... 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. ...

I-GALFA View of a Galactic Tangent Region . ... Image featured in NAIC Newsletter #46 . I-GALFA image of hydrogen gas in a tangent region outside the Sagittarius arm. ... Because we are viewing this gas in a direction closely aligned with (tangent to) its orbital motion, it appears to be moving away from us (we are orbiting the Galactic center with a similar speed, but our own motion in a different direction). ... The gas near 60 degrees longitude is being viewed tangent to its orbital motion. ...

... The stars examined here were primarily culled from two lists of X--ray sources in Orion. ... The second region is two degrees in extent east--west and ten degrees north--south with Orionis being near the northern edge. ... In the end, two main regions were chosen for monitoring: stars near Orionis and stars northwest of the belt of Orion. ... The PSPC identified 22 sources within 15 of Orionis in addition to the sources listed in Table 1 , giving a total of 85 X--ray sources in the Orionis region. ...

... Science Users Information > Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: Planetary Nebulae and HII regions in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 5128 . ... NGC 5128 is the closest example of a giant early type (elliptical or S0) galaxy. Although often dubbed as a peculiar elliptical galaxy since it has a dust lane with recent star formation and an active galactic nucleus, the majority of early type galaxies have similar structures as revealed by recent surveys. ...

... Files in red?history) . ... Solar Wind . ... In sunspot regions field lines form arches which hold back the solar wind, but in the "holes" in between they extend outwards and allow the plasma to accelerate unimpeded. ... It was therefore expected that the solar wind above the Sun's poles would be relatively fast and smooth-flowing. ... All planetary orbits lie approximately in the same flat plane as that of the Earth ("plane of the ecliptic"), which is also close to the Sun's equatorial plane. ...
