Alto Chorrillo: otra alternativa para instalar una antena para ondas milimétricas y submilimétricas en Argentina
Abstract
We present preliminary data of atmospheric opacity at 210 GHz obtained between July 2009 and August 2010 at "Alto Chorrillo", a place near San Antonio de los Cobres, in the province of Salta at 4800 m above sea level. The data is compared with those obtained in the previous campaign con- ducted in Tolar Grande (also in Salta). Alto Chorrillo has a baseline larger than 130 km (E-W) regarding to ALMA, making it a good candidate to in- stall a radio astronomy facility that can operate in VLBI mode with ALMA.
