... We therefore believe that our high redshift selection is responsible for our exclusive non-detections, and find that at ultra-violet luminosities of L UV ™ 10 23 W Hz -1 , 21-cm absorption has never been detected. We also find this to not only apply to our targets, but also those at low redshift exhibiting similar luminosities, giving zero detections out of a total of 16 sources over z = 0.24 to 3.8. ... Finally, we do not detect molecular gas in any of the sources. ...

... 7a. Fluorescent lamp . ... Plasma is sometimes called "the fourth state of matter", beyond the familiar three--solid, liquid and gas. It is a gas in which atoms have been broken up into free-floating negative electrons and positive ions , atoms which have lost electrons and are left with a positive electric charge. ... The hotter the gas, the faster its atoms and molecules move, and at very high temperatures, the collisions between such fast-moving atoms are violent enough to rip off electrons. ...

We present Kepler and Swift observations of StHa 169 which is currently classified as a symbiotic binary. The Kepler light curve shows quasi periodic behaviour with a mean period of 34 d and an amplitude of a few percent. Using Swift data we find a relatively strong UV source at the position of StHa 169 but no X-ray counterpart. ...

The deferred photometric pipeline of SNLS uses only photometry to detect and classify type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The advantages of a photometric sample include larger number of events classified as type Ia, larger redshift coverage and no need for spectroscopic observations. ... First, a subtracted image stack treatment was developed to reduce the number of non SN-like events using morphological component analysis. ... Second, a new classification using photometric SN redshifts is introduced. ...
