Formation and evolution of the Magellanic Clouds. I.Origin of structural, kinematical, and chemical properties of the Large Magellanic Cloud

K. Bekki, M. Chiba

We investigate the dynamical and chemical evolution of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) interacting with the Galaxy and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on a series of self-c…

Discovery of a Large-scale Wall in the Direction of Abell 22

Kevin A. Pimbblet, Alastair C. Edge, Warrick J. Couch

We report on the discovery of a large-scale wall in the direction of Abell 22. Using photometric and spectroscopic data from the Las Campanas Observatory and Anglo-Australian Teles…

Limits on variations in fundamental constants from 21-cm and ultraviolet quasar absorption lines

P. Tzanavaris, J. K. Webb, M. T. Murphy +2

Quasar absorption spectra at 21-cm and UV rest-wavelengths are used to estimate the time variation of x=alpha^2 g_p mu, where alpha is the fine structure constant, g_p the proton g…

How Dry is the Brown Dwarf Desert?: Quantifying the Relative Number of Planets, Brown Dwarfs and Stellar Companions around Nearby Sun-like Stars

Daniel Grether, Charles H. Lineweaver

Sun-like stars have stellar, brown dwarf and planetary companions. To help constrain their formation and migration scenarios, we analyse the close companions (orbital period < 5 ye…

Star-forming protoclusters associated with methanol masers

V. Minier, M. G. Burton, T. Hill +5

We present a multiwavelength study of five methanol maser sites which are not directly associated with a strong ( mJy) radio continuum source: G 31.28+0.06, G 59.78+0.06, G 1…

Massive HI clouds with no optical counterparts as high-density regions of intragroup HI rings and arcs

K. Bekki, B. S. Koribalski, S. D. Ryder +1

We present a new scenario in which massive intragroup HI clouds are the high-density parts of large HI rings/arcs formed by dynamical interaction between galaxy groups and gas-rich…
