Torsionally excited methanol in massive young stellar objects: The role of the mid-IR radiation field
C. Sanna, S. Leurini, A. Giannetti +9
Observing the earliest stages of high-mass star formation in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) is challenging because the extinction is high and the resolution limited. Millimeter vibratio…
Sardinia Radio Telescope observations of Local Group dwarf galaxies -- I. The cases of NGC6822, IC1613, and WLM
A. Tarchi, P. Castangia, G. Surcis +10
Almost all dwarf galaxies in the Local Group that are not satellites of the Milky Way or M31, belong to either one of two highly-symmetric planes. It is still a matter of debate, w…
Characterising the high-mass star forming filament G351.776--0.527 with Herschel and APEX dust continuum and gas observations
S. Leurini, E. Schisano, T. Pillai +13
G351.776-0.527 is among the most massive, closest, and youngest filaments in the inner Galactic plane and therefore it is an ideal laboratory to study the kinematics of dense gas a…
The Sardinia Radio Telescope: From a Technological Project to a Radio Observatory
I. Prandoni, M. Murgia, A. Tarchi +43
[Abridged] The Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT) is the new 64-m dish operated by INAF (Italy). Its active surface will allow us to observe at frequencies of up to 116 GHz. At the mom…
Pulsar observations with European telescopes for testing gravity and detecting gravitational waves
D. Perrodin, C. G. Bassa, G. H. Janssen +20
A background of nanohertz gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries could soon be detected by pulsar timing arrays, which measure the times-of-arrival of radio puls…
Modelling extragalactic extinction through gamma-ray burst afterglows
Alberto Zonca, Cesare Cecchi-Pestellini, Giacomo Mulas +2
We analyze extragalactic extinction profiles derived through gamma-ray burst afterglows, using a dust model specifically constructed on the assumption that dust grains are not immu…
Sardinia Radio Telescope wide-band spectral-polarimetric observations of the galaxy cluster 3C 129
M. Murgia, F. Govoni, E. Carretti +27
We present new observations of the galaxy cluster 3C 129 obtained with the Sardinia Radio Telescope in the frequency range 6000-7200 MHz, with the aim to image the large-angular-sc…
Modelling dust extinction in the Magellanic Clouds
Alberto Zonca, Silvia Casu, Giacomo Mulas +2
We model the extinction profiles observed in the Small and Large Magellanic clouds with a synthetic population of dust grains consisting by core-mantle particles and a collection o…
Formation Pumping of Molecular Hydrogen in Dark Clouds
Farahjabeen Islam, Cesare Cecchi-Pestellini, Serena Viti +1
Many theoretical and laboratory studies predict H2 to be formed in highly excited ro-vibrational states. The consequent relaxation of excited levels via a cascade of infrared trans…
