The Submillimeter Array located atop of Mauna Kea in Hawaii is a collaborative project of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics. The high angular resolution provided by the SMA is particularly suitable for studying massive star-forming cores which often exhibit strong (sub)millimeter continuum and spectral features but mostly locate within crowded regions at large distances. We report the latest SMA status and recent results in the area of massive star formation obtained with the array.
