摘要
毫米波/亚毫米波甚长基线干涉测量(mmVLBI)提供了天文学中任何波长下可达到的最高空间分辨率。将ALMA作为相控阵纳入全球VLBI网络，将带来前所未有的灵敏度，并为mmVLBI能力带来变革性飞跃。基于美国和欧洲多年的开创性努力，正在进行的ALMA相控阵项目(APP)是一个由美国领导的国际合作项目，其中MPIfR领导的欧洲团队做出贡献，预计将在2014年底前为ALMA提供波束形成器和VLBI能力(APP: Fish et al. 2013, arXiv:1309.3519)。本报告从欧洲视角聚焦于国际用户群体未来对mmVLBI的使用。首先，它强调了欧洲对未来mmVLBI观测的浓厚科学兴趣，这些兴趣来自对欧洲社区未来研究项目的普遍征询的回应。展示的研究范围广泛，包括：- 对银河系中心黑洞事件视界的成像 - 检验广义相对论和/或寻找替代理论 - 研究活动星系核喷流的起源和喷流形成 - 星系和黑洞的宇宙学演化、活动星系核反馈 - 银河系中的脉泽(恒星和恒星形成区) - 河外发射线和天体化学 - 遥远星系中的红移吸收线以及星际介质和环核气体的研究 - 脉冲星、中子星、X射线双星 - 检验宇宙学 - 检验基本物理常数。
