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.
«Only a few gravitationally lensed galaxies have been found before at
these submillimeter wavelengths, but now ALMA's found dozens of them.
This site provides the exceptionally dry atmospheric conditions necessary for astronomical observations at millimeter and

submillimeter wavelengths.
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.

submillimeter wavelengths.

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.
The new identification method is based on molecular line emission at
submillimeter wavelengths.
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 at millimeter /

ALMA is attracting worldwide attention as the first telescope that allows polarization observations at
submillimeter wavelengths.
Finally, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) proposed the construction of a Large Millimeter / Submillimeter Array (LMSA), which considered the same amount of antennas as ESO, but with a 10 - meter diameter, and unlike the others, it also planned to receive
submillimeter wavelengths.
