نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a complete map of the Giant Molecular Clouds in M33 and show that they lie exclusively on filaments of HI. The GMCs are localized on the extended HI filaments, and HI filaments extend well beyond the radius where the GMCs are found, suggesting that the H 2 forms from the HI and not vice-versa. We propose that the fraction of neutral gas that is molecular at a particular radius is determined primarily by the ambient hydrostatic pressure at that radius. This leads to a prediction that the transition radius, the radius where the mean surface density of HI and H 2 are equal, occurs at a constant value of the stellar surface density. We show that for a sample of 26 galaxies, the stellar surface density at the transition radius is constant to 40%.

We compare the classical approach of constructing finite Postnikov systems by k-invariants and the global approach of Dwyer, Kan, and Smith. We concentrate on the case of 3-stage Postnikov pieces and provide examples where a classification is feasible. In general though the computational difficulty of the global approach is equivalent to that of the classical one.

Aspects of neutrino physics beyond the Standard Model are emphasized, including the emerging default options for atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, namely νμ → ντ and νe → νμ,τ respectively, and the need to check them, the prospects opened up by the successful starts of SNO and K2K, the opportunities for future long-baseline neutrino experiments and high-energy astrophysical neutrinos...
