The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST): enabling large-scale sub-mm science beyond 2030

Claudia Cicone, Tony Mroczkowski, Evanthia Hatziminaoglou +38

AtLAST is designed to be the largest (sub-)mm single-dish astronomical observatory and the first climate-neutral modern research infrastructure. It offers a unique combination of l…

Optimizing Wavefront-Deformation Sensor Placement for Active Radio-Telescope Surfaces

Stefan Thoms, Martin Timpe, Matthias Reichert

Next-generation high-frequency radio telescopes require primary-surface accuracies that passive structures alone cannot reliably achieve. The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter T…

The Optical Design Concept for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST)

Patricio A. Gallardo, Roberto Puddu, Tony Mroczkowski +6

The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) aims to be the premier next generation large diameter (50-meter) single dish observatory capable of observations across…

Simulation-based dynamic pointing analysis of AtLAST under wind loading and fast-scan conditions

Aleksej Kiselev, Martin Timpe, Matthias Reichert +2

The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) is a next-generation 50-m class single-dish facility concept designed for high-throughput, wide-field mapping at millime…

The conceptual design of the 50-meter Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST)

Tony Mroczkowski, Patricio A. Gallardo, Martin Timpe +23

The (sub)millimeter sky contains a vast wealth of information that is both complementary and inaccessible to other wavelengths. Over half the light we receive is observable at (sub…
