CLUES

more on this

The goal of CLUES is to calibrate the [CII]158μm line as a mesure of the Star Formation Rate (SFR) by comparing with other tracers (Hα, UV, IR continuum) and to do it against variations in the properties of the ISM; all with spatial resolution. We will be applying to a Herschel Open Time Key Program aimed to calibrate the fine-structure [CII]158μm line. This line will be routinely observed at low redshift with Herschel and at high redshift with ALMA.
