Scientific paper

SEST, a 15 m submillimeter telescope situated on La Silla in Chile is described. For its first two years of operation it has worked mainly at mm wavelengths. After adjustments, the telescope is capable of observations up to 500 GHz. An SIS (superconducting tunnel junction) receiver working at 350 GHz to be installed before the winter of 1991 is described. This receiver will allow regular submillimeter observations to be carried out. Being the first large mm/submillimeter telescope placed in the Southern Hemisphere, SEST is in a unique position to study the Magellanic clouds.
