Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope 1529036 143525087 2007-07-09T16:26:14Z Dr. Submillimeter 1652275 Changed category The '''Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope''' CAT was a three-element [[interferometer]] for [[cosmic microwave background radiation]] (CMB/R) observations at 13 to 17 [[Hertz|GHz]], based at the [[Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory]]. In [[1995]], it was the first instrument to measure small-scale structure in the cosmic [[microwave]] background. When the more sensitive [[Very Small Array]] came online, the CAT telescope was decommissioned in a ceremonial [[bonfire]]. == External links == * [http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/telescopes/cat/ Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope (CAT) online] * [http://ukads.nottingham.ac.uk/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1996ApJ...461L...1S&db_key=AST&high=41986efaf711058 The first detection of small-scale structure] in the cosmic microwave background * [http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/telescopes/cat/press_release.html Press release from 1995 describing first measurements of small-scale structure in the cosmic microwave background] * [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Cambridge&ll=52.165135,0.037379&spn=0.005643,0.007811&t=k&hl=en The CAT enclosure] on [[Google Maps]] {{observatory-stub}} {{CMB experiments}} [[Category:Cavendish Laboratory]] [[Category:Radio telescopes]] [[Category:Interferometric telescopes]]
