26 Antennas at AOS

On December 16, the fifth Japanese 7-m antenna was transported from the Operations Support Facility (OSF) at 2900 m asl to the Array Operations Site (AOS) at 5000 m asl. Currently the number of antennas at the AOS is 26.

The picture shows a panoramic view of the antenna construction area seen from its center. Since antenna configuration is slightly extended for scheduled observations, only 17 of 26 antennas are captured in the photo. [Photographed by Teruomi Tsuno (NAOJ)]
