Funded Activity Summary

International collaboration in millimetre and infrared astronomy to pursue the study of star formation. Stars form in the cold cores of molecular clouds. Their formation can be studied at millimetre wavelengths, through the rotational line emission arising from the rich molecular chemistry taking place inside these clouds. They can also be studied at infrared wavelengths through their thermal emission. In a collaboration with UK astronomers a research program into this field will be advanced, making use of the new Australian facilities for millimetre-wave astronomy---the Mopra Telescope and the mm-interferometer of the Australia Telescope---as well as the ESO facilities for infrared astronomy. Funds are sought to facilitate this collaboration.
