Southern Hemisphere Long Baseline Array
The Southern Hemisphere Long Baseline Array, operated by Australia's National Science Agency, is a partnership project involving various institutions. It facilitates high-precision astronomical observations using advanced technology and supercomputing capabilities. With a focus on enhancing its capabilities, the array offers open calls for research proposals and telescope time access. The array's correlator at Pawsey Magnus contributes significantly to its imaging performance and data processing efficiency, positioning it among the global top supercomputers.

A 6m Telescope for the South Pole: a Status Report Florence CMB Coordination Meeting, 2018 Joe Mohr <joseph.mohr@physic.lmu.de> MPE- Garching LMU- Munich
Concept Contribute next generation 6m wide field survey telescope to the SPT Collaboration 5m diameter / 100 deg2 FOV 136k F pixels at 150GHz Seek German DFG funding at 12MEUR level for new telescope in return for broadened German participation in SPT Padin, 2018 Applied Optics Further CMB-S4 through near term prototyping and (ideally) with ready- made LAT at South Pole 20. Sep 2018 Florence CMB Coordination Mtg - Mohr 2
Motivations Structure formation science with SZE and CMB lensing Galaxy cluster physics Feedback and impact on matter power spectrum Galaxy cluster cosmology SPT surveys + auxiliary data already rich resource Scientific advances in cosmology, cluster studies, dusty galaxy and AGN studies Multi- sky surveys will provide new science leverage MeerKAT SPT 20. Sep 2018 Florence CMB Coordination Mtg - Mohr 3
Funding Status DFG interested in concept, but broad participation needed Currently Astrophysics/Cosmology Chairs at six German universities have expressed interest/support LMU-Munich, Heidelberg, Bonn, Aachen, Hamburg and Bielefeld Interest also within MPG (MPA and MPIfR), raising possibility of cost sharing between DFG and MPG With go-ahead from DFG we expect to submit a proposal this fall 20. Sep 2018 Florence CMB Coordination Mtg - Mohr 4
European Coordination and CMB-S4 Collaboration on populating the focal plane an obvious possibility Implications for low frequency LAT surveys? See talks by Jos -Alberto Rubi o Martin and Angela Taylor tomorrow Flesh out design/construction/operations details on a monolithic mirror, wide field concept that offers advantages for polarization studies 20. Sep 2018 Florence CMB Coordination Mtg - Mohr 5
