Molecular clouds in the center of M81
V. Casasola, F. Combes, D. Bettoni +1
We investigate the molecular gas content and the excitation and fragmentation properties in the central region of the spiral galaxy Messier 81 in both the ^{12}CO(1-0) and ^{12}CO(…
The GALEX UV emission in shell galaxies: tracing galaxy "rejuvenation" episodes
R. Rampazzo, A. Marino, R. Tantalo +6
We present the GALEX far FUV and near NUV ultraviolet imaging of three nearby shell galaxies, namely NGC 2865, NGC 5018 and NGC 7135. The system of shells and fine structures visib…
Molecular gas and star formation in M81
V. Casasola, F. Combes, G. Galletta +1
We present IRAM 30m observations of the central 1.6 kpc of the spiral M81 galaxy. The molecular gas appears weak and with an unusual excitation physics. We discuss a possible link…
LISA: Mars and the limits of life
G. Galletta, M. D'Alessandro, G. Bertoloni +8
We describe the results of the first tests made on LISA, a simulator of planetary environments designed and built in Padua, dedicated to the study of the limit of bacterial life on…
Are truncated stellar disks linked to the molecular gas density?
V. Casasola, F. Combes, D. Bettoni +3
We know that the slope of the radial, stellar light distribution in galaxies is well described by an exponential decline and this distribution is often truncated at a break radius…
