Astronomy (Carma), which was created through the merger of two university-based millimeter arrays: the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) millimeter array and the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA) millimeter array. The new instrument offers unparalleled sensitivity, broad frequency coverage, subarcsecond resolution, and wide-fined heterogeneous imaging capabilities for the radio astronomy community. Fifteen antennas are all pointed at the same object, and cross-power spectrum calculation measures the component of antenna signals that is common (from the radio source). Magnitude of the cross-spectrum indicates source strength, and phase provides information on the source distribution. Measurements on a source are gathered for the time the source is visible and written to a database. The image of a radio source is then produced by processing the data from the observing day. A correlator measures the cross-power spectrum of the radio source, and, in the wide-bandwidth operation mode, the correlator processes the full receiver output. The data is processed to yield 128 images of the source at different frequencies. Xeon 3.6GHz processes running the Centos 4.1 Linux 2.6 distribution off local disks are used for the control system computers. Correlator control software uses the open source ACE C++ library, and, in the Carma control system, a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) object is created to perform as a client server.
