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 ...
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.
James Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish physicist and mathematician [1] who was responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, which was the first theory to describe electricity, magnetism and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon.
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]
It is named in honour of James Clerk Maxwell. The first medal was awarded in 1962 to Abdus Salam. Past recipients include subsequent Nobel Prize in Physics laureates (Abdus Salam, David Thouless, Anthony James Leggett, John Michael Kosterlitz) and Lucasian Professors of Mathematics (Stephen Hawking, Michael Green, and Michael Cates).
