Deep submillimeter (submm) continuum imaging observations of the starburst galaxy M82 are presented at 350, 450, 750 and 850μm wavelengths, that were undertaken with the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii. The presented maps include a co-addition of submm data mined from the SCUBA Data Archive. The co-added data produce the deepest s...

M 82 is a unique representative of a whole class of galaxies, starbursts with superwinds, in the Very Nearby Galaxy Survey with Herschel. In addition, its interaction with the M 81 group has stripped a significant portion of its interstellar medium from its disk. SPIRE maps now afford better characterization of the far-infrared emission from cool dust outside the disk, and sketch a far more com...

We observed the nearby starburst galaxy M82 in CO in the higher frequency (2–1) transition to achieve an angular resolution below 1 arc second or 17 pc at the target. We resolved the molecular gas into a large number of compact clouds, with masses ranging from ∼ 2 × 10 to 2 × 10 M⊙. The mass spectrum scales as N(M) ∝ M, similar to the mass spectra of young massive star clusters suggesting that ...

Emission spectra of hot accretion disks characteristic of advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) models are investigated for comparison with the brightest ultra-luminous source, X-1, in the galaxy M82. If the spectral state of the source is similar to the low luminosity hard state of stellar mass black holes in our Galaxy, a fit to the Chandra X-ray spectrum and constraints from the radio an...

Mutations in the unc-82 locus of Caenorhabditis elegans were previously identified by screening for disrupted muscle cytoskeleton in otherwise apparently normal mutagenized animals. Here we demonstrate that the locus encodes a serine/threonine kinase orthologous to human ARK5/SNARK (NUAK1/NUAK2) and related to the PAR-1 and SNF1/AMP-Activated kinase (AMPK) families. The predicted 1600-amino-aci...

the jirds, meriones persicus and m. libycus are two widespread species in iran. meriones libycus can be found in low lands of deserts and semi desert areas, but meriones persicus in high rocky regions of khorasan. in this research 190 skulls belonging to meriones persicus and meriones libycus of northeast of iran were at first identified on the basis of morphologic characters, and then were div...

In this paper, we consider the steady-state queue length distribution of the GI/G/1/K queue. As a result, we obtain transform-free expressions for the steady-state queue length distributions at an arrival, at a departure and at an arbitrary time, all in product forms. The results are obtained by what we call the decomposed Little’s formula, which applies the Little’s formula W L λ = to the n wa...

The last tidal encounter between M82 and M81, some 500 Myr ago, had a major impact on what was probably an otherwise normal, quiescent disc galaxy. It caused a concentrated burst of star formation in the form of massive star clusters, which decreased rapidly, within a few 100 Myr. The current starburst in the centre of the galaxy is likely either due to large-scale propagating star formation or...

The recent detection of a young pulsar powering " the Mouse " , G359.23–0.82, as well as detailed imaging of surrounding nebular X-ray emission, have motivated us to investigate the structural details and polarization characteristics of the radio emission from this axisymmetric source with a supersonic bow shock. Using polarization data at 3.6 and 6cm, we find that the magnetic field wraps arou...
