editHello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20050212084259/http://cfa-www.harvard.edu:80/~adair/AST_RO/ to http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~adair/AST_RO/
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}
).

editI cut and paste the People section from the article below. We don't typically include some of this information in Wikipedia (like addresses), and it doesn't include any sources. Leaving it here to make it easy to reintroduce parts of it if sources are added. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:30, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

AST/RO resulted from a successful proposal to the NSF Office of Polar programs by A. A. Stark, J. Bally, and R. W. Wilson of AT&T Bell Laboratories, T. M. Bania and A. P. Lane of Boston University, and K.-Y. Lo of the University of Illinois. Dr. Antony A. Stark served as the Principal Investigator (PI) and Dr. Adair P. Lane was the Project Manager (PM). Both were based at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MD 02138, USA. Senior team members included 1978 Nobel Laureate R. W. Wilson (AT&T Bell Laboratories, Crawford Hill, Holmdel, NJ07733, USA), Prof. Christopher W. Walker (Steward Observatory, 933 N. Cherry Ave., University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA), Dr Kwok-Yung, (Fred) Lo (University of Illinois, 1002 W. Green St., Urbana, IL61801, USA), Prof Thomas M. Bania (Boston University, 725 Commonwealth Ave., Boston MA 02215, USA), Prof James M. Jackson (Boston University, 725 Commonwealth Ave., Boston MA 02215, USA), Dr Gregory A. Wright (AT&T Bell Laboratories, Crawford Hill, Holmdel, NJ07733, USA), Dr Sunguen Kim (SAO), and Prof John Bally (AT&T Bell Laboratories, Crawford Hill, Holmdel, NJ07733, USA). The Amundsen-Scott South Pole station is only accessible by air from about late October to early February. During this Austral summer season, AST/RO members carried out carefully planned installation and maintenance tasks typically in groups of 2 to 6 people with individual members spending anything from 2 weeks to the entire Austral summer at the Pole. Maintenance of and observations with AST/RO during the rest of the year was carried out by a Winter-over Scientist. Regular activities included carrying out scheduled observations with routine pointing and calibration. Winterovers also regularly refilled the liquid helium dewars and tuned the receivers as needed. During some winters, they carried out repairs in consultation with experts off the ice. AST/RO Winterover scientists were:
Students played a vital role in the development and operations of AST/RO and many of these students have gone on to become very accomplished scientists. |
