A press release on the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey was associated with this poster. ... Below are maps of HI emission, HISA, and 12 CO emission in the eastern 25% of the survey, given as projections along the velocity ( Figure 1 ) and latitude ( Figure 2 ) axes. ... 2000, A. J. , submitted . ... GIF | ... We are developing automated methods of locating HISA in velocity cubes by removing large-scale emission in space and velocity and flagging small-scale dark residuals. ...

The aromatic features in M101 were studied spectroscopically and photometrically using observations from all three instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The global SED of M101 shows strong aromatic feature (commonly called PAH feature) emission. ... This implies that the weakening of the aromatic emission in massive star-forming regions is due primarily to processing of the dust grains in these environments, not to differences in how they form. ...

... 2001 November 3 . Bright Stars, Dim Galaxy . Credit: L. Drissen, J. Roy and C. Robert ( Universite Laval ), Y. Dutil ( CFHT ), NASA . Explanation: These two clusters of bright, newly formed stars surrounded by a glowing nebula lie 10 million light-years away in the dim, irregular galaxy cataloged as NGC 2366. ... A comparison with ground based images indicates that in three years this star's brightness increased by about 40 times making it currently the brightest star in this dim galaxy . ...

... A detailed study of two consecutive bright points observed simultaneously with CDS, EIT and MDI is presented. The analysis of the evolution of the photospheric magnetic features and their coronal counterpart shows that there is a linear dependence between the EIT Fe XII 195? flux and the total magnetic flux of the photospheric bipolarity. ... In a follow-up study, we used wide slit (90arcsec240arcsec) movies of four EIT coronal bright points (BPs) obtained with CDS. ...

Inverted TRACE images at 195 illustrating development of the EUV post-eruption arcade with the well-organized loop, two-ribbon, and spine structures. Note that the exposures have been rescaled to the same peak intensity to show the evolution of the bright elements. The field of view is 220.5 by 182 Mm. Back to paper .

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
