John Carlstrom is the Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar Distinguished Service Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Physics at UChicago and the project scientist for CMB-S4.
To this end, the CMB-S4 will build incredibly complex instruments to map the first light of the Universe from spacecraft and the ground. The array will include two new telescopes in the Chilean Atacama Plateau and nine smaller ones at the NSF’s South Pole Station . The project will also rely on the South Pole Telescope, which has been operational at the SPS since 2007.
