Molecular Cloud Formation and the Star Formation Efficiency in M~33

Jonathan Braine, Pierre Gratier, Carsten Kramer +3

Does star formation proceed in the same way in large spirals such as the Milky Way and in smaller chemically younger galaxies? Earlier work suggests a more rapid transformation of…

Reflexion on a method for Archaeology of technical machine

Nicolas Perry, Richard J. B. Stein, Robert Vergnieux +1

This study is based on Roman wooden force pumps. It appears that they were used in small numbers to raise water from wells, and more commonly as portable pumps to fight fires. The…

Chemistry in Disks. III. -- Photochemistry and X-ray driven chemistry probed by the ethynyl radical (CCH) in DM Tau, LkCa 15, and MWC 480

Th. Henning, D. Semenov, St. Guilloteau +7

We studied several representative circumstellar disks surrounding the Herbig Ae star MWC 480 and the T Tauri stars LkCa 15 and DM Tau at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths in lines of CC…

HI and CO in the circumstellar environment of the S-type star RS Cnc

Yannick Libert, Jan Martin Winters, Thibaut Le Bertre +2

This paper presents interferometric and single-dish CO observations along with HI data obtained for the oxygen-rich semi-regular variable RS Cnc, in order to probe its circumstella…

Molecular and Atomic Gas in the Local Group Galaxy M33

P. Gratier, J. Braine, N. J. Rodriguez-Fernandez +22

We present high resolution large scale observations of the molecular and atomic gas in the Local Group Galaxy M33. The observations were carried out using the HERA at the 30m IRAM…

The Molecular Interstellar Medium of the Local Group Dwarf NGC6822

P. Gratier, J. Braine, N. J. Rodriguez-Fernandez +4

Do molecular clouds collapse to form stars at the same rate in all environments? In large spiral galaxies, the rate of transformation of H2 into stars (hereafter SFE) varies little…
