Pozvánka na pravidelný seminář AsÚ AV ČR

který se koná v pondělí dne
2. prosince 2002
 

v nové seminární místnosti AsÚ v Ondřejově
(budova starého výpočetního střediska)
 

PROGRAM:

13.00 odborná část

14.00 přestávka/káva
14.20 obecná část - informace z vedení ústavu

V odborné části vyslechneme informace z oddělení Dynamické astronomie, a to:

1. Novinky z oddělení (RNDr. Miloš Šidlichovský, DrSc.)

2. Toward the sub-mm astronomy in the southern sky: from NANTEN to ALMA

Yasuo Fukui
University of Nagoya, Japan

I will discuss the future prospects of the sub-mm astronomy opened with ALMA. First, I will present the recent results of southern molecular clouds obtained with NANTEN, a 4m radio telescope installed in Chile. The topics include the giant molecular clouds in the LMC and the supergiant shells interacting with them, and the most extensive CO view of the Milky Way, which represents star-forming molecular supershells. These obtained at mm wavelengths should serve as a good dataset to explore the sub-mm wave regime where many high excitation molecular spectra are distributed. In particular, ALMA, a large synthesis sub-mm/mm telescope to be completed in 2011 at Atacama will be most powerful in studying the southern sky. NANTEN, as well as ASTE and APEX, will be moved to Atacama in 2003 and should become a good pilot to first observe the sub-mm southern sky as precursors of ALMA.
