Abstract

The ISO Short Wavelength Spectrometer will open the full 2.4-45 micrometers wavelength range for astronomical spectroscopy. At spectral resolving power approximately equals 1000, most sources detected by IRAS will be within reach. In addition, spectral resolving power approximately equals 30000 is provided for the 12-45 micrometers range. Examples of proposed observations illustrate the SWS capabilities.
