On the origin of M81 group extended dust emission
(2010-11-01)Galactic cirrus emission at far-infrared wavelengths affects many extragalactic observations. Separating this emission from that associated with extragalactic objects is both important and difficult. In this paper we discuss ... -
On the origin of the HI line emission associated with massive young stellar objects
(1992)The problem of interpreting the H I line emission associated with massive young stellar objects is addressed by comparing results of LTE calculations of H I Br-alpha and Pf-gamma profiles with observations of the exciting ... -
