Research Abstract

In order to study circulation of matter in the Galaxy by measuring physical status and global distribution of ionized gas, we have installed a 1-m infrared telescope at the summit of Mt.Chajnantor (elevation 5640m) in Atacama desert in republic of Chile. We successfully observed the hydrogen Paschen alpha line, which shows that the site is one of the best sites for infrared astronomy, We have started a wide-field survey of the galactic plane in Paschen alpha line to measure distribution of ionized gas quantitatively.
