4.5/5
★
based on 8 reviews
The Large Millimeter Telescope (or Gran Telescopio Milimétrico Alfonso Serrano) is the world´s largest single-dish steerable millimetre-wavelength telescope designed specifically for astronomical observations in the wavelength range of 0.85 – 4mm. This binational project between México and the United States of America represents the largest and most complex scientific instrument constructed in México. Situated on the summit of Volcán Sierra Negra at an altitude of 4600 meters, the LMT has begun its exploration of the physical processes that lead to the formation and evolution of planetary systems, stars, black-holes and galaxies thoughout the 13.7 billion year history of the Universe.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ El Gran Telescopio Milimétrico Alfonso Serrano es el telescopio de plato único y movible más grande del mundo, diseñado para hacer observaciones astronómicas en longitudes de onda de 0.85-4mm. Estudia emisiones de radio emitidas por antiguas galaxias, nebulosas y discos protoplanetarios.
Permite estudiar la formación de las primeras estrellas que hay en el Universo, la formación de las estrellas dentro de nuestra galaxia, y por último la formación de los planetas, y la síntesis de moléculas complejas que dan a la formación de la vida.
Está situado sobre la cima del volcán Tiltiktepetl mejor conocido como La Sierra Negra. Recientemente ha iniciado la exploración de la formación y evolución de sistemas planetarios, galaxias, estrellas e incluso hoyos negros.
Actualmente forma parte la red de telescopios dedicados al estudio de los agujeros negros pero sobre todo, investigan los indicios de un agujero negro “supermasivo“ en el centro de la galaxia, con una masa equivalente a seis millones de veces la de nuestro Sol.
Debido a la contingencia sanitaria por Covid 19, sus actividades están suspendidas, sin embargo la comunidad científica sigue trabajando de manera virtual.

It is located on the top of the Tiltiktepetl volcano, better known as La Sierra Negra. It has recently begun exploring the formation and evolution of planetary systems, galaxies, stars, and even black holes.
It is currently part of the network of telescopes dedicated to the study of black holes, but above all, they investigate the signs of a "supermassive" black hole in the center of the galaxy, with a mass equivalent to six million times that of our Sun.
Due to the health contingency by Covid 19, its activities are suspended, however the scientific community continues to work virtually.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Large Millimeter Telescope is the world's largest single-aperture telescope (diameter = 50m), observing galactical wave lengths from 0.85 to 4 mm (75-350GHz). It is located at an altitude of 4850 meters on top of the Sierra Negra, Mexico and is a binational (Mexican 80% - American 20%) joint project of the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Optica y Electronica (INAOE) and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The mission of the LMT is:
1) pursuing pioneering research,
2) train the future generations of scientists and engineers and
3) develop new technology for the benefit of society.
The LMT studies objects, which are thermally cold like cosmic microwave background, molecular clouds, protoplanetary discs, star forming regions, comets, planets,
