We report the Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of the polarized 0.88\,mm thermal dust emission and various molecular line transitions toward the early B-type ($L_{*}\sim2\times10^{3}L_{\odot}$) star-forming region G192.16$-$3.84 (IRAS…

The detailed modelling of the spectra observed from the long GRB031203 host galaxy at different epochs during the 2003-2009 years is presented. The line profiles show FWHM of about 100 km/s. A broad line profile with FWHM < 400 km/s appears…

New observations of the Magellanic Cloud Luminous Blue Variable candidate S119 (HD269687) show the relationship of the star to its environs. Echelle spectroscopy and high-resolution HST imagery reveal an expanding bubble centered on the…

We present a statistical analysis of 132 dayside (LT 0700-1700) bow shock crossings of the AMPTE/IRM spacecraft. We perform a superposed epoch analysis of plasma and magnetic field parameters as well as of low frequency magnetic power…

Data of $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO/C$^{18}$O $J=1\to0$ emission toward the Galactic plane region of $l=35^\circ$ to $45^\circ$ and $b= -5^\circ$ to $+5^\circ$ are available with the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project. Using the…

Three dimensional (3D) distribution of the volume-density molecular fraction, defined by fmol_rho=rho_H2/(rho_HI + rho_H2), is studied in the Milky Way Galaxy. The molecular front appears at galacto-centric distance of R \sim 8 kpc, where…

We investigate the occurrence of stellar bow shocks around high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the Galaxy. We seek to conduct a survey of HMXBs in the mid-infrared to search for the presence of bow shocks around these objects. Telescopes…

We present a new set of high-resolution molecular line maps of the gas immediately surrounding various Herbig-Haro (HH) knots of the giant HH flow HH 315, from the young star PV Cephei. The observations, aimed at studying the entrainment…

The gas dynamics in the Galactic disc is modeled by releasing an initially axisymmetric SPH component in a completely self-consistent and symmetry-free 3D N-body simulation of the Milky Way in which the stellar components display a…

We present high-resolution (~ 4") 12CO (J = 1 - 0) mapping observations with high - velocity resolution (~ 2.6 km s^{-1}) toward the disk of flocculent galaxy NGC 5055, using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array in order to study the physical…

We investigate the unusual H$\alpha$ features found towards the Scutum Supershell via recent arc-minute and arc-second resolution imaging. These multi-degree features resemble a long central spine ending in a bow-shock morphology. We…

We report parallaxes and proper motions of three water maser sources in high-mass star-forming regions in the Outer Spiral Arm of the Milky Way. The observations were conducted with the Very Long Baseline Array as part of Bar and Spiral…

We have discovered a bow shock shaped mid-infrared excess region in front of delta Velorum using 24 micron observations obtained with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). The excess has been classified as a debris disk from…

We report discoveries of bow-shock nebulae, seen in Halpha and [O III] 5007, around two cataclysmic variables (CVs): LS Pegasi and ASASSN-V J205457.73+515731.9 (hereafter ASASJ2054). Additionally, both stars lie near the edges of faint…

[Abridged] The Owens Valley mm-Array has been used to map the CO 1--0 emission in the inner 2'.5 of the grand design spiral galaxy M51 at 2''-3'' resolution. The molecular spiral arms are revealed with unprecedented clarity: supermassive…

We present observational data of a molecular line survey toward the nearby galaxies NGC 1068, NGC 253, and IC 342 at the wavelengths of 3 mm ($\sim$85--116 GHz) obtained with the Nobeyama 45 m radio telescope. In IC 342 the line survey with…

The rotation curve for the IV galactic quadrant, within the solar circle, is derived from the Columbia University - U. de Chile CO(J=1-0) survey of molecular gas. A new sampling, four times denser in longitude than in our previous analysis,…

We report on the global structure of the Milky Way (MW) stellar halo up to its outer boundary based on the analysis of blue-horizontal branch stars (BHBs). These halo tracers are extracted from the $(g,r,i,z)$ band multi-photometry in the…

Using one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations including interstellar heating, cooling, and thermal conduction, we investigate nonlinear evolution of gas flow across galactic spiral arms. We model the gas as a non-self-gravitating,…
