Research Abstract

Wide field millilmeter-wave observations were performed using AzTEC bolometer array on submillimeter-wave telescope ASTE. Survey of galaxy cluster fields and south ecliptic pole regions were performed. Results include a finding of highly gravitationally lensed submillimeter galaxy toward Bullet Cluster, imaging of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects and numerous number of galaxies toward South ecliptic pole region which gives new understandings of formation and evolution of submillimeter-wave galaxies. Submillimeter-wave imaging array SISCAM has been refurbished for observations.
