The telescope team was able to get a court order to give up the board, and the ship was subsequently boarded and the captain arrested at gunpoint by the Coast Guard. [7] The telescope saw first light in 1987. The name for the final facility was changed to the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.
SASSy is one of the major "legacy surveys" on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. [6] It is the second-largest such legacy survey in terms of time on this telescope, and in terms of notional facility time is "worth" over £1 million. The project seeks to answer the following questions: Is there an undiscovered population of extreme luminosity ...
Four of the sixty-four total antennas of the ALMA radio telescope, at the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) West arm of the low-frequency Ukrainian T-shaped Radio telescope, second modification (UTR-2) radio telescope phased array antenna. This is a list of radio telescopes – over one hundred – that are or have been used for radio ...
The Submillimeter Array (SMA) consists of eight 6-meter (20 ft) diameter radio telescopes arranged as an interferometer for submillimeter wavelength observations. It is the first purpose-built submillimeter interferometer, constructed after successful interferometry experiments using the pre-existing 15-meter (49 ft) James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and 10.4-meter (34.1 ft) Caltech Submillimeter ...

The James Clerk Maxwell Monument in Edinburgh, by Alexander Stoddart. Commissioned by The Royal Society of Edinburgh; unveiled in 2008. The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, the largest submillimetre-wavelength astronomical telescope in the world, with a diameter of 15 metres (49 ft) [9]
The Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) was a 10.4-meter (34 ft) diameter submillimeter wavelength telescope situated alongside the 15-meter (49 ft) James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) at Mauna Kea Observatories. Beginning in 1986, it was engaged in submillimeter astronomy of the terahertz radiation band. The telescope closed on September ...
Following withdrawal of funding by the partner nations, on March 1, 2015, the Joint Astronomy Centre closed and the facility was handed over to the East Asian Observatory which now runs the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. [1] The major telescopes formerly operated by the JAC were: The United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) - 3.8m diameter.
