchange ideas and opinions about the AtLAST project and anything related to it.

The next AtLAST forum is planned for this coming Thursday March 6th at 14 UTC. Talks: 1) telescope design, 2) the science shaping the design, followed by an open discussion. For details and zoom link check www.atlast.uio.no/news-and-eve...

NSF downsizes summer research program for undergraduates Many participants are from groups underrepresented in science

The physics REU program at Duke has been canceled this year. It was one of two programs in the country that enabled students to do research at CERN.

Astronomers Propose a 50-Meter Submillimeter Telescope AtLAST is the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope. Astronomers hope work can start on this new observatory later this decade.

Almost a year later, I found that AtLAST was mentioned in 2 news stories shortly after we posted the design paper:

Fake lines in your ALMA data? Unsure about the statistics? Try jackknify (pypi.org/project/jack...)!

An amazing piece of work led by (my brother in science) Joshiwa van Marrewijk and Thomas Morris.

Are you building a single-dish telescope (not not talking about you, @atlastdesign.bsky.social) and want to test for mapping and filtering strategies, atmospheric mitigation, etc?

Just ask maria.

In this new paper led by Joshiwa van Marrewijk we demonstrated that AtLAST’s 50m-diameter provides the highest levels of correlation of atmospheric signals across adjacent detectors compared to smaller apertures: AtLAST will be great at removing submm atmospheric signal on large scales πŸ”­

Being cool, the Spiderweb way πŸ•ΈοΈ

Marika Lepore led a re-analysis of the central region of the Spiderweb protocluster at z=2.16, combining Chandra X-ray and ALMA SZ data. And we find evidence for a strongly cooling core.
