GHOSTS: The Resolved Stellar Outskirts of Massive Disk Galaxies
Roelof S. de Jong, A. C. Seth, E. F. Bell +10
We show initial results from our ongoing HST GHOSTS survey of the resolved stellar envelopes of 14 nearby, massive disk galaxies. In hierarchical galaxy formation the stellar halos…
The JCMT Plane Survey: early results from the l = 30 degree field
T. J. T. Moore, R. Plume, M. A. Thompson +55
We present early results from the JCMT Plane Survey (JPS), which has surveyed the northern inner Galactic plane between longitudes l=7 and l=63 degrees in the 850-μm continuum wit…
Giant Magnetized Outflows from the Centre of the Milky Way
E. Carretti, R. M. Crocker, L. Staveley-Smith +6
The nucleus of the Milky Way is known to harbour regions of intense star formation activity as well as a super-massive black hole. Recent Fermi space telescope observations have re…
Stellar populations across the NGC4244 truncated galactic disk
Roelof S. de Jong, A. C. Seth, D. J. Radburn-Smith +12
We use HST/ACS to study the resolved stellar populations of the nearby, nearly edge-on galaxy NGC4244 across its outer disk surface density break. The stellar photometry allows us…
An Atomic and Molecular Study of the Interstellar Medium Around the SNR RCW 103
S. A. Paron, E. Reynoso, C. Purcell +2
We report on the detection of HCO+ and 12CO emission in the rotational transition J=1-0 in the vicinity of the shock front at the southern border of the supernova remnant RCW 103,…
A Search for Propylene Oxide and Glycine in Sagittarius B2 (LMH) and Orion
M. R. Cunningham, P. A. Jones, P. D. Godfrey +17
We have used the Mopra Telescope to search for glycine and the simple chiral molecule propylene oxide in the Sgr B2 (LMH) and Orion KL, in the 3-mm band. We have not detected eithe…
