Community Plan for Far-Infared/Submillimeter Space Astronomy
The consensus of attendees at the Second Workshop on New Concepts for Far-Infrared/Submillimeter Space Astronomy is that the Single Aperture Far-IR telescope (SAFIR), a cooled spaceborne observatory, is important for the future of far-infrared astronomy.

Variable-delay Polarization Modulators (VPMs) for Far-infrared through Millimeter Astronomy [PDF]
This viewgraph presentation reviews the use of Variable-delay Polarization Modulators (VPMs) for Far-infrared through Millimeter Astronomy. The two science goals are to use polarized emission from the partially-aligned dust that provides a probe of the ...

Science Needs for a Terrestrial Biosphere Tipping Point Early Warning System
Abstract Tipping points in the Earth system have the potential to cause major detrimental impacts to the biosphere and societies. Their inherent nonlinearity implies that even relatively small additional increases in external forcing might result in disproportionately large adjustments to components of the Earth system.

3D CMZ. I. Central Molecular Zone Overview
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy and is heavily obscured in the optical and near-IR. We present an overview of the far-IR dust continuum, where the molecular clouds are revealed, provided by ...

Exploring the challenges of a far-infrared post-dispersed polarising Fourier transform spectrometer [PDF]
Recent advances in superconducting far-infrared (FIR) bolometer detectors have resulted in increases to their sensitivity of at least two orders of magnitude over broadband detectors flown on previous far-infrared spaceborne astronomy instruments.

Far-infrared Emission Lines as Metallicity Diagnostic
The chemical abundance of the interstellar medium is a key tracer of galaxy evolution. Optical and ultraviolet emission lines are widely used to derive gas-phase metallicities, but suffer from uncertainties due to possible temperature fluctuations and ...
