Infrared and Microwave Astronomy

Abstract

Recent observations of infrared and microwave emission from various astronomical objects, together with their theoretical implications, were discussed at a conference held in Cambridge from July 8 to 11, 1969. This rapidly developing field of astronomy promises to contribute significantly to our understanding of the formation and evolution of not only stars and galaxies but also the universe itself.
