Description: This book is unique in containing comprehensive, tutorial articles by recognized experts on almost every aspect of millimeter-wavelength astronomy. These include scientific reviews of topics ranging from the solar system, to studies of the milky way and other galaxies, and finally cosmological studies. Articles on molecular structure and using molecules to probe the dense interstellar medium and star formation give a good overview of these important areas of research. A variety of critical astrophysical topics including molecule formation, shocks, magnetic fields, turbulence, and energetics of the dense interstellar medium are covered. In addition to theory and observation, the volume includes very useful articles on experimental techniques, including antennas, receivers, and spectrometers.
