GSH91.5+2-114 is a large HI shell located in the outer Galaxy at a kinematic distance of about 15 kpc. It was first identified in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) by Pineault et al. (2002) as being possibly associated with objects…
The distribution of OB stars along with that of H$\alpha$, $^{12}$CO, dust infrared emission, and neutral hydrogen is carried out in order to provide a more complete picture of interactions of the young massive stars and the observed…
Massive stars have a profound effect on the surrounding interstellar medium. They ionize and heat the neutral gas, and due to their strong winds, they swept the gas up forming large HI shells. In this way, they generate a dense shell where…
We report the discovery of nineteen new HI shells in the Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS). These shells, which range in radius from 40 pc to 1 kpc, were found in the low resolution Parkes portion of the SGPS dataset, covering Galactic…
We combine several surveys at different wavelengths with intermediate-band $ uvby\beta$ photometry to examine the correlation between the location of the OB-stars in the Centaurus star-forming field and the neutral and ionized material in…
We report the detection of the HI line at 21 cm in the direction of alpha Ori with the Nancay Radiotelescope and with the Very Large Array. The observations confirm the previous detection of HI emission centered on alpha Ori, but…
We present new results of a spectroscopic survey of circumstellar HI in the direction of evolved stars made with the Nancay Radiotelescope. The HI line at 21 cm has been detected in the circumstellar shells of a variety of evolved stars:…
Data from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey reveal an abundance of HI shells and arcs in the disk of our galaxy. While their shape is suggestive of stellar winds or supernovae influence, very few of these structures have been examined in…
The WISE Catalog of Galactic HII Regions contains $\sim2000$ HII region candidates lacking ionized gas spectroscopic observations. All candidates have the characteristic HII region mid-infrared morphology of WISE $12\,\,\mu\,m$ emission…
We describe HI observations of a 4 x 4 degrees field in the Milky Way centered on l=61 deg, b=0 deg made by the Effelsberg radiotelescope. The field contains one previously identified HI supershell, GS061+00+51 (Heiles, 1979); apart from it…
A detailed 3D distribution of interstellar matter in the solar neighborhood is increasingly necessary. As part of a 3D mapping program, we aim at assigning a precise distance to the high-latitude HI gas in particular the northern part (b…
We report the radio detection of a shell-like HI structure in proximity to, and probably associated with, the nova V458 Vul. High spectral resolution observation with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope has made it possible to study the…
As part of a survey of HI 21-cm emission in the Southern Milky Way, we have detected two large shells in the interstellar neutral hydrogen near l=279 deg. The center velocities are +36 and +59 km/s, which puts the shells at kinematic…
New 21 cm HI observations have revealed a giant HI cloud in the Galactic plane that has unusual properties. It is quite well defined, about 150 pc in diameter at a distance of 5 kpc, and contains as much as 100,000 Solar Masses of atomic…
Massive stars deeply modify their surrounding ISM via their high throughput of ionizing photons and their strong stellar winds. In this way they may create large expanding structures of neutral gas. We study a new large HI shell, labelled…
The Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) is a project to image the HI line emission and 1.4 GHz continuum in the fourth quadrant of the Milky Way at high resolution using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Parkes Radio…
We report on the discovery of a new Galactic supershell, GSH 006-15+7, from the Galactic All Sky Survey data. Observed and derived properties are presented and we find that GSH 006-15+7 is one of the nearest physically large supershells…
We report the discovery of a giant HI tail in the intra-group medium of HCG 44 as part of the Atlas3D survey. The tail is ~300 kpc long in projection and contains ~5x10^8 M_sun of HI. We detect no diffuse stellar light at the location of…
We discover a large-scale shell G53.9+0.2 around the Crab-like pulsar wind nebula (PWN) G54.1+0.3 with 1420 MHz continuum VLA observations. This is confirmed by a new infrared image at 8 \mu m from the GLIMPSE Legacy Project, which reveals…
Very recently, the discovery of the largest known planetary nebula on the sky surrounding the DO white dwarf PG1034+001 with an apparent diameter of about 2 degrees, corresponding to a linear diameter of 3.5 - 7.0 pc at the likely distance…
