We have measured the 2 dimensional (2D) power spectrum of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey on scales between 30 and 200 Mpc (q_0=0.5, H_o=100h km sec^{-1} Mpc^{-1}). Such an analysis is more sensitive to structure on scales > 50 Mpc than a…

The White Mountain Polarimeter (WMPol) is a dedicated ground-based microwave telescope and receiver system for observing polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. WMPol is located at an altitude of 3880 meters on a plateau in the…

Implementation of cool roofs is a high-impact pathway for mitigating heat at both global and city scales. However, while albedo estimates derived from Sentinel-2 are free and globally-available, the 10 m resolution is insufficient to…

The Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project is an unbiased Galactic plane CO survey for mapping regions of l=-10deg to +250deg and |b|<5.2deg with the 13.7 m telescope of the Purple Mountain Observatory. The legacy survey aims to…
