TolTEC: unveiling the hidden universe.
Abstract
We briefly describe the new continuum camera TolTEC and its scientific potential once it is installed on the 50m Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). TolTEC will substitute the highly successful 1.1mm AzTEC camera, and will have multiband and polarimetric capabilities with the superb sensitivity provided by the set of detectors based on Kinetic Inductance technologies. TolTEC will be able to survey the skies at unprecedented depths and speeds in a number of astrophysical scenarios.
