Funded Activity Summary

The birth of massive stars. Australia has an international reputation for the quality of its astronomy. This in turn stimulates public interest in science, and helps drive the development of technologies needed to pursue it. Over the past decade our nation has invested in the technology for millimetre-wave astronomy, building competitive instrumentation and the first interferometer in our hemisphere. We aim to capitalise on this investment, leveraging it to access frontline facilities in Chile being built by our international partners. In doing so, we will expose our students to the leading-edge and help nurture a vigorous radio science community, one able to actively participate in the billion-dollar international ALMA radio-telescope, due for completion in 2012.
