Project Team: Liljeström
ODIN is a Swedish satellite project with international participation from
Canada, Finland and France. The most important spectral lines to be observed
in a variety of astrophysical environments are the 
line at 557 GHz
and the 
lines at 119 GHz and 487 GHz. The measurements of ODIN will
reveal how common the chemical conditions for life are in the universe. The
ODIN satellite will be launched in February 2001.
The scientific preparatory work of the ODIN astronomy group has been split into 17 project teams, of which Liljeström and J. Black are the lead scientist pair of two teams: (1) photon dominated regions and (2) high-latitude clouds. In addition, Liljeström has a co-investigator status in the following ODIN teams: (1) Galactic centre, (2) giant molecular clouds, (3) star forming regions, (4) shocks and outflows, and (5) absorption lines.
