We estimate the conversion factor relating CO emission to H2 mass, ЮБCO, in five Local Group galaxies that span approximately an order of magnitude in metallicityт?? ... We model the dust mass along the line of sight from infrared (IR) emission and then solve for the ЮБCO that best allows a single gas-to-dust ratio (ЮДGDR) to describe each system. ... These results are consistent with the conversion factor becoming a strong function of metallicity around 12 + log (O/H) ~ 8.4-8.2. ...

The project consists in deriving accurate age map of the stellar population across the bulge to be then combined with information on the stellar kinematics and metallicity, with the ultimate goal of reconstructing the star formation history (SFH) of the Milky Way bulge. ...

The Last Bouquet (Gil Robb Wilson) I've flown 'em all from then till now The big ones and the small, I've looped and zoomed and dove and spun And climbed 'em to a stall. ... I've chased the steers across the range, The geese from off the bay.

This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...

The apparent path of the Sun across the sky. ... The path of the Sun across the celestial sphere is very close to that of the planets and the moon. ... In one year, as the Earth completes a full circuit around the Sun (drawing above), the Earth-Sun line and its continuation past Earth sweep the entire plane. ... Since the Sun and Earth are in the plane of the ecliptic, the line is automatically in that plane too; if the moon is also on the same line, it must be in the plane of the ecliptic as well. ...

... With the Moon's terminator moving almost 10 mph (16 km/h) across its equator, how long would it take for an observer using binoculars to notice a change in lunar features? ... The lunar terminator, the sunset/sunrise line that sweeps across the Moon s surface as the Moon orbits Earth, travels at a rate of 9.6 mph (15.4 km/h) along our satellite s equator. ...
