... However, the comparison of masses deduced from the continuum SIMBA 1.2 mm emission and virial masses (understood to trace the entire potential of the clouds) in a sample of giant molecular clouds in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) by previous studies found a discrepancy between these two quantities that requires explanation. ... Methods: New observations of the southwest region of the SMC were obtained with the LABOCA camera on the APEX telescope. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

The potential of masers to act as probes of their environment has long been recognised, but to date has proven very difficult to realise. ... 2001, Sutton et al. 2001). Masers are variable on timescales of weeks to months and one of the major limitations in previous attempts at multi-transition analysis has been the uncertainties introduced by combining observations made over many years using a variety of instruments with differing spectral and spatial resolutions and polarisation properties. ...

An active region model was built, based on the rotation of the UCD and the ECMI mechanism. ... The active region model is applied to the radio emission from TVLM 513-46546, in which the ECMI mechanism is responsible for the radio bursts from the magnetic tubes and the rotation of the dwarf can modulate the integral of flux with respect to time. ...

... To determine a lower limit to the sensitivity of current observations to measurements of NS surface temperatures, we have used data from the Einstein Slew Survey (Elvis et al. 1990) to establish temperature limits for 275 pulsars which received nonzero exposure during the survey. ... Filled squares correspond to pulsars actually detected in the survey data; the smaller symbols correspond to upper limits to the count rates. ...

For each galaxy, the maximum accessible volume was calculated and a binned HI mass function was computed using the 1/ V(max) method. Preliminary results suggest a galaxy detection rate which is a factor of 2-3 times higher than expected from the local HI mass function derived from HIPASS (Zwaan et al. ...

The effect of darkening of microwave radiation in individual active regions was as well detected. Archive . ... Last update: 17/02/2011 ...

... For this paper: postscript PPEUC CMB index 1 Introduction.. ... We report on a 16 ks X-ray observation with the ROSAT PSPC towards the center of a CMB decrement detected by Jones et al. (1997) in the direction of the quasar pair PC1643+4631 A & B. At the position of the decrement we find no evidence for emission by hot gas which could give rise to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. ... We conclude that the CMB decrement is not a typical galaxy cluster. ... 2 The ROSAT PSPC observation . ...

... 2001 July 25 . Hot Gas Halo Detected Around Galaxy NGC 4631 . ... Explanation: Is our Milky Way Galaxy surrounded by a halo of hot gas? ... Since NGC 4631 is similar to the Milky Way , this observation indicates that our own Galaxy is indeed surrounded by a halo of hot X-ray emitting gas, although we are too close to clearly differentiate it from more nearby extended X-ray sources. The clusters of massive stars probably heat the halo gas. ... About APOD | ...
