The millimetre and submillimetre spectral region (300 to 3000 Ilm or 1000 to 100 GHz) was until recently one of the few spectral regimes not fully opened up for astronomical studies. Thanks both to improvements in detectors and receivers and to the construction of large telescopes at high altitude sites this situation is improving very rapidly. Three major telescopes have been built recently and are coming into operation during 1987 and 1988, namely the 15m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and the lOAm Caltech Submillimetre Observatory (CSO) telescope, both located on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and the 15 m Swedish -ESO ...

Reviews for Millimetre and Submillimetre Astronomy
`This book is ideally suited for the beginning millimetre and submillimetre astronomer but those already familiar with this field might also find it useful as a reference book. The text is clearly written and liberally illustrated with tables and line drawings.' W. van der Veen, Journal of British Astronomical Association.
