TH4E: Special Session: Submillimeter Wave Radio Astronomy and Mauna Kea

The historic role that Mauna Kea has played in the development of Radio Astronomy as well as the historic role that radio astronomy has played in the MTT society will be highlighted in this very special focus session on submillimeter wave instrumentation, techniques, and astronomy. A wide range of talks will cover both current topics in millimeter and submillimeter wave astronomy and technology, as well as a look backwards at some of the major contributions this field has had in microwave theory and techniques. The session chair and co-chair are active long time members of the radio astronomy community and past participants in this conference series.
