The name for the final facility was changed to the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The telescope itself was operated by the Joint Astronomy Centre (JAC), from Hilo, Hawaii. From 1987 until March 2013 the telescope was funded by a partnership of the United Kingdom (55 per cent), Canada (25 per cent), and the Netherlands (20 per cent). In 2013 the ...

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 ...
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.
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 ...
Tha SFR would be as high as a thousand solar masses/yr. Toba and colleagues have used facilities at Seimei Telescope, and at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) for this study. [ 1 ] References
