Scientific paper

Research results of far-infrared spectroscopy with the Kuiper Airborne Observatory are discussed. Both high and intermediate resolution have been successfully employed in the detection of many new molecular and atomic lines including rotational transition of hydrides such as OH, H2O, NH3 and HCl; high J rotational transitions of CO; and the ground state fine structure transitions of atomic carbon, oxygen, singly ionized carbon and doubly ionized oxygen and nitrogen. These transitions have been used to study the physics and chemistry of clouds throughout the galaxy, in the galactic center region and in neighboring galaxies. This discussion is limited to spectroscopic studies of interstellar gas.
