Millimeter Astronomy [E-Book] : Saas-Fee Advanced Course 38. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy / by T. L. Wilson, Stéphane Guilloteau ; edited by Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky, Daniel Pfenniger.
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 st...
