EAO Sub-mm Futures White Papers Discussion Wiki

This wiki is designed to aid in the ongoing discussion of the future of sub-mm astronomy within the East Asian Observatory. This wiki has been created on the back of the 2019 EAO Sub-mm Futures Meeting held at PMO, Nanjing, China. The main topics that were discussed at the meeting were:

• VLBI - Capabilities, Demands, Advancements

• Continuum - Capabilities, Demands, Advancements

• Heterodyne - Capabilities, Demands, Advancements

White Papers will be written to show comunity demand for new instrumentation at the JCMT. Submission deadline: June 30^th, 2019. Links to the individual White Paper pages can be found here for the Continuum science case:

• Magnetic Fields

Notes on writing White Papers

We thank you for supporting the writing of such important documents - White Papers in Support of a new 850 micron MKID continum Camera at the JCMT. The dealine for the white papers is June 30th.

• nine page limit
• Focus of paper on what can be achived with a new 850 micron MKID continum Camera
• Devote less than two pages to potential - future upgrades such as the 450 micron and heterodyne demands.

If there is demand to write seperate/standalone White Papers specific for the case for Heterodyne instrumentation please use the following links: Galaxies, Star formation, Gas polarization.

Example White Papers

For example White Papers visit feel free to look at the East Asian Vision for mm/submm VLBI White Paper and the SCUBA-2 White Paper "The Submillimeter Universe" by Scott et al. In addition links to the Science White papers submitted to Astro2020 Decadal Survey.
