Notes

It is 20 years since SHARC began operation at the CSO in 1995. CRUSH pays tribute to this pioneering 24-pixel camera with support since 2014. Beyond the nostalgia aspect, the new module is also a demonstration of CRUSH's ability to reduce multibeam maps, with an improved implementation of the Emerson II (a.k.a. Emerson 1995) deconvolution algorithm. This means that the poorly sampled spatial frequencies of the chop can be filled as scans with different sky rotation, or with different chopper throws, are reduced together.
