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 star formation and cold dust far
away in high-redshift galaxies, and nearby in low-temperature
cocoons of protostars and protoplanets. This book is based on and
extensively updated from the lectures given during the Saas-Fee
Advanced Course 38 on millimeter astronomy. It presents both the
observing techniques and the scientific perspectives of
observations at millimeter wavelengths, here in particular the star
and planet formation. The chapters by Thomas L. Wilson and Stephane
Guilloteau have been edited by Miroslava Dessauges-Zavadsky and
Daniel Pfenniger. The book is part of the series of Saas-Fee
Advanced Courses published since 1971. The targeted audience are
graduate PhD and advanced undergraduate students, but the book also
serves as reference for post-doctoral researchers or newcomers to
the field.
