Abstract
We present the on-sky commissioning and science verification of DESHIMA 2.0: the first science-grade integrated superconducting spectrometer (ISS) for ultra-wideband mm-submm spectroscopy. With an instantaneous band coverage of 205-392 GHz at a spectral resolution of F/dF = 500, DESHIMA 2.0 will be applied to emission line surveys and redshift measurement of dusty star-forming galaxies, spectroscopic Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect observations of galaxy-clusters, and other new science cases that utilize its ultra-wide bandwidth. Compared to its predecessor (DESHIMA 1.0), DESHIMA 2.0’s superconducting filterbank chip with a x4 higher optical efficiency, x4 wider instantaneous bandwidth, x20 faster position switching on the sky, and a remotely-controlled optics alignment system. DESHIMA 2.0 is currently installed on the ASTE 10-m telescope at 4860 m altitude with excellent sky transmission, and is being commissioned for science operation. In the conference we will report the on-sky performance and latest results in the science-verification campaign at ASTE.
