Contemporary Millimeter- and Submillimeter-Wave Astronomy

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We discuss the scientific importance of the millimeter- and submillimeter-wave astronomy. The directions of research and the main achievements in cosmology, extragalactic astronomy, and studies of the Galaxy structure, star-formation regions, and Solar-System objects are described. Topical problems are formulated. Existing and planned instruments for the millimeter/submillimeter astronomy are briefly described.
