We report millimeter/submillimeter continuum and molecular line observations of the Galactic super star cluster RCW 38, obtained from Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array with a minimum angular resolution $0''.17\times0''.15$ ($\simeq289\,{\rm AU}\times255\,{\rm AU}$). The C$^{18}$O image reveal many massive condensations embedded within filamentary structures extending along northwest-...

We present a non-iterative method to deconvolve the spatial response function or the point spread function (PSF) from images taken with the Suzaku X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS). The method is optimized for analyses of extended sources with high photon statistics. Suzaku has four XIS detectors each with its own X-ray CCD and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) and has been providing unique opportunities in...

Abstract We report on the near-infrared polarimetric observations of RCW 120 with 1.4 m IRSF telescope. The starlight polarization background stars reveals for first time magnetic field 120. global is along direction 20°, parallel to Galactic plane. strength plane sky 100 ± 26 μ G. around eastern shell shows evidence compression by H ii region. external pressure (turbulent + pressure) and gas d...

We present the initial highlights of the HOBYS key program, which are based on Herschel images of the Rosette molecular complex and maps of the RCW120 H ii region. Using both SPIRE at 250/350/500 μm and PACS at 70/160 μm or 100/160 μm, the HOBYS survey provides an unbiased and complete census of intermediateto high-mass young stellar objects, some of which are not detected by Spitzer. Key core ...

Observations with the Newton X-ray Multimirror Mission satellite show a strong periodic modulation at 6.67 +/- 0.03 hours of the x-ray source at the center of the 2000-year-old supernova remnant RCW 103. No fast pulsations are visible. If genetically tied to the supernova remnant, the source could either be an x-ray binary, composed of a compact object and a low-mass star in an eccentric orbit,...
