Abstract: As of 1984, the submm band (ν >300 GHz) is relatively unexplored. The word “relatively” should be stressed since, evidently, a great deal of work has been done. However, much of this is of the “discovery” or “first detection” category with emphasis on the priority of a given result, and less thought as to astrophysical consequences. It therefore seems to be a useful exercise to examine what astrophysics one should expect from submm measurements. A great deal of these measurements will be the extension of work going on at longer wav...
