M 31 ’ s molecular arms at all scales to below 10 pc

چکیده
I present a unique data set for the study of molecular gas in galaxies: a complete, high-resolution survey of the CO in M31 and additional local studies. The fully sampled survey has an angular resolution of 23 FWHM and the interferometric data attain the pc-scale with subarcsecond resolution. For the first time it is now possible to study large and small scales in conjunction. Thus we are able to derive the global structure and study the links down to the individual cloud complexes and star formation regions.

Warm Ionized Medium throughout the Sagittariusâ•fiCarina Arm
Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper observations of Hαand [S II]λ6716 emission are used to trace the vertical distribution and physical conditions of the warm ionized medium along the Sagittarius–Carina arm. CO emission, tracing cold molecular gas in the plane of the Galaxy, is used as a guide to isolate Hαand [S II]λ6716 emission along individual spiral arms. Exponential scale heights of electron den...
متن کاملPlant traits with different dimensions of shrubs represent different spatial patterns and plant-to-plant interactions in a temperate desert.
Projective cover (PC) and aboveground biomass (AGB) are the key traits with space attributes of individual plants. They are crucial to the understanding of the plant dynamics and plant patterns at population level. Spatial patterns based on individual plant positions (IND) have been extensively investigated in previous studies. However, very few have focused on PC and AGB. We tested the hypothe...
متن کاملTopology of HI Gas Distribution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We have analyzed the H I aperture synthesis image of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using an objective and quantitative measure of topology to understand the H I distribution hosting a number of holes and clumps of various sizes in the medium. The H I distribution shows different topology at four different chosen scales. At the smallest scales explored (19 ∼ 29 pc), the H I mass is distribut...

Taking into account the high potential of cyanobacteria to tolerate salinity stress, researches have evaluated the morphological and physiological behavior of these microorganisms in recent years. This study is conducted to investigate the impact of different concentrations of NaCl on the morphological and physiological traits of Nostoc sp. ISC 101. Biometrical and morphological observations ar...
متن کاملRadio Polarimetry in the Southern Galactic Plane Survey
We present radio polarimetric observations of a region spanning 325.5◦ < l < 332.5, −0.5◦ < b < 3.5, used as a test region for the Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) [1]. The SGPS is a radio survey in the Southern Galactic plane in HI and polarized continuum at 9 frequencies around 1.4 GHz, performed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Parkes 64m dish [2]. Ubiquitous st...
