UoC (through the group of Prof. Dominik Riechers) and UB (through the groups of Profs. Frank Bertoldi and Frank Bigiel), together with the cosmology group let by Prof. Komatsu at the Max- Planck-Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) in Garching, are the German CCAT Consortium partners and support the CCAT observatory costs from a DFG Large-scale instrumentation grant and their central resources (www.ccatobservatory.org). The German Consortium currently contributes a 25% share, and one of the two first light instruments, CHAI, which will result in substantial guaranteed time observations. Thus, FYST/CCAT will contribute to ARC1 (the core observational program GeCO will be led by UoC) and ARC3 (studies of the epoch of reionisation will be co-led by UoC and UB partners).
