In calculating the amount of material based on
the submillimeter emission strength, the temperature of the material is an important parameter.
Submillimeter emissions are typically produced by carbon and water molecules in distant galaxies and star - forming regions.

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.
Using the new Atacama Large Millimeter /
submillimeter Array, a team led by Peter Williams discovered an
emission frequency of 95 GHz.
The new identification method is based on molecular line
emission at
submillimeter wavelengths.
Although the
emission frequency of the more distant objects becomes lower due to the expansion of the universe, the ALMA Telescope is designed to receive millimeter waves in a frequency range lower than
submillimeter waves observed this time, which means this identification method can be applied to objects even 10 billion light years away and will be a competent observation method in the ALMA Era when there will be a dramatic advancement in the research of distant galaxies.
Submillimeter spectra at the
emission peak observed with ALMA.
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 at millimeter /
submillimeter wavelengths (* 3).
