A scientific team concluded the southern galactic plane more complete than has been done so far thanks to the APEX telescope unique features located in Atacama (Chile) hemisphere, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) he reported .
this representation of space is the result of the poll ATLASGAL wide area by this telescope, you get images of high detail and quality by using submillimeter wavelengths, between infrared light and waves radio, the ESO said in a statement.
the APEX, whose acronym in Spanish means Atacama Pathfinder Experiment, is 12 meters in diameter and allows astronomers to study the so-called “cold universe” that is, celestial objects with near absolute zero temperatures, -273 degrees Celsius, such as gas and stardust.
It also has complex instruments, such as a bolometer camera (LABOCA) capable of measuring small changes in the incoming radiation and emission of dust bands dark and cold that obscure the starlight.
the survey ATLASGAL four times more detailed than the first version, obtained a detailed picture of the distribution of dense gas and cold in the Milky Way and covered most of the regions of star formation in the southern Milky Way.
