Abstract

This talk describes some of the results obtained with the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite, SWAS, in its first one and a half years of operations. During this epoch, the satellite carried out observations on comets, planets, stars, the Galactic Center, and a variety of interstellar regions, at five different spectral frequencies, to study the physics and chemistry of water vapor H 2 16O, and its isotopomer H 2 18O, warm isotopic carbon monoxide, atomic carbon and molecular oxygen in these sources.
