CO: Twenty-Five Years of Millimeter-Wave Spectroscopy Proceedings of the 170th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, Held in Tucson, Arizona, May 29–June 5, 1995

Interstellar carbon monoxide (CO) was first detected in 1970 with the 36 foot diameter telescope of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory! on Kitt Peak in Southern Arizona. R. W. Wilson, K. B. Jefferts, and A. A. Penzias of Bell Labs reported, "We have found intense 2.6 mm line radiation 2 f...
