Millimeter Astronomy: Saas-Fee Advanced Course 38. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy

by Thomas L. Wilson and Stéphane Guilloteau

Book Overview

The millimeter and sub-millimeter wavebands are unique in astronomy in containing several thousands of spectral lines of molecules as well as the thermal continuum spectrum of cold dust. They are the only bands in the electromagnetic spectrum in which we can detect the molecular gas reservoir for star formation and cold dust far away in high-redshift galaxies, and nearby in low-temperature cocoons of protostars and protoplanets.
