SIGNALS
Star formation, Ionized gas, and Nebular Abundances Legacy Survey with SITELLE
I am part of the SIGNALS survey (PI Laurie Rousseau-Nepton), an ambitious observing program which will observe a volume-limited sample of 39 local (< 10 Mpc) star-forming galaxies with the Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrograph SITELLE mounted on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope.
With spatial resolutions of 2 to 40 pc, we will be able to study star formation and stellar feedback in an unprecedented statistical sample of HII regions. Within the collaboration, the international team of astronomers will fully exploit this incredibly rich data set to analyze hot topics such as the properties of the interstellar medium, young star clusters, the dynamics of gas and stars, stellar feedback.
