The JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey I. Star Forming Molecular Gas in Virgo Cluster Spiral Galaxies

C. D. Wilson, B. E. Warren, F. P. Israel +20

We present large-area maps of the CO J=3-2 emission obtained at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope for four spiral galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. We combine these data with publishe…

Detection of CI in absorption towards PKS 1830-211 with the eSMA

Sandrine Bottinelli, A. Meredith Hughes, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +10

We report the first science observations and results obtained with the "extended" SMA (eSMA), which is composed of the SMA (Submillimeter Array), JCMT (James Clerk Maxwell Telescop…

The eSMA: description and first results

Sandrine Bottinelli, Ken H. Young, Richard Chamberlin +15

The eSMA ("extended SMA") combines the SMA, JCMT and CSO into a single facility, providing enhanced sensitivity and spatial resolution owing to the increased collecting area at the…

On the atmospheric limitations of ground-based submillimetre astronomy using array receivers

E. N. Archibald, T. Jenness, W. S. Holland +7

The calibration of ground-based submillimetre observations has always been a difficult process. We discuss how to overcome the limitations imposed by the submillimetre atmosphere.…

The mass of the neutron star in Vela X-1

O. Barziv, L. Kaper, M. H. van Kerkwijk +2

We measured the radial-velocity curve of HD77581, the B-supergiant companion of the X-ray pulsar Vela X-1, using 183 high-resolution optical spectra obtained in a nine-month campai…

Very Red and Extremely Red Galaxies in the Fields of z ~ 1.5 Radio-Loud Quasars

Patrick B. Hall, Marcin Sawicki, Paul Martini +7

We previously identified an excess of mostly red galaxies around 31 RLQs at z=1-2. These fields have an ERO (extremely red object, R-K>6) density 2.7 times higher than the field. A…

Optical and Infrared photometry of the type IIn SN 1998S:Days 11-146

A. Fassia, W. P. S. Meikle, W. D. Vacca +1

We present contemporaneous optical and infrared photometric observations of the type IIn SN 1998S covering the period between 11 and 146 days after discovery. The infrared data con…

Dust in the 55 Cancri planetary system

Ray Jayawardhana, Wayne S. Holland, Jane S. Greaves +4

The presence of debris disks around 1-Gyr-old main sequence stars suggests that an appreciable amount of dust may persist even in mature planetary systems. Here we report th…
