The goal of this paper is to present the results of a preliminary analysis of the extended infrared (IR) emission by dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We combine Spitzer Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE) and Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) data and correlate the infrared emission with gas tracers of H I, CO, and HЮБ. ... We construct maps of the temperature of large dust grains. ...

. ATLAS is a project to image seven square degrees of sky, in two fields (CDF-S and ELAIS-S1), at radio wavelengths, to an rms of about 15 Jy, making it the widest deep radio survey aver attempted. The fields are chosen to cover the Spitzer Wide-Area IR Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE), and the radio images cut through the dust, to trace the cosmic history of AGN and star-forming galaxies.

FAMILIES AND SCATTERING . ... An important observation on the orbital distribution of irregular satellites is that satellite families at Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are not well defined. At Jupiter one finds 3-4 reasonably compact retrograde families, corresponding to each of the previously known retrograde irregulars and one prograde family. ... That is contrary to the current doctrine that very little has happened to these irregular satellite families following their collisional formation. ...
