Sub-millimeter
Astronomy in Chile During the Pre-Alma Era
2nd
ASTE Workshop Santiago, Chile Cerro Calán December
3-4, 2007
The
Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment
(ASTE) has successfully perfomed normal astronomical
observations at wavelength of 0.87 mm (350
GHz) since 2004. Astronomers from Japan, Chile
and other parts of the world have come to
ASTE to perform their observational
projects since them. Starting from 2006, the
ASTE astronomical community meets together,
in order to revise the science done with ASTE,
the current status of the project, its achievements,
and future directions.
This last year (2007), ASTE community met
in Cerro Calán, Santiago, Chile, in
the second ASTE workshop.
This meeting includes not only review of the
current status and future of ASTE telescope,
but also the different kind of science that
has been done with ASTE, e.g. High-mass, and
low-mass star formation, ISM of nearby and
distant galaxies, and sub-millimeter galaxies,
and the advance of other projects, such as,
ATCA, MOPRA, and ALMA.
