Observations of a broad area at the core of M82, obtained with spatial resolution 30 arcsec and velocity resolution 15.6 km/sec in the J = 2-1 line of CO using...
The Long Bar in the Milky Way. Corroboration of an Old Hypothesis
Recent GLIMPSE data analysed by Benjamin et al. (2005) have further confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of an in-plane long bar that is different from the...
Our Galaxy seems to own, in addition with the oblate outer bulge (see poster of Picaud, Chereul and Robin) a longer and thiner in-plane bar (Lopez Carredoira...
The Long Wavelength Array: A Ground-Based Coronal Mass Ejection Detector
We describe the Long Wavelength Array (LWA), a ground-based radio interferometer capable of serving as a coronal mass ejection (CME) detector. Previous low...
The question whether stellar bars are either transitory features or long-lived structures is still matter of debate. This problem is more acute for double...
The longest stellar dance inside a planetary nebula
The importance of long-period binaries for the formation and evolution of planetary nebulae is still rather poorly understood, which in part is due to the lack...
