The "New" IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer
With the track extension completed in 2005 and the New Generation Receivers, which were successfully installed at the end of 2006, the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer offers entirely new possibilities in terms of angular resolution and sensitivities. This talk will present the main characteristics of the 'new' Plateau de Bure interferometer and illustrate its renewed possibilities on the basis of a number of recent results spanning the range from galactic star forming regions to the most distant known black holes. Plans for future extensions at IRAM will be briefly presented.
