Scientific paper

The 3-m KOSMA telescope at Gornergrat is dedicated to millimeter and submillimeter wave astrophysics with observations mainly of interstellar atomic and molecular lines. This includes measurement of the large scale structure and dynamics of molecular clouds in the Galaxy for a better understanding of the processes connected with star formation. The present research activity of the observatory is presented with a description of the techniques and instrumentation used. A new 3-m reflector for the KOSMA telescope with an expected surface accuracy of 10 μm is under construction. With this new instrument and the excellent quality of the atmosphere at the site operation into the THz region (λ = 200 μm) will be possible.
