Projects

ACSIS

The Auto-Correlation Spectrometer and Imaging System is an autocorrelator to be operated with sub-mm and mm-wave heterodyne arrays being built for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii

ALMA

The Atacama Large Millimetre Array will be an array of 64 radio antennas that will work together as one telescope to study millimetre- and submillimetre-wavelength light from space.

Altair

Altitude conjugate adaptive optics for the infrared – an adaptive optics system for the 8-m Gemini telescope.

CFHTLS-VW

The Canadian and French astronomical communities are conducting a major astronomical survey with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) MegaPrime camera.

CGPS

The Canadian Galactic Plane Survey is aimed at improving our understanding of the constituents and processes of the interstellar medium (ISM) in our Galaxy by assembling wide-field images of unprecedented detail.

EVLA Correlator

EVLA Correlator – NRC-HIA is building a correlator for the EVLA that will employ Wideband Interferometric Digital ARchitecture (WIDAR), a novel process invented by two of our researchers.

FILAO

Fibre Link between Adaptive Optic bonnette and OSIS – The optical fibre link between PUEO and OSIS on CFHT

GMOS

Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph – GMOS is a multi-object spectrograph for the Gemini 8-m telescopes

LAR

Large Adaptive Reflector – A concept for a fully steerable 200 to 300-metre telescope, with a sensor suspended 500 metres in the air from a helium balloon.

MegaPrime

MegaPrime is a new prime-focus instrument recently built for CFHT.

PUEO

PUEO is an adaptive optics system built for CFHT.

Space VLBI

Development of a Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry correlator

VLOT

The Very Large Optical Telescope is a proposed 20-m optical telescope to replace CFHT.
