To
investigate star formation and
|
|
|
|
its
effects on the ISM in our own,
|
|
|
|
and
external galaxies through
|
|
|
|
submm/far-IR
imaging
|
|
|
|
spectroscopy
|
|
|

Trace
star-forming cloud cores:
|
|
|
|
– |
CO 7-6: requires
warm, dense gas
|
|
|
for excitation
|
|
|
| • |
Trace
photodissociated gas:
|
|
|
|
– |
[C I] 3P2
– 3P1: requires UV fields for
|
|
|
|
|
formation
|
|
|
| • |
SPIFI
can measure both lines
|
|
|
|
simultaneously
