Evidence for Secular Evolution in Late-Type Spirals

S. Courteau, R. S. de Jong, A. H. Broeils

We combine deep optical and IR photometry for 326 spiral galaxies from two recent galaxy samples and report that the surface brightness profiles of late-type spirals are best fit b…

The HI Content of Spirals. I. Field-Galaxy HI Mass Functions and HI Mass-Optical Size Regression

José M. Solanes, Riccardo Giovanelli, Martha P. Haynes

A standard parametric maximum-likelihood technique is used to determine both the probability distribution over total HI mass and the regression of this quantity on the…

Hydrogen Molecules In Superstrong Magnetic Field: II. Excitation Levels

Dong Lai, Edwin E. Salpeter

We study the energy levels of H molecules in a superstrong magnetic field ($B\go 10^{12}$ G), typically found on the surfaces of neutron stars. The interatomic interaction pote…

Motion and Ionization Equilibrium of Hydrogen Atoms in Superstrong Magnetic Field

Dong Lai, Edwin E. Salpeter

We study the effects of finite proton mass on the energy levels of hydrogen atoms moving transverse to a superstrong magnetic field with generalized pseudomomentum . F…

Variations in Solar Luminosity from Time Scales of Minutes to Months

Jon D. Pelletier

We present the power spectrum of solar irradiance during 1985 and 1987 obtained from the ACRIM project from time scales of minutes to months. At low frequency the spectra are Loren…

On The Jets Associated with Galactic Superluminal Sources

Amir Levinson, Roger Blandford

Recent observations of GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655+40 reveal superluminal motions in Galactic sources. This letter examines the physical conditions within these Galactic sources, th…

What is the Small-Scale Velocity Dispersion of Galaxy Pairs?

L. Guzzo, K. B. Fisher, M. S. Strauss +2

We present some new results from an ongoing investigation of the anisotropy of the two--point correlation function for optically selected galaxies. We have estimated xi(r_p,pi) fro…

The Onset of the Cold HI Phase in Disks of Protogalaxies

Edvige Corbelli, Edwin E. Salpeter

We discuss a possible delay experienced by protogalaxies with low column density of gas in forming stars over large scales. After the hydrogen has recombined, as the external ioniz…

ON BLUE STRAGGLER FORMATION BY DIRECT COLLISIONS OF MAIN-SEQUENCE STARS

James C. Lombardi, Frederic A. Rasio, Stuart L. Shapiro

We report the results of new SPH calculations of parabolic collisions between main-sequence (MS) stars. The stars are assumed to be close to the MS turn-off point in a globular clu…
