The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) . Home page Team Galaxy Sample Observations Papers Projects Related Surveys Pipeline Meetings . Local Volume galaxies ( B. Koribalski) . The Local Volume HI Survey'' (LVHIS) is a project comprising deep HI line and 20-cm radio continuum observations for all nearby, gas-rich galaxies, supplemented by multi-wavelength data. ... Our aim is to study the formation and evolution of galaxies in the Local Universe. ...

The SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey Dust along the Hubble sequence Catherine Vlahakis University of Bonn Collaborators: Steve Eales (Cardiff University) Loretta Dunne (University of Nottingham) Overview What is SLUGS? Results from the survey Recent work using SLUGS results ­ the FIR-radio relation Introduction: SLUGS SLUGS ­ a submm survey of galaxies in the local Universe ­ at 850m and 450m Survey of ~200 nearby galaxies: 104 60m-selected ("IRS") (Dunne et al. ...

We compare atomic gas, molecular gas, and the recent star formation rate (SFR) inferred from HЮБ in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). ... This allows us to disentangle conversion factor effects from the impact of metallicity on the formation and star formation efficiency of molecular gas. ... At a fixed total gas surface density the SMC has a 5-10 times lower molecular gas fraction (and star formation rate) than large spiral galaxies. ...

... Now I have an occasion - Grokking the GIMP by Carey Bunks ! ... I have Linux binaries gimp-1.0.2.linux.tgz of current development version with all patches applied and plugins updated . ... I used to configure gimp with --prefix=/usr/local/gimp, so everything will go to /usr/local/gimp directory. Just make a symbolic link to make it visible ( e.g. ln -s /usr/local/gimp/bin/gimp /usr/local/bin/gimp). ... Also, you need gtk libraries installed ! ... GIMP Plugin Registry . ... figures plugin . ...

... All the information about the propagation of a given plasma wave mode is contained in the appropriate dispersion relation, which relates the angular frequency w to the wave number k (magnitude of the propagation vector k ). ... Phase velocity . ... Group velocity . ... Wave propagation can also be described using diagrams called phase velocity or wave normal surfaces , which give the variations of the magnitude of the phase velocity of plane waves with respect to the magnetic field direction: . ...

... Mindful of these biases, I can now explore the relations between the measured rotation periods and various other observables. The hypothesis behind monitoring stellar variability is that active stars have asymmetric spot distributions on their photospheres. ... They found that only stars with rotation periods greater than seven days show variations greater than 0.4 magnitudes at I. Bouvier et al . ... 1993a) demonstrated a relation between X--ray flux and spectral type in ZAMS stars. ...
