Abstract

The Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano (LMT) is a 50-m diameter single-dish radio-telescope designed, constructed, and optimized to conduct scientific observations and to enable its user communities to analyze their science products. This paper describes the goals and objectives of the LMT’s science operation program and provides an overview of the life cycle of its science projects, including: (1) organization and activities of the user support staff; (2) review of scientific proposals; (3) operation of the telescope as a queue-scheduled, service observing facility; (4) pipeline reduction and data quality checks; and (5) initiation and maintenance of a scientific archive.
