The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) in 2023 and future opportunities

The observatory:

• The Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (Menten, MPIfR)
• Status of the observatory (Duran, APEX/ESO)
• APEX operation (Parra, APEX/ESO)
• APEX instrumentation (Klein, MPIfR)
• Status of the AMKID camera at APEX (Reyes, MPIfR)
• Submm calibration scale and monitoring (Dumke, PUC/MPIfR)
• General discussion on the observatory status (All)

Science with APEX:

• Extragalactic science at the MPIfR with APEX (Weiss, MPIfR)
• APEX observations of the brightest water line in low redshift ULIRGs (Quinatoa, U de Valparaiso)
• APEX CO survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (Rubio U de Chile)
• Monitoring the activity of distant comet C/2017 K2 (Yang, Diego Portales U)
• Galactic science at the MPIfR with APEX (Wyrowski, MPIfR)
• Molecular outflow chemistry (Mardones, U de Chile)
• The Galactic center and beyond (Riquelme, U de la Serena)
• APEX Legacy programs: SEDIGISM as example (Perez-Beaupuits, PUC/MPIfR)

Synergies:
