The emission in the hyperfine structure 21 cm line of atomic hydrogen arising in the halos with masses $\sim10^6-10^{10}$ M$_\odot$ from the Dark Ages in the models with Warm Dark Matter (WDM) is analysed. The halos are assumed to be formed…

Observations using the 7 mm receiver system on the Australia Telescope Compact Array have revealed large reservoirs of molecular gas in two high-redshift radio galaxies: HATLAS J090426.9+015448 (z = 2.37) and HATLAS J140930.4+003803 (z =…

We have studied the molecular hydrogen energetics of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC\,891, using a 34-position map in the lowest three pure rotational H$_2$ lines observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph. The S(0), S(1), and S(2) lines…

A systematic search for 22 GHz H2O megamaser emission is reported for 50 nearby (z < 0.15) FR I galaxies. No detection was obtained, implying that ultraluminous H2O masers (L_H2O>10^3 L_sun) must be rare in early-type galaxies with FR I…

We present the first detection of CO emission lines in the Halpha filaments at distances as far as 50 kpc from the centre of the galaxy NGC 1275. This gas is probably dense (>=10E3 cm-3). However, it is not possible to accurately determine…

We have detected emission of molecular hydrogen from a classical T Tauri star, LkHalpha 264 in the v=1-0 S(1) line at 2.122 micron. The line velocity is coincident with the rest velocity of the star. The line profile is well reproduced by a…

We report the first evidence of molecular gas in two atomic hydrogen (HI) clouds associated with gas outflowing from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We used the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) to detect and spatially resolve…

In many clusters of galaxies there is evidence for cooling flows in the central regions. The ultimate fate of the gas which cools is still unknown. A possibility is that a fraction of the gas forms cold molecular clouds. We investigate the…
