Description
This study aims to develop optimised observational strategies to leverage the African Millimetre Telescope (AMT)'s strategic location in the Southern Hemisphere for spectral line studies of galactic star-forming regions. Using simulations based on IRAM 30m telescope data, it proposes methodologies for targeting prominent molecular clouds and refining observational parameters, such as spectral resolution and integration times, to maximise the AMT's potential. The outcomes will enhance the AMT's capabilities for tracing molecular emission lines, such as carbon monoxide (CO), enabling detailed exploration of the physical properties and dynamics of star-forming clouds. By addressing a critical gap in millimetre-wave observations in the Southern Hemisphere, this research contributes significantly to our
understanding of star formation.
