AtLAST Science Overview Report
Mark Booth, Pamela Klaassen, Claudia Cicone +81
Submillimeter and millimeter wavelengths provide a unique view of the Universe, from the gas and dust that fills and surrounds galaxies to the chromosphere of our own Sun. Current…
The key science drivers for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST)
Mark Booth, Pamela Klaassen, Claudia Cicone +14
Sub-mm and mm wavelengths provide a unique view of the Universe, from the gas and dust that fills and surrounds galaxies to the chromosphere of our own Sun. Current single-dish fac…
Observations of Titan's Stratosphere During Northern Summer: Temperatures, CH3CN and CH3D Abundances
Alexander E. Thelen, Conor A. Nixon, Martin A. Cordiner +11
Titan's atmospheric composition and dynamical state have previously been studied over numerous epochs by both ground- and space-based facilities. However, stratospheric measurement…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope \mbox{(AtLAST)} Science: Probing the Transient and Time-variable Sky
John Orlowski-Scherer, Thomas J. Maccarone, Joe Bright +25
The study of transient and variable events, including novae, active galactic nuclei, and black hole binaries, has historically been a fruitful path for elucidating the evolutionary…
Measurements of Titan's Stratospheric Winds during the 2009 Equinox with the eSMA
Siobhan Light, Mark Gurwell, Alexander Thelen +2
Saturn's moon Titan possesses stratospheric zonal winds that places it among a sparse class of planetary bodies known to have superrotation in their atmospheres. Few measurements h…
ALMA Spectroscopy of Europa: A Search for Active Plumes
M. A. Cordiner, A. E. Thelen, I. -L. Lai +7
The subsurface ocean of Europa is a high priority target in the search for extraterrestrial life, but direct investigations are hindered by the presence of a thick, exterior ice sh…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: Planetary and Cometary Atmospheres
Martin A. Cordiner, Alexander E. Thelen, Thibault Cavalié +26
The study of planets and small bodies within our Solar System is fundamental for understanding the formation and evolution the Earth and other planets. Compositional and meteorolog…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: Surveying the distant Universe
Eelco van Kampen, Tom Bakx, Carlos De Breuck +27
During the most active period of star formation in galaxies, which occurs in the redshift range 1<z<3, strong bursts of star formation result in significant quantities of dust, whi…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) science: Gas and dust in nearby galaxies
Daizhong Liu, Amelie Saintonge, Caroline Bot +25
Understanding the physical processes that regulate star formation and galaxy evolution are major areas of activity in modern astrophysics. Nearby galaxies offer unique opportunitie…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: The hidden circumgalactic medium
Minju M. Lee, Alice Schimek, Claudia Cicone +29
Our knowledge of galaxy formation and evolution has incredibly progressed through multi-wavelength observational constraints of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies at all cos…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: Solar and stellar observations
Sven Wedemeyer, Miroslav Barta, Roman Brajsa +35
Observations at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths offer a complementary perspective on our Sun and other stars, offering significant insights into both the thermal and magnetic composit…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: Our Galaxy
Pamela Klaassen, Alessio Traficante, Maria T. Beltrán +38
As we learn more about the multi-scale interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, we develop a greater understanding for the complex relationships between the large-scale diffuse gas…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: Resolving the Hot and Ionized Universe through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect
Luca Di Mascolo, Yvette Perrott, Tony Mroczkowski +23
An omnipresent feature of the multi-phase ``cosmic web'' is that warm/hot (> K) ionized gas pervades it. This gas constitutes a relevant contribution to the overall universal…
Variability in Titan's Mesospheric HCN and Temperature Structure as Observed by ALMA
A. E. Thelen, C. A. Nixon, R. Cosentino +5
The temperature structure of Titan's upper atmosphere exhibits large variability resulting from numerous spatially and temporally irregular external energy sources, seasonal change…
Subsurface Thermophysical Properties of Europa's Leading and Trailing Hemispheres as Revealed by ALM
A. E. Thelen, K. de Kleer, M. Camarca +4
We present best-fit values of porosity -- and the corresponding effective thermal inertiae -- determined from three different depths in Europa's near-subsurface (~1-20 cm). The por…
