Context. Recently, unanticipated magnetic activity in ultracool dwarfs (UCDs, spectral classes later than M7) has emerged from a number of radio observations...
Models for the interpretation of CaT and the blue spectral indices in elliptical nuclei
We present a grid of theoretical models where the calculation of absorption line spectral indices in both the blue and red wavelength ranges is done with the...
Moderately misaligned orbit of the warm sub-Saturn HD 332231 b
Measurements of exoplanetary orbital obliquity angles for different classes of planets are an essential tool in testing various planet formation theories...
Molecular gas and star formation within 12 strong galactic bars observed with IRAM-30 m
Context. While some galactic bars show recent massive star formation (SF) along them, some others do not. Whether bars with low level of SF are a consequence of...
Molecular gas in low-metallicity starburst galaxies:. Scaling relations and the CO-to-H2 conversion factor
Context. Tracing the molecular gas-phase in low-mass star-forming galaxies becomes extremely challenging due to significant UV photo-dissociation of CO...
Molecular gas in the Herschel-selected strongly lensed submillimeter galaxies at z 2-4 as probed by multi-J CO lines
We present the IRAM-30 m observations of multiple-J CO (Jup mostly from 3 up to 8) and [C I](3P2 → 3P1) ([C I](2-1) hereafter) line emission in a sample of...
Molecular gas observations and enhanced massive star formation efficiencies in M 100.
We present new J=1->0 ^12^CO observations along the northern spiral arm of the grand-design spiral galaxy M 100 (NGC 4321), and study the distribution of...
Molecular line emission in NGC 1068 imaged with ALMA. I. An AGN-driven outflow in the dense molecular gas
Aims: We investigate the fueling and the feedback of star formation and nuclear activity in NGC 1068, a nearby (D = 14 Mpc) Seyfert 2 barred galaxy, by...
MOLPOP-CEP: an exact, fast code for multi-level systems
We present MOLPOP-CEP, a universal line transfer code that allows the exact calculation of multi-level line emission from a slab with variable physical...
