Dissipation of Magnetic Fields in the Galactic Halo

F. Zimmer, H. Lesch, G. T. Birk

This paper shows that magnetic reconnection could be an important heating process in cosmic gases. In any volume where magnetized plasmas collide, the dissipation of magnetic energ…

What perturbs NGC 2188?

H. Domgorgen, M. Dahlem, R. -J. Dettmar

VLA HI observations of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 2188 show that the gas and stars have spatial distributions which are substantially different. One end of the optical disk is…

Globular cluster systems of early--type galaxies in Fornax

M. Kissler-Patig, S. Kohle, M. Hilker +3

We studied the properties of the globular cluster systems of five early--type galaxies in the Fornax galaxy cluster: NGC 1374, NGC 1379, NGC 1387, NGC 1427, and the central giant e…

CIV absorption from hot gas inside supergiant shell LMC4 observed with HST and IUE

D. J. Bomans, K. S. de Boer, J. Koornneef +1

High resolution ultraviolet spectra with HST-GHRS of two stars in the direction of the supergiant shell LMC4 unambiguously show absorption by substantial quantities of CIV gas at v…

Molecular abundances in the Magellanic Clouds I. A multiline study of five cloud cores

Y. -N. Chin, C. Henkel, J. B. Whiteoak +3

Nine HII regions of the LMC were mapped in 13CO(1--0) and three in 12CO(1--0) to study the physical properties of the interstellar medium in the Magellanic Clouds. For N113 the mol…

The distance of the Fornax Cluster based on Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions

Sven Kohle, Markus Kissler-Patig, Michael Hilker +3

We present Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions for four ellipticals and one S0-Galaxy in the Fornax cluster of galaxies, derived from CCD photometry in V and I. The averaged turn…

Neutrino Trapping in a Supernova and Ion Screening

C. J. Horowitz

Neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering is reduced in dense matter because of correlations between ions. The static structure factor for a plasma of electrons and ions is calculated fr…
