We present the first 850 $\mu$m polarization observations in most active star-forming site of Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC, $d\sim$1.6 kpc) wall Nebula, imaged with SCUBA-2/POL-2 instruments JCMT, as part B-Fields In Star-Forming Region Observations 2 (BISTRO-2) survey. From POL-2 data we find that fraction decreases continuum intensity $\alpha$ = 0.49 $\pm$ 0.08 $p \propto I^{\rm -\alpha}$ rel...

A 2-hour service-mode SCUBA observation of the gravitationally-lensed Lyman break galaxy MS 1512–cB58 resulted in a 3σ upper limit of 3.9 mJy at 850μm. A comparison of this upper limit with values expected from rest-UV/optical measurements of extiction suggests that dust temperature (Td) and/or emissivity index (β) in cB58 may be substantially higher than is seen in local galaxies, or that the ...

We present detailed fits of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of four submillimeter (submm) galaxies selected by the presence of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) event (GRBs 980703, 000210, 000418 and 010222). These faint ∼ 3 mJy submm emitters at redshift ∼ 1 are characterized by an unusual combination of longand short-wavelength properties, namely enhanced submm and/or radio emission combined w...

Submillimetre maps of NGC 891 have been obtained with the PRONAOS balloonborne telescope and with the ISOPHOT instrument on board the ISO satellite. In this article, we also gather data from IRAS and SCUBA to present the complete submillimetre spectrum of this nearby edge-on spiral galaxy. We derive submillimetre emission profiles along the major axis. The modified blackbody fits, assuming a si...

The problems encountered during scuba diving may be a contributing factor in an episode of decompression illness (DCI). Evidence exists that there may be a relationship between the position in the menstrual cycle and the occurrence of DCI. We examined, by prospective observation in female recreational scuba divers, any interaction between reported problems during diving (RPDD) and the position ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Scuba diving may cause severe hearing loss and vertigo due to inner ear barotrauma and decompression sickness. These may be difficult to differentiate clinically. Decompression sickness requires costly and potentially dangerous hyperbaric therapy, whereas such treatment may worsen barotrauma. The objective of this study was to assess the potential utility of magnetic reson...

In this paper we analyze nine SCUBA cores in Ophiuchus using the secondlowest rotational transitions of four molecular species (CO, CO, CO, and CO) to search for clues to the evolutionary state and star-formation activity within each core. Specifically, we look for evidence of outflows, infall, and CO depletion. The line wings in the CO spectra are used to detect outflows, spectral asymmetries ...
