| Abstract: |
The advent of sensitive bolometer array receivers operating at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths has allowed large-scale imaging of the distribution of cold dust in star-forming regions. Owing to their high sensitivity and angular resolution, these observations reveal a wealth of structure, including a number of protostellar sources in various evolutionary stages. The Submillimeter High-Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC) is one of the facility instruments at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. It employs a 20-pixel monolithic silicon bolometer array operating at 300 mK and is used for diffraction limited broad-band continuum imaging at the wavelengths of 350 microns and 450 microns. I present a summary of the results of recent studies of selected Galactic star-forming regions (e.g. Orion A, Orion B, Galactic center, W43), as well as external galaxies (e.g. NGC 891) carried out with SHARC. |
