15% open time, 85% IRAM partner .Countries: 43 Millimeter Wave Astronomy fundamentally changed during the last 15 years:
•Became important pillar of multi-wavelength Astronomy.
•Transition from single object projects to multi object surveys.
•Arrival of ALMA, a 1.3 billion Eu world wide project in the southern hemisphere. NOEMA Northern Extended Millimeter Array
The Concept •Double the number of 15 m antennas at PdB from 6 to 12
•Increase of IF band width from 8 GHz to 32 GHz
•New Correlator: Full low resolution coverage + 128 flexible high resolution windows
•Extension of the Baselines from 0.8 to 1.6 km
•Organ ize ~ 50 MEu for thi s ! NOEMA Motivations
• Investigate Galaxy- and Star Formation throughout the history of the universe.
• Understand interstellar and circumstellar chemistry and its influence on star and planet formation. Detection of complex and potentially prebiotic molecules.
• Allow large, statistically significant surveys.
• Provide easy accessible discovery space.
• Generate full sky coverage in the millimeter range.
• Enhance IRAM partners use of ALMA. The High Redshift Universe
