Scientific paper

The use of submillimeter spectroscopy as a tool for studying solar system objects in their gaseous phase is outlined. The strong rotational molecular lines found in this spectral range make it a particularly useful method. For planets and for Titan, trace components can be detected and in some cases the thermal profile and/or vertical distribution of molecular atmospheric compounds can be inferred. In the case of comets, minor parent molecules can be searched for with a better sensitivity than at lower frequencies.
