The Horsehead mane: Towards an observational benchmark for chemical models

Jérôme Pety, Javier R. Goicoechea, Maryvonne Gerin +5

After a discussion about the need for observational benchmark for chemical models, we explain 1) why the Horsehead western edge is well suited to serve as reference for models and…

Evidence for alignment of the rotation and velocity vectors in pulsars. II. Further data and emission heights

Simon Johnston, M. Kramer, A. Karastergiou +3

We have conducted observations of 22 pulsars at frequencies of 0.7, 1.4 and 3.1 GHz and present their polarization profiles. The observations were carried out for two main purposes…

The earliest phases of high-mass star formation: a 3 square degree millimeter continuum mapping of Cygnus X

Frédérique Motte, S. Bontemps, P. Schilke +3

We have made an extensive 1.2mm continuum mosaicing study of the Cygnus X molecular cloud complex using the MAMBO cameras at the IRAM 30 m telescope. We then compared our mm maps w…

Gravitational stability in the disk of M51

M. Hitschfeld, C. Kramer, K. F. Schuster +2

Star formation laws, like i.e. the Schmidt law relating star formation rate and total gas density, have been studied in several spiral galaxies but the underlying physics are not y…

Molecular gas in QSO host galaxies at z>5

R. Maiolino, R. Neri, A. Beelen +10

We present observations with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer of three QSOs at z>5 aimed at detecting molecular gas in their host galaxies as traced by CO transitions. CO (5…

Molecular line radiative transfer in protoplanetary disks: Monte Carlo simulations versus approximate methods

Ya. Pavlyuchenkov, D. Semenov, Th. Henning +4

We analyze the line radiative transfer in protoplanetary disks using several approximate methods and a well-tested Accelerated Monte Carlo code. A low-mass flaring disk model with…

An empirical model for the beams of radio pulsars

A. Karastergiou, S. Johnston

Motivated by recent results on the location of the radio emission in pulsar magnetospheres, we have developed a model which can account for the large diversity found in the average…

Particularly Efficient Star Formation in M33

E. Gardan, J. Braine, K. F. Schuster +2

The Star Formation (SF) rate in galaxies is an important parameter at all redshifts and evolutionary stages of galaxies. In order to understand the increased SF rates in intermedia…

Discovery of Interstellar Propylene (CH_2CHCH_3): Missing Links in Interstellar Gas-Phase Chemistry

N. Marcelino, J. Cernicharo, M. Agundez +5

We report the discovery of propylene (also called propene, CH_2CHCH_3) with the IRAM 30-m radio telescope toward the dark cloud TMC-1. Propylene is the most saturated hydrocarbon e…

Highly-excited CO emission in APM08279+5255 at z=3.9

A. Weiss, D. Downes, R. Neri +5

We report the detection of the CO 4-3, 6-5, 9-8, 10-9, and 11-10 lines in the Broad Absorption Line quasar APM08279+5255 at z=3.9 using the IRAM 30m telescope. We also present IRAM…

Small-scale dissipative structures of diffuse ISM turbulence: I- CO diagnostics

Pierre Hily-Blant, Jerome Pety, Edith Falgarone

Observations of translucent molecular gas in CO and CO emission lines, at high spectral and spatial resolutions, evidence different kinds of structures at small scale…
