Interstellar carbon monoxide (CO) was first detected in 1970 with
the 36 foot diameter telescope of the National Radio Astronomy
Observatory on Kitt Peak in Southern Arizona. R. W. Wilson, K. B.
Jefferts, and A. A. Penzias of Bell Labs reported, "We have found
intense 2.6 mm line radiation 2 from nine Galactic sources which we
attribute to carbon monoxide." Soon afterward, several other basic
molecules were also observed in space. IAU Symposium 170, CO:
Twenty Five Years of Millimeter Wave Spectroscopy, was organized to
commemorate those discoveries. The Symposium reviewed the
accomplishments of a quarter century of research on interstellar
molec ular gas, surveyed the current state of millimeter-wave
spectroscopy, and gave a glimpse of what the next 25 years might
hold. Studies of interstellar CO have revolutionized our
understanding of the phases and dynamics of the interstellar
medium, the initial and final stages of stellar evolution, the
chemistry of dense and diffuse interstellar matter and of the solar
system, the structure of the Milky Way galaxy, and the content and
structure of other galaxies, some very distant. Spectroscopic
studies of CO and other molecules are primary tools for
investigating all these topics, which are among the most
fundamental and active research areas in astrophysics. New
developments in instrumentation, including sev eral powerful new
telescopes, continue to keep millimeter and submillimeter
wavelength radio astronomy at the forefront of research."
