| Summary: | This volume consists of a collection of short papers developed from presentations given at a ̀Submillimetre Astronomy' symposium held at Kona, Hawaii. The millimetre-submillimetre region of the electromagnetic spectrum has only recently become accessible from ground-based observatories through the construction of large collecting area, high surface accuracy telescopes equipped with state-of-the-art high sensitivity, low noise instruments. New observations are presented from the Sun, Asteroids, outflow sources, ionization fronts and cold molecular clouds; analyses of protostellar and circumstellar disks, winds, shells and mass loss; high resolution continuum and spectral line maps of galactic cloud regions and of extragalactic structures; dust studies of active galactic nucleii, colliding galaxies, ellipticals, spirals and irregulars; spectral curves, turnover points and flaring of quasars and blazars; measurements and search for anisotropy in the background radiation. Also included are several contributions on new telescopes, instrumentation and receiver design and fabrication techniques, particularly for SIS instruments. |
