- Description:
- We present the results of twenty-year observations of a complete sample of 68 flat-spectrum radio sources with flux densities S3.9GHz>200mJy carried out at centimeter wavelengths with the RATAN-600 radio telescope. Since 1995, we have observed simultaneously at six frequencies between 0.97 and 21.7GHz. Of the 56 sources identified with optical objects, 41 are quasars with redshifts between 0.293 and 3.263. Based on our analysis of the spectral shapes, we divide the sources into four classes. Changes of spectral class for individual sources are fairly rare. Based on the light curves and spectra, in most cases,a flare's evolution is in accordance with a model in which the variations result from the evolution of a shock in the radio jet. The main result of our study is that there is no redshift dependence for the true linear sizes of the radiating regions, the variability indices derived for all 20 years of data or for individual flares, or the peak frequencies of the spectra of the compact radio emission. We suggest that this testifies to an absence of cosmological evolution of the sample quasars, at least to z~3.

- Description:
- In this report we present the results of observations of a complete sample of sources from the PMN Survey. The adopted selection criteria were: flux density >200mJy at the PMN Survey frequency 4.8GHz; 0h<RA<24h; -21{deg}<=Dec<=-17{deg}; |b|>=10(deg} to exclude the galactic plane. Five runs of observations were accomplished in 1995-1996. The observations were made at 0.96, 2.3, 3.9, 7.7 and 11.2GHz at the RATAN-600 radio telescope. For all sources of the sample, flux densities at five frequencies and their simultaneous spectra were determined, accuracies in RA were improved 5-10 times. Identifications with data from the Texas Survey were performed.

- Description:
- We have studied four complex organic molecules (COMs), the oxygen-bearing methyl formate (CH_3_OCHO) and dimethyl ether (CH_3_OCH_3_) as well as the nitrogen-bearing formamide (NH_2_CHO) and ethyl cyanide (C_2_H_5_CN), towards a large sample of 39 high-mass star-forming regions representing different evolutionary stages, from early to evolved phases. We aim to identify potential correlations and chemical links between the molecules and to trace their evolutionary sequence through the star formation process. We analysed spectra obtained at 3, 2, and 0.9mm with the IRAM-30m telescope. We derived the main physical parameters for each species by fitting the molecular lines. We compared them and evaluated their evolution while also taking several other interstellar environments into account. We report detections in 20 sources, revealing a clear dust absorption effect on column densities. Derived abundances range between ~10^-10^-10^-7^ for CH_3_OCHO and CH_3_OCH_3_, ~10^-12^-10^-10^ for NH_2_CHO, and ~10^-11^-10^-9^ for C_2_H_5_CN. The abundances of CH3OCHO, CH3OCH3, and C2H5CN are very strongly correlated (r>=0.92) across 4 orders of magnitude.We note that CH_3_OCHO and CH_3_OCH_3_ show the strongest correlations in most parameters, and a nearly constant ratio (1) over a remarkable 9 orders of magnitude in luminosity for the following wide variety of sources: pre-stellar to evolved cores, low- to high-mass objects, shocks, Galactic clouds, and comets. This indicates that COMs chemistry is likely early developed and then preserved through evolved phases. Moreover, the molecular abundances clearly increase with evolution, covering 6 orders of magnitude in the luminosity/mass ratio. We consider CH_3_OCHO and CH_3_OCH_3_ to be most likely chemically linked. They could, for example, share a common precursor, or be formed one from the other. Based on correlations, ratios, and the evolutionary trend, we propose a general scenario for all COMs, involving a formation in the cold, earliest phases of star formation and a following increasing desorption with the progressive thermal and shock-induced heating of the evolving core.

- Composite CO Survey of the Milky Way
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This survey consists of CO(J=1-0) (115 GHz) spectra for the entire Galactic plane. The latitude coverage varies with longitude and in some regions extends from -25 degrees to +25 degrees. The observations were made with the Columbia/GISS 1.2m telescope in New York City, and a twin telescope on Cerro Tololo in Chile. The angular resolution of the survey is 30' (square), the velocity resolution is 1.3km/s and the sensitivity ranges from about 0.1K/chan to 0.35K/chan. The survey is presented as 720 latitude-velocity maps in FITS format, one for each 30' of longitude from -180.0 deg to +179.5 deg, and one velocity-integrated map covering the entire plane. The velocity range of each file is -300 km/s to +300 km/s. The survey has been updated to include some additional data, more careful reprojections of the regions that were originally mapped in equatorial coordinates, and improved estimates of the absolute calibration of the CO intensities (Digel and Dame 1995, unpublished).

- Description:
- We carried out a large program with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA): "THOR: The HI, OH, Recombination line survey of the Milky Way". We observed a significant portion of the Galactic plane in the first quadrant of the Milky Way in the 21cm HI line, 4 OH transitions, 19 radio recombination lines, and continuum from 1 to 2GHz. In this paper we present a catalog of the continuum sources in the first half of the survey (l=14.0-37.9{deg} and l=47.1-51.2{deg}, |b|<1.1{deg}) at a spatial resolution of 10-25", depending on the frequency and sky position with a spatially varying noise level of ~0.3-1mJy/beam. The catalog contains ~4400 sources. Around 1200 of these are spatially resolved, and ~1000 are possible artifacts, given their low signal-to-noise ratios. Since the spatial distribution of the unresolved objects is evenly distributed and not confined to the Galactic plane, most of them are extragalactic. Thanks to the broad bandwidth of the observations from 1 to 2GHz, we are able to determine a reliable spectral index for ~1800 sources. The spectral index distribution reveals a double-peaked profile with maxima at spectral indices of alpha=-1 and alpha=0, corresponding to steep declining and flat spectra, respectively. This allows us to distinguish between thermal and non-thermal emission, which can be used to determine the nature of each source. We examine the spectral index of ~300 known HII regions, for which we find thermal emission with spectral indices around alpha=0. In contrast, supernova remnants (SNR) show non-thermal emission with alpha=-0.5 and extragalactic objects generally have a steeper spectral index of alpha=-1. Using the spectral index information of the THOR survey, we investigate potential SNR candidates. We classify the radiation of four SNR candidates as non-thermal, and for the first time, we provide strong evidence for the SNR origin of these candidates.

- Description:
- We present ^12^CO(J=1-0) line observations of 99 galaxies obtained with the SEST 15m, the Kitt Peak 12m and the IRAM 30m telescopes. The target galaxies were selected from the catalogue of isolated galaxies of Karachentseva (1973, Cat. <VII/82>). These data are thus representative of the CO properties of isolated late-type galaxies. All objects were observed in their central position, those with large angular sizes were mapped. These new measurements are used to estimate the molecular gas mass of the target galaxies. The molecular gas is on average ~18% of the atomic gas mass.

- Description:
- The catalog is a complete summary of all observations of CO isotopes in galaxies up to spring 1984. It consists of seven tables. Refs.dat describes the reference for CO observations of galaxies. Telescop.dat describes the properties of the telescopes used for observations. Detect.dat and uprlmits.dat contain a compilation of data on galaxies that have been observed in CO. Most of the characteristics listed here are observed properties. The detected galaxies are listed first, followed by galaxies with upper limits. Upper limits are given for detected galaxies if the detection is disputed or if the limits refer to transitions or regions that have not yet been detected. Temp.dat is a comparison of the antenna temperature scales used in the references in this catalog. Maps.dat lists the coverage, resolution, observed structure of CO maps of galaxies, and notes.dat contains notes to tables.

- Description:
- The second survey of the molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud in ^12^CO(J=1-0) was carried out by NANTEN. The sensitivity of this survey is twice as high as that of the previous NANTEN survey, leading to a detection of molecular clouds with M_CO_>~2x10^4^solMass. We identified 272 molecular clouds, 230 of which are detected at three or more observed positions. We derived the physical properties, such as size, line width, and virial mass, of the 164 GMCs (Giant Molecular clouds) that have an extent more than the beam size of NANTEN in both the major and minor axes.

- Description:
- We present the properties of an extensive sample of molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) mapped at 11pc resolution in the CO(1-0) line. Targets were chosen based on a limiting CO flux and peak brightness as measured by the NANTEN survey. The observations were conducted with the ATNF Mopra Telescope as part of the Magellanic Mopra Assessment. We identify clouds as regions of connected CO emission and find that the distributions of cloud sizes, fluxes, and masses are sensitive to the choice of decomposition parameters.
