چکیده
We report on preliminary results from a new deep 21-cm survey of the Andromeda galaxy, based on observations performed with the Synthesis Telescope and the 26-m antenna at DRAO. The HI distribution and kinematics of the disc are analyzed and basic dynamical properties are derived. New HI structures are discovered, like thin HI spur-like structures and an external arm in the disc outskirts. The HI spurs are related to perturbed stellar clumps outside the main disc of M31. The external arm lies on the far, receding side of the galaxy and has no obvious counterpart in the opposite side. These HI perturbations probably result from tidal interactions with companions. It is found a dynamical mass of (3.9± 0.3)× 1011 M⊙ enclosed within a radius R = 36 kpc and a total mass of ∼ 7.9×1011 M⊙ inside the virial radius.

The 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North survey provides the deepest view of the Universe in the 0.5–8.0 keV X-ray band. In this brief review we investigate the diversity of X-ray selected sources and focus on the constraints placed on AGNs (including binary AGNs) in high-redshift submm galaxies.
متن کاملThe VIRMOS deep imaging survey : III . ESO / WFI deep U - band imaging of the 0226 - 04 deep field . ⋆
In this paper we describe the U−band imaging of the F02 deep field, one of the fields in the VIRMOS Deep Imaging Survey. The observations were done at the ESO/MPG 2.2m telescope at La Silla (Chile) using the 8k × 8k Wide-Field Imager (WFI). The field is centered at α(J2000)=02 h 26 m 00 s and δ(J2000)=-04 • 30 ′ 00 ′′ , the total covered area is 0.9 deg 2 and the limiting magnitude (50% complet...

We discuss the first results from ongoing studies of the resolved stellar populations in the outskirts of our nearest large neighbour, M31. Deep HST/WFPC2 archival observations are used to construct colour-magnitude-diagrams which reach well below the horizontal branch at selected locations in the outer disk and halo, while a panoramic ground-based imaging survey maps spatial density variations...

The qq spectrum is studied within a chiral constituent quark model. It provides with a good fit of the available experimental data from light (vector and pseudoscalar) to heavy mesons. The new D states measured at different factories are studied. The 0 ++ light mesons are analyzed as q ¯ q pairs or tetraquark structures.

We present the first µSR measurements ever performed on elemental Pu, and set the most stringent upper limits to date on the magnitude of the ordered moment µ ord in α-Pu and δ-stabilized Pu (alloyed with 4.3 at. % Ga). Assuming a nominal hyperfine coupling field of 1 kOe/µB we find µ ord ≤ 10 −3 µB at T ∼ = 4 K.
