The capabilities of new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) instrumentation will be highlighted at this meeting via invited science talks in astronomy, astrophysics, and astrochemistry. 


In conjunction with the Spectroscopy conference, a one-day in-depth tutorial will be held on January 18, on the capabilities of ALMA during Early Science and how to use the Observing Tool for producing and submitting proposals for Early Science.

 

Specific focus areas for this science conference will include:
  • The Atomic Universe: Atomic Spectra as Probes of Cool Gas
  • The Molecular Universe: Dense Star-forming Gas
  • Isotopic Variety in the Interstellar Medium
  • Our Molecular Origins: Prebiotic Molecules
