The Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME) CII Imaging Spectrometer

Abstract

The Tomographic Ionized-Carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME) and TIME-Pilot are proposed imaging spectrometers to measure reionization and large scale structure at redshifts 5–9. We seek to exploit the 158 μm restframe emission of [CII], which becomes measurable at 200–300 GHz at reionization redshifts. Here we describe the scientific motivation, give an overview of the proposed instrument, and highlight key technological developments underway to enable these measurements.
