Abstract

The TolTEC camera is a next generation three-band imaging polarimeter for the Large Millimeter Telescope. With 7514 lumped element kinetic inductance detectors across three simultaneously observing passbands at 1.1 mm, 1.4 mm, and 2.0 mm, TolTEC has diffraction-limited beams with FWHM of 5, 7, and 11 arcsec, respectively. Herein, we cover a brief overview of the instrument along with the first quantitative measures of TolTEC’s performance at the LMT. We also provide initial reductions of commissioning targets - demonstrating TolTEC's ability to detect both faint and extended structures over a wide dynamic range of flux and angular scales.
