Detection of neutral carbon in the M 31 dark cloud D 478

Emission from the P1 − 3 P0 [CI] transition at 492 GHz has been detected towards the dark cloud D478 in the Local Group galaxy M 31. Using literature detections of the lower CO and CO transitions, models for the gas distribution in D 478 are discussed. The observed CO and C line ratios can be explained by twocomponent models (high density cores and low-density envelopes); single-density models ...

H 2 absorption in a dense interstellar filament in the Milky Way halo

We investigate interstellar absorption from molecular hydrogen (H2) and metals in an intermediatevelocity cloud (IVC) in the direction of the LMC star Sk -68 80 (HD36521), based on data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. H2 absorption from the Lymanand Werner bands is detected in 30 lines at radial velocities vLSR ≈ +50 km s −1 in this IVC that is presumably locat...

DISTANCES TO GALACTIC HIGH-VELOCITY CLOUDS. I. COHEN STREAM, COMPLEX GCP, CLOUD g1

The highand intermediate-velocity interstellar clouds (HVCs/IVCs) are tracers of energetic processes in and around the Milky Way. Clouds with near-solar metallicity about 1 kpc above the disk trace the circulation of material between disk and halo (the Galactic fountain). TheMagellanic Stream consists of gas tidally extracted from the SMC, tracing the dark matter potential of the Milky Way. Sev...

Pre-Clinical and Clinical Data Confirm the Anticancer Effect of Deuterium Depletion

The two stable isotopes of hydrogen, protium (1H) and deuterium (2H) differ in their physicochemical nature. Deuterium-depleted water (DDW) significantly inhibited the growth rate of different tumor cell lines in culture media and xenotransplanted MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinomas and PC-3 human prostate tumors in vivo. The apoptosis-triggering effect of DDW was demonstrat...

Observed Metallicity Dependence of Winds from WR stars

A review of observational evidence in favour of a metallicity dependence of WN and WC stars is presented. New near-IR studies of Milky Way, LMC and SMC early-type WN stars are presented, with weaker winds amongst WN stars containing hydrogen. A metallicity dependence is supported for WN stars with hydrogen, with dM/dt ∝ Zα with α ∼ 0.8±0.2 The influence of CNO content upon WN subtypes is discus...
