This grant will enable the addition of three new millimeter wave                antennas to the BIMA array, bringing the total number of antennas               from six to nine.  The increase to nine will provide substantial                increases in speed and sensitivity, permitting a much greater                   range of scientific problems to be addressed by BIMA scientists                 and visitors.  A single day's observing will yield maps with as                 many as 800 independent pixels.  The speed is essential for                     studying time varying phenomena, such as comets, solar flares,                  and interstellar masers.  The added sensitivity will allow, for                 example, molecular line mapping in distant galaxies.  The initial               array configuration will allow observations at 70-90 GHz, 90-116                GHz, and 210-270 GHz with an IF bandwidth of 830 MHz and a                      spectral line correlator that covers 800 MHz, nearly the whole IF               band.  The system will have excellent sensitivity for both line                 and continuum, with an effective sensitivity that is comparable                 to the major single millimeter antennas in the world.  The                      schedule for construction will bring the full nine element array                into operation in the spring of 1992.
