Resumo

© 2024: Instituto de Astronomía, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.The Large Latin American Millimeter Array (LLAMA for short) is a joint scientific and technological undertaking of Argentina and Brazil whose goal is to install and to operate an observing facility capable of performing observations of the Universe at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths. It will consist of a 12 m ALMA-like antenna with the addition of two Nasmyth cabins. LLAMA is located at 4850 m above sea level in the Puna Salteña, in the northwest region of Argentina. When completed, LLAMA will be equipped with six ALMA receivers covering Bands 1, 2+3, 5, 6, 7, and 9, which will populate the two Nasmyth cabins. We summarize here the main ideas related with the Science that LLAMA could accomplish on different astronomical topics, gathered from the experince of a group of international experts on each field.
