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.
A research team led by Bunyo Hatsukade, a postdoc researcher, and Kouji Ohta, a professor, both from the Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, revealed that approximately 80 % of the unidentifiable millimeter
wave signals from the universe is actually emitted from galaxies, based on the
observations with ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter /
submillimeter Array).
In past
observations, gigantic galaxies deeply covered in dust, where several hundreds to thousands of stars are actively forming per year, have been detected with millimeter /
submillimeter waves.
«In addition to high sensitivity and fidelity, high resolution
submillimeter -
wave observation is essential to our study, which ALMA made possible for the first time.
ALMA
observations cover a range of wavelengths called «millimeter /
submillimeter»
waves.
