1. submillimeter

   Submillimetre astronomy or submillimeter astronomy (see spelling differences) is the branch of observational astronomy that is conducted at submillimetre wavelengths (i.e., terahertz radiation) of the electromagnetic spectrum. Astronomers place the submillimetre waveband between the far-infrared and microwave wavebands, typically taken to be between a few hundred micrometres and a millimetre. It is still common in submillimetre astronomy to quote wavelengths in 'microns', the old name for micrometre. Using submillimetre observations, astronomers examine molecular clouds and dark cloud cores with a goal of clarifying the process of star formation from earliest collapse to stellar birth. Submillimetre observations of these dark clouds can be used to determine chemical abundances and cooling mechanisms for the molecules which comprise them. In addition, submillimetre observations give information on the mechanisms for the formation and evolution of galaxies.

Examples of submillimeter in a Sentence

1. Kotaro Kohno:

   The light from these galaxies is very faint with long wavelengths invisible to our eyes and undetectable by Hubble, so we turned to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array( ALMA), which is ideal for viewing these kinds of things. I have a long history with that facility and so knew it would deliver good results.

2. Tomoharu Oka:

   Investigations of gas motion with radio telescopes may provide a complementary way to search for dark black holes, the ongoing wide area survey observations of the Milky Way with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope and high-resolution observations of nearby galaxies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have the potential to increase the number of black hole candidates dramatically.
