TL;DR: The Large APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy (ATLASGAL) as mentioned in this paper is a large-scale, systematic database of massive pre-and proto-stellar clumps in the Galaxy, in order to understand how and under what conditions star formation takes place.

TL;DR: Observations of the sub-millimetre galaxy SMMJ2135-0102, which has been gravitationally magnified by a factor of 32 by a massive foreground galaxy cluster lens, find that the luminosity densities of these star-forming regions are comparable to the dense cores of giant molecular clouds in the local Universe, but they are about a hundred times larger and 107 times more luminous.

TL;DR: The Large APEX Bolometer Camera (LABOCA) as mentioned in this paper is a new facility instrument for the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) 12m submillimeter telescope.

TL;DR: The Large APEX BOlometer CAmera, LABOCA, has been commissioned for operation as a new facility instrument at the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment 12 m submillimeter telescope as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope has commenced science observations of the Sun starting in late 2016, and the results of an extensive commissioning effort to optimize the mapping procedure are discussed in detail: a path that uses the two loads in the ALMA calibration system as well as sky measurements is described and applied to commissioning data Inspection of a large number of single-dish datasets shows significant variation in the resulting temperatures, and based on the temperature distributions, and derived quiet-Sun values at disk center of
