Data-Driven Discoveries: Pushing Visualization Research Further

Data visualization is ubiquitous in today’s society. In the last decade, research in the field has increased tremendously, and the research community has pushed the state of the art in many novel directions. In 2014, the IEEE VIS Conference celebrated its 25th year and grew to incorporate new symposia on large-scale data analysis and visualization (LDAV) and biological visualizations (BioVis). ...

Further Discoveries of CO in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

Using the IRAM 30m telescope we have obtained seven new, deep CO J(1−0) and J(2−1) observations of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. Five of the galaxies have no CO detected to extremely low limits (0.1 – 0.4 K km s−1 at J(1−0)), while two of the galaxies, UGC 01922 and UGC 12289, have clear detections in both line transitions. When these observations are combined with all previous CO obse...
