Compact galaxy groups are ideal laboratories for studying the effects of interactions between AGN and multiple nearby galaxies. Recent JWST observations of the nearby compact group Stephan's Quintet highlight tidal flows between the…
We present ISO observations of several H2 pure-rotational lines (from S(0) to S(5)) towards a sample of 16 molecular clouds distributed along the central ~ 500 pc of the Galaxy. We also present C18O and 13CO J=1->0 and J=2->1 observations…
We have detected the v=1-0 S(1) (2.1218 um) and v=2-1 S(1) (2.2477 um) lines of H_2 in the Galactic centre, in a 90 x 27 arcsec region between the northeastern boundary of the non-thermal source, Sgr A East, and the giant molecular cloud…
We present near-infrared and millimetre-line observations of the Tornado nebula (G357.7-0.1). We detected 2.12 micron_m H2 1-0 S(1) line emission towards the suspected site of interaction with a molecular cloud revealed by the presence of…
Using the Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) onboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), we have observed thermal water vapor emission from a roughly circular field of view approximately 75 arc seconds in diameter centered on the Orion…
We present optical integral field spectroscopy of the H-alpha-luminous (>1E42 erg/s) central cluster galaxies in the cores of the cooling flows A1664, A1835, A2204 and Zw8193. From the [NII]+H-alpha complex we derive 2-D views of the…
We present the first interferometric evidence of CO(1-0) emission in the intragroup starburst (IGS) region of HCG~92 (Stephan's Quintet). BIMA's large primary beam covers fully both the IGS region and the dominant group member galaxy…
We have mapped with the IRAM interferometer at Plateau de Bure (PdBI) the 12CO emission towards intergalactic star forming regions located in the tidal tail stemming from NGC7319, in the Stephan's Quintet compact group of galaxies. The 13CO…
We report the detection of quiescent H2 emission in a spatially resolved ring-like structure within 100 AU of T Tau N. We present evidence to show that the emission most likely arises from shocks in the atmosphere of a nearly face-on disk…
Here I describe recent studies of objects with molecular hydrogen emission that is strong relative to other spectral lines. Large telescopes and fast spectrometers have made the 2 {\mu}m window accessible even for relatively faint objects.…
We present ALMA Cycle 4 observations of CO(1-0), CO(3-2), and $^{13}$CO(3-2) line emission in the brightest cluster galaxy of RXJ0821+0752. This is one of the first detections of $^{13}$CO line emission in a galaxy cluster. Half of the…
We report here on the first proper motion measurements of molecular hydrogen emission features in the Herbig-Haro 46/47 outflow. Assuming a distance of 350 pc to this flow, the inferred tangential velocities range from a few tens to almost…
We detect near-infrared H2 emission in DG Tau using the Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (IRCS) on the 8.2-m SUBARU telescope. The spectra obtained along the jet axis show that the centroidal position of the 1-0 S(1) emission is offset by…
We report the detection of H_2, CI, CI*, CI** and Cl I lines in a near Solar-metallicity ([Zn/H]=-0.13) damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) system at z_abs=1.962 observed on the line of sight to the quasar Q 0551-366. The iron-peak elements, X=Fe, Cr…
We present the first detection of hydrogen chlorine in a protostellar shock, by observing the fundamental transition at 626 GHz with the Herschel HIFI spectrometer. We detected two of the three hyperfine lines, from which we derived a line…
We have investigated the ionisation structure of the post-shock regions of magnetic cataclysmic variables using an analytic density and temperature structure model in which effects due to bremsstrahlung and cyclotron cooling are considered.…
We present J, H and K-band spectroscopy of Cygnus A, spanning 1.0-2.4 micron in the rest-frame and hence several rovibrational H2, H recombination and [FeII] emission lines. The lines are spatially extended by up to 6kpc from the nucleus,…
The results of interferometric observations of the star-forming region S255IR in the frequency range 210--250 GHz are presented. The observations were carried out with the antenna array SMA (Hawaii, USA). Fifty-three molecules were…
Stellar mergers produce explosive outflows that serve as transient sources of IR line luminosity and inject mechanical energy early into the natal molecular cloud. We present the first velocity-resolved maps of the [O I] 63 and 145 um…
Molecular hydrogen line radiation emitted in formation events of first-generation stars are evaluated in a discussion of its detectability by future observational facilities. H_2 luminosity evolution from the onset of prestellar collapse…
