The process of star formation is an area of great interest in                   astronomical research.  It is an area in which the interest has                 been recently enhanced with developments in instrumentation and                 techniques for observations.  Because of the presence of                        obscuring material, the depths of star forming regions can only                 be probed with observations in the submillimeter and far infrared               regions of the spectrum.                                                                                                                                        This grant supports a program of submillimeter wavelength                       observations using a versatile camera/polarimeter which has been                developed by Drs. Hildebrand and Harper at the University of                    Chicago.  The observations will be carried out primarily at the                 California Institute of Technology Submillimeter Telescope on                   Mauna Kea, Hawaii.  The principal scientific areas of interest                  for these observations are: (1) the formation and evolution of                  stars and circumstellar disks; (2) the evolution of galaxies; (3)               the magnetic field structure of interstellar clouds; and (4) the                intrinsic properties and alignment mechanisms of interstellar                   dust.  The grant will also support continuing improvements to the               camera/polarimeter to ensure that the operating characteristics                 are maintained at a state-of-the-art level.
