Abstract (from CDS):

We report the system description and results of the commissioning and science verification (CSV) of the Band 10 (787-950 GHz) heterodyne receiver for ASTE (Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment), a 10 m submillimeter telescope at the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) site in Chile. The new ASTE Band 10 receiver cartridge was refurbished from a prototype ALMA Band 10 receiver with SIS mixers employing high critical current density junctions. We installed the new receiver on ASTE and carried out its CSV. The best double-sideband (DSB) system noise temperature achieved on ASTE toward the zenith was ∼1500 K (PWV ∼ 0.5 mm). As a part of CSV activities, we performed science verification observations to demonstrate ASTE Band 10 capabilities to the community. Wide-field images were successfully obtained toward the well-studied OMC-1 region with both [C I](3P2-3P1) and 12CO(J = 7-6) lines. In addition, we partially carried out observations toward a super star cluster RCW 38, [C I](3P1-3P0), images of which were already obtained by ASTE. We demonstrated the capability of ASTE Band 10 observations toward bright and extended objects like giant molecular clouds.
