Cosmology at millimeter-wavelengths<br />
• can detect the earliest evolutionary stages of structure<br />
<strong>for</strong>mation in planet-<strong>for</strong>ming and star-<strong>for</strong>ming regions<br />
(cold, dense, optically-thick dust-obscured environments)<br />
• independence of flux density on distance means we can<br />
detect starburst galaxies in the high-z Universe (which contribute<br />
~50% of the γ-ray to radio extragalactic background light)<br />
• rich molecular-line spectrum to understand physical<br />
conditions of star<strong>for</strong>mation, the ISM, gas mass,<br />
spectroscopic–z & evolutionary history<br />
• we observe the CMB at the peak of its energy distribution.<br />
Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect is a powerful redshift-independent<br />
method to identify clusters in local and high-z Universe
