The Intermittent Extreme Behaviour of BL Lac 1ES 2344+514
The BL Lac object 1ES~2344+514 was one of the first sources to be included in the extreme high-peaked BL Lac (EHBL) family. EHBLs are characterised by a...
The internal dynamical equilibrium of H II regions: A statistical study
We present an analysis of the integrated Hα emission line profiles for the H SHAPE Ii region population of the spiral galaxies NGC 1530, NGC 6951 and NGC 3359...
The Internal Proper Motion Kinematics of NGC 346: Past Formation and Future Evolution
We investigate the internal kinematics of the young star-forming region NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We used two epochs of deep F555W and F814W...
The Interpretation of a 2175A Absorption Feature in the Gravitational Lens Galaxy SBS0909 + 532 at z = 0.83
Comparison of recent spectra by V. Motta et al. (V. Motta et al.: Astrophys. J. 574, 719 725) of two images of a distant gravitationally lensed quasar (z = 1.38...
The interstellar (C-12)H(+)/(C-13)H(+) ratio towards HD 26676
We present a new determination of the interstellar 12CH+/13CH+ ratio in the solar neighbourhood, based on high spectral resolution CCD observations of the CH+...
The Interstellar 12CH+/13CH+ Ratio Towards the Scorpius OB1 Association
We observed the λ 4232 Å CH+ interstellar line in the direction of the Sco OB 1 association (d ≃ 2 kpc) with the aim of detecting variations of the 12C/13C...
The Interstellar Medium in High-redshift Submillimeter Galaxies as Probed by Infrared Spectroscopy*
Submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z≳ 1 are luminous in the far-infrared, and have star formation rates, SFR, of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per year...
The interstellar medium of quiescent galaxies and its evolution with time
We characterise the basic far-IR properties and the gas mass fraction of massive (⟨log(M */M ⊙)⟩ ≈ 11.0) quiescent galaxies (QGs) and explore how these evolve...
