Abstract

We summarize the technical specifications of TIME, the Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment, which is designed to probe the structure and evolution of the universe by using line intensity mapping to measure carbon monoxide (CO) and ionized carbon ([C ii]) with a mm-wavelength grating spectrometer. We present detector count, spectral coverage and resolution, and give an update on the current status of the project. TIME was installed at the Arizona Radio Observatory 12 m telescope in 2019 and returned for further engineering, commissioning, and observing in 2022. Data taken during the 2022 season demonstrate the ability of TIME to compensate for field rotation through the use of a K-mirror system, as well as spectro-imaging functionality broadly in line with expectations given the current state of the instrument. TIME will return to ARO for science observations for the Winter 2024 season. We discuss hardware and software updates and preliminary data analysis in preparation for science scans.
