... Aromatic dust emission features and emission lines from molecular and atomic hydrogen are detected but they are not particularly strong. The dominant spectral features are emission lines from moderately ionized species of argon, neon, and sulfur, which are used to determine the physical conditions in the ionized gas. The ionized gas excitation shows strong variations on parsec scales, some of which can plausibly be associated with individual hot stars. ... ADS Citation Query . ...

The completion of the 12-mm and 3-mm receiver systems on the Compact Array has secured two new astronomical windows into the southern skies. ... These include investigating the molecular gas reservoirs in and around galaxies in the very distant (high redshift) universe. ... Northern hemisphere millimetre interferometers have already observed molecular gas and dust in a handful of high-redshift radio galaxies, confirming that these objects are still forming the bulk of their stars. ...

... 2000 July 3 . Pelican Nebula Ionization Front . ... Explanation: The Pelican Nebula is slowly being transformed. ... The light from young energetic stars is slowly transforming the cold gas to hot gas, with the advancing boundary between the two known as an ionization front. ... Millions of years from now this nebula might no longer be known as the Pelican , as the balance and placement of stars and gas will leave something that appears completely different. ...

... 5 National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, U.S.A. In this paper we present new radio and near-infrared observations of a bright Halpha knot located south-east of the Cepheus OB3 association, near the ionization front that divides the S155 diffuse HII region from the Cepheus B molecular cloud. ... The larger of the small--diameter components is a blister-type compact HII region, still partly bounded by high density molecular gas. ...

... The spectrum of the Sgr B2 molecular cloud has been surveyed between 215 and 265 GHz towards 3 positions, the dense cores Sgr B2(N)and Sgr B2(M), and the quiescent core Sgr B2(NW). ... The Sgr B2 molecular cloud, located approximately 100 pc from the Galactic Centre and with a mass of , is one of the most extreme cases among star formation sites ( Lis & Goldsmith (1991) ). ... Of the 3 observed positions Sgr B2(N) has the strongest line emission in most molecular species with a few exceptions. ...
