Session Chair: | Roy Booth |
The mm and sub-mm region of the radio spectrum provides a unique view of thermal processes in the universe, and also provides an ultra-high resolution probe of compact objects. A diverse range of ground and space-based instruments cover a wide range of science topics. This session will highlight recently commissioned and planned instruments (e.g. ALMA, CARMA, CCAT, SPT, ACT, Planck, , QUIET, SMA, HTT), together with their science objectives and results.
