This grant supports a collaboration between a group at the                      University of Texas, led by Dr. Frank Bash, and the California                  Institute of Technology Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) with the                objectives of improving the performance of the CSO telescope on                 Mauna Kea, Hawaii at the shortest wavelengths, providing                        instrumentation for observing in the submillimeter wavelength                   region of the spectrum, and exploiting the capabilities of the                  telescope for scientific problems which require submillimeter-                  wave observations.                                                                                                                                              The process of star formation is an area in which 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 millimeter, the submillimeter,               and the far infrared regions of the spectrum.  The principal                    scientific areas to be pursued by the University of Texas group                 using the CSO telescope are the formation of stars out of                       interstellar matter and the structure of galaxies as outlined by                molecular material.
