The SPT collaboration at U. Chicago in June 2023
The South Pole Telescope collaboration currently uses the 3rd generation camera (SPT-3G). Our group at Illinois helped build the camera and works on analysis of SPT data.
The SPT SMG collaboration in July 2023 in Champaign, IL.
The SPT-SMG collaboration follows up the high-redshift dusty galaxies discovered by SPT with multiple telescopes to study their physical properties. We have published results from the follow-up of the 81 sources from the SPT-SZ survey source catalog using ATCA, ALMA, APEX, Herschel, Spitzer, HST and JWST. Currently, we are working on identifying high-redshift sources from the SPT-3G catalog.
The TIM collaboration sitting on the gondola outer frame at the University of Illinois Mission Integration Laboratory in February 2023.
TIM is a funded balloon-borne NASA mission (PI: J. Vieira) with a 2m primary mirror and a 240−420μm R~250 spectrometer. It has 7400 detectors (KIDs) for 63 x 2 spectral channels, and ~60 spatial channels which can detect [CII]158μm from 0.52 < z < 1.67. The anticipated launch for the TIM experiment is winter 2026. Its science goals include:
Spectroscopically measure the cosmic star formation via intensity mapping with the [CII] 158μm line from 0.52 < z < 1.67
Blindly detect ~100 galaxies via their [CII] emission
Perform a stacking analysis to study the [CII] emission of galaxies in the GOODS-S field
The TEMPLATES collaboration in Urbana, IL in July 2023.
JWST-TEMPLATES (Targeting Extremely Magnified Panchromatic Lensed Arcs and Their Extended Star formation) Early Release Science collaboration targeted four strongly lensed galaxies to study a common set of diagnostics among two Lyman break galaxies and two sub-millimeter galaxies. We completed observations in June 2023. The overview paper for our program describing our scientific and technical goals can be found here: arxiv link.

CMB-S4 Collaboration meeting in August 2024 at the University of Illinois's National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)
CMB-S4 is the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment. The ObsCos group at Illinois works on the design and science case for CMB-S4. You can find more information here: https://cmb-s4.org
