The Large Millimeter Telescope


The Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), designed by MAN Technologie, is a 50-m diameter single-dish telescope optimized for astronomical observations at millimeter wavelengths (0.85 mm < λ < 4 mm). The LMT Project is a bi-national collaboration between México and the U.S.A. The institutions leading this effort are the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE) and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMass) respectively.



The Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) is under construction on the summit (at an altitude of 4,600 m or 15,000 ft) of the dormant volcano Sierra Negra, located within the National Park Pico de Orizaba in the Mexican state of Puebla, ~100 km east of the LMT Observatory at the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE). The proximity of Volcán Sierra Negra to the LMTO at INAOE (2 hours by road), and major Mexican cities and international airports (Puebla 85km - 2hours; Mexico City 250km - 4 hours) allows for good logistical support at the site from the LMTO staff at both INAOE and UMASS.

The LMT site (+18º 59' 06" N; 97º 18' 53" W) provides good access to both northern and southern hemisphere sources.
