Abstract Based on observations with the IRAM 30 m and Yebes 40 telescopes, we report evidence of detection Milky Way–like, low-excitation molecular gas, up to transition CO( J = 5–4), in a distant, dusty star-forming galaxy at z CO 1.60454. WISE J122651.0+214958.8 (alias SDSS J1226, Cosmic Seahorse), is strongly lensed by foreground cluster 0.44 source magnification μ 9.5 ± 0.7. This was select...

The effect of a barred potential (such as the one of the Milky Way) on the galactic orbits of forty-eight globular clusters for which absolute proper motions are known is studied. The orbital characteristics are compared with those obtained for the case of an axisymmetric galactic potential. Tidal radii are computed and discussed for both the better known axisymmetric case and that including a ...
