Simons Observatory EAC Meeting
November 30th & December 1, exact times TBA
Join organizers: David Spergel, Gregory Gabadadze, Suzanne T. Staggs
The Simons Observatory will be located in the high Atacama Desert in Northern Chile inside the Chajnantor Science Preserve.
At 5,200 meters (17,000 ft) the site hosts some of the highest telescopes in the world. The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Simons Array are currently making observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Their goals are to study how the universe began, what it is made of, and how it evolved to its current state. The Simons Observatory will add to these several new telescopes and new cameras with state of the art detector arrays. The result will set the stage for the next generation of CMB experiments
