at Submillimeter Wavelength,» by Lee et al. to appear in the journal Science Advances.
Orange image around the center shows the dusty envelope + disk
at submillimeter wavelength obtained with ALMA at 200 AU resolution.
Gravitational lensing is a powerful astrophysical and cosmological probe and is particularly valuable
at submillimeter wavelengths for the study of the statistical and individual properties of dusty star - forming galaxies.
«Only a few gravitationally lensed galaxies have been found before
at these submillimeter wavelengths, but now ALMA's found dozens of them.
Japanese participation will allow enhanced imaging and spectroscopy, especially
at submillimeter wavelengths.
With these high - precision components, ALMA will open up new possibility for observations with surprisingly high resolution
at submillimeter wavelengths, which will make a great contribution to the study of the formation of galaxies and planetary systems as well as the evolution of interstellar matters.
The new identification method is based on molecular line emission
at submillimeter wavelengths.
ALMA is attracting worldwide attention as the first telescope that allows polarization observations
at submillimeter wavelengths.

AzTEC - 3, which is located in the direction of the constellation Sextans, is what astronomers refer to as a
submillimeter galaxy, since it shines brightly in that portion of the spectrum, but is remarkably dim
at optical and infrared
wavelengths.
Their properties are still difficult to ascertain, however, because the combination of interference from dust and the low spatial resolution of
submillimeter telescopes prevents further study
at other
wavelengths.
ALMA will consist of 64 12 - meter - diameter dish antennas comprising a single imaging telescope to study the universe
at millimeter and
submillimeter wavelengths — the region between radio waves and infrared waves.
The telescope will observe the universe
at millimeter and
submillimeter wavelengths, between infrared light and radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
These are expected to have become rapidly enshrouded in the dust produced by the first stars; the dust absorbs much of the starlight making the galaxies difficult to see in the optical wavebands, but these same galaxies shine brightly
at millimeter and
submillimeter wavelengths.
This site provides the exceptionally dry atmospheric conditions necessary for astronomical observations
at millimeter and
submillimeter wavelengths (

This talk will highlight the effort to characterize stellar atmospheres through a project known as MESAS (Measuring the Emission of Stellar Atmospheres
at Submillimeter / millimeter
wavelengths) which is imperative to the success of current and future debris disk studies.
The SPT is designed to conduct low - noise, high - resolution surveys of the sky
at millimeter (mm) and
submillimeter (submm)
wavelengths, with the particular design goal of making ultra-sensitive measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
There are few millimeter /
submillimeter receiver products commercially available because radio reception and transmission

Therefore, the research group targeted molecular line emissions from hydrogen cyanide (HCN), formyl ion (HCO +), and hydrogen sulfide (CS)
at millimeter /
submillimeter wavelengths (* 4) in the galaxy called NGC 1097 (about 50 million light years away) with the ALMA Telescope in the Atacama Desert in Chile.
That altitude is above the primary part of the atmosphere that blocks infrared light, which means the telescope can observe
at wavelengths longer than the ones we see in our Disk Detective WISE data, but shorter than the
submillimeter wavelengths we've observed
at with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.
The goal of the research group is to establish a new exploration method using as reference various molecular / atomic emission lines which can be observed
