For decades, Luxembourg did without a national university. Before and after the University of Luxembourg’s founding (UL) (2003), tertiary education status being Luxembourgish student have been closely linked to international mobility (ISM). This long-standing tradition was maintained in new university via compulsory ISM: bolster elite European networks internationalization. Focusing on ISM from...

We present Arecibo L-band Feed Array 21-cm observations of a sub-complex of HVCs at the tip of the Anti-Center Complex. These observations show morphological details that point to interaction with the ambient halo medium and differential drag within the cloud sub-complex. We develop a new technique for measuring cloud distances, which relies upon these observed morphological and kinematic chara...

The first FUV (λλ 1350–1750Å) spectral imaging observations of the Eridanus superbubble, obtained with the SPEAR/FIMS mission, have revealed distinct fluorescent emission from molecular hydrogen. In this study, the observed emission features were compared with those from a photo-dissociation region model with assumed illuminating stellar fields. The result showed rather high line ratios of I158...

A recent submillimeter line survey of Orion KL claimed detection of SiH. This paper reports on GBT observations of the 5.7 GHz Λ-doubling transitions of SiH in Orion. Many recombination lines, including C164δ, are seen, but SiH is not detected. The nondetection corresponds to an upper limit of 1.5×1015 cm−2 (4σ) for the beam-averaged column density of SiH. This suggests that the fractional abun...

We show analytically that large abundances of NH2D and NHD2 can be produced by gas phase chemistry in the interiors of cold dense clouds. The calculated fractionation ratios are in good agreement with the values that have been previously determined in L134N and suggest that triply-deuterated ammonia could be detectable in dark clouds. Grain surface reactions may lead to similar NH2D and NHD2 en...

In this Letter, we present the first results from updated models of interstellar deuterium chemistry that now include all possible deuterated isotopomers of . We find that in regions of high density and heavy depletion, such as H3 prestellar cores, the inclusion of HD and D enhances the fractionation of ionic and neutral species significantly. 2 3 Our models are the first to predict the very hi...

The propagation of a shock wave into an interstellar medium is investigated by two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic calculation with cooling, heating and thermal conduction. We present results of the high-resolution two-dimensional calculations to follow the fragmentation due to the thermal instability in a shock-compressed layer. We find that geometrically thin cooling layer behind the shock...

[1] A thermomechanical ice sheet model (ISM) is used to investigate the sensitivity of the Laurentide and Fennoscandian ice sheets to tropical sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations during deglaciation. The ISM is driven by surface temperature and precipitation fields from three different atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). For each AGCM, the responses in temperature and precip...
