Outer Galaxy High Resolution Survey

OGHReS (Outer Galaxy High Resolution Survey) is a large scale (100 deg2) molecular line APEX legacy survey of the outer Galaxy (see green shaded region in the figure to the right). The main aims of the survey are to investigate star formation in the outer Galaxy and constrain the large scale structure and dynamics of the Milky Way.

Dr James Urquhart is a Co-PI of this international survey and is leading the applications for the ESO time. This project will take ~1500 hours of telescope time to complete and is currently about 60% complete. It is expected to be completed by mid-2022.
