Discovery of distant high luminosity infrared galaxies

Paul P. van der Werf, D. L. Clements, P. A. Shaver +1

We have developed a method for selecting the most luminous galaxies detected by IRAS based on their extreme values of R, the ratio of 60 micron and B-band luminosity. These objects…

High Velocity Clouds: Building Blocks of the Local Group

Leo Blitz, David N. Spergel, Peter J. Teuben +2

We suggest that the high--velocity clouds (HVCs) are large clouds, with typical diameters of 25 kpc and containing 5e7 solar masses of neutral gas and 3e8 solar masses of dark matt…

Molecular Cloud Structure in the Magellanic Clouds: Effect of Metallicity

Soojong Pak, D. T. Jaffe, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +2

The chemical structure of neutral clouds in low metallicity environments is examined with particular emphasis on the H to H_2 and C+ to CO transitions. We observed near-IR H_2 line…
