Submillimeter Array observations of ISM in starburst galaxies

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The Submillimeter Array (SMA) has been under construction at the 4100 m summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The array is going to allow imaging of lines and continuum at sub-arcsecond resolution in submillimeter wavelengths. The status of the array and the results from recent commissioning observations of nearby galaxies are reported.
