The Kölner Observatorium für SubMillimeter Astronomie (KOSMA) was a radio telescope for submillimeter astronomy located at 3,135 m (10,285 ft) on Gornergrat near Zermatt (Switzerland). It was operated by I. Physikalisches Institut, University of Cologne, and Radioastronomisches Institut, University of Bonn. The telescope had a primary diameter of 3 m (9.8 ft), and a secondary diameter of 0.27 metres (0.89 ft). It was equipped with heterodyne receivers covering 210 to 820 GHz, corresponding to wavelengths between 0.35 and 1.4 mm, for observations of lines from the interstellar medium.

  • Das Kölner Observatorium für Submillimeter Astronomie (KOSMA) war ein auf dem Gornergrat bei Zermatt in der Schweiz aufgebautes Radioteleskop, das durch das 1. Physikalische Institut der Universität zu Köln im Jahre 1985 aufgebaut wurde. Durch die exponierte Lage (3135 m ü. M.) beeinflussten nur wenige atmosphärische Störungen die Forschungsarbeit. Mit dem 3-Meter-Parabolspiegel und den empfindlichen Spektrometern wurden interstellare Molekularverbindungen im Submillimeter-Bereich nachgewiesen. Das KOSMA wurde sowohl durch die Universität zu Köln als auch durch das Argelander-Institut für Astronomie der Universität Bonn betrieben. Im Jahre 1996 wurde der Spiegel komplett erneuert. Das CCOSMA Teleskop wurde in Yangbajain in Damxung, Tibet, in 4300 m Höhe neu aufgebaut. Anfang 2011 ging es am neuen Standort in Betrieb. (de)

It was equipped with heterodyne receivers covering 210 to 820 GHz, corresponding to wavelengths between 0.35 and 1.4 mm, for observations of lines from the interstellar medium. Because of the good climatic conditions at the altitude of 3135 m (10285 ft), astronomical observatories have been located in both towers of the Kulmhotel at Gornergrat since 1967. In 1985, the KOSMA telescope was installed in the southern tower by the Universität zu Köln and, in the course of 1995, replaced by a new dish and mount. In the northern tower, a 1.5 m infrared telescope was operated until 2005 by an Italian association of universities (TIRGO). In 2010, the telescope was moved to a site in Yangbajain in Damxung County in Tibet at an altitude of 4300m and renamed CCOSMA. (en)
