Submillimeter Array

(SMA)
(radio interferometer in Hawaii)

The Submillimeter Array (SMA) is a radio interferometer at the Mauna Kea Observatories in Hawaii, consisting of eight 6-meter dishes with baselines up to 509 meters. It began operation in 2003. In addition to its own interferometry observations, it has also collaborated with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) and James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT).
