SCIENCE WITH ALMA BAND 5 (163 - 211 GHz)
Workshop to be held at the Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma, May 24 - 25, 2010
There is increasing interest in observations at frequencies between 163 and 211 GHz (ALMA Band 5) for both Galactic and extragalactic science. A key application is high-resolution imaging of the water line at 183 GHz in Galactic and nearby extragalactic sources. In addition, the 158 micron line of C+ from objects at redshifts between 8.0 and 10.6 will appear in the band, opening up the possibility of probing the earliest epoch of galaxy formation.
The primary output will be a science case for a full set of Band 5 receivers on ALMA, to be submitted to arXiv.
