Pulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملCold dust in the Andromeda Galaxy mapped by ISO ?
A complete 175 μm map of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) at 1.′3 resolution shows the distribution of cold dust. It is dominated by a ring at 10 kpc radius supplemented by a faint outer one at 14 kpc. No clear spiral pattern is recognisable. The azimuthally averaged radial brightness profile is rather flat within the 10 kpc ring and decreases exponentially outside thereof, discernible down to a brig...
متن کاملTracing Molecular Gas in the Andromeda Galaxy
We present results from an Andromeda Galaxy (M31) survey of star-forming regions based on 24 μm luminosity for H2O masers, NH3(1,1) and NH3(2,2) lines, and Hydrogen recombination lines (H66α). Although five H2O masers were detected in the initial survey of 206 regions towards M31, we do not detect additional masers in a follow up survey of 300 similar luminous 24 μm regions. We do not detect NH...
متن کاملMolecular gas in the Andromeda galaxy
We present a new 12CO(J=1–0)–line survey of the Andromeda galaxy, M 31, with the highest resolution to date (23, or 85 pc along the major axis), observed On-the-Fly with the IRAM 30-m telescope. We mapped an area of about 2 ×0. 5 which was tightly sampled on a grid of 9 with a velocity resolution of 2.6 km s−1. The r.m.s. noise in the velocity-integrated map is around 0.35 K km s−1 on the Tmb-s...
متن کاملGiant Molecular Clouds in the Dwarf Galaxy NGC 1569
We present CO 1→0 and 2→1 observations of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 1569 with the IRAM interferometer on Plateau de Bure. We find the CO emission is not spatially associated with the two super star clusters in the galaxy, but rather is found in the vicinity of an HII region. With the resolution of our data, we can resolve the CO emission into five distinct giant molecular clouds, four are ...
