What makes genetically modified organisms so distasteful?
(2001-10)
The debate concerning genetically modified organisms goes on unabated and reflects some genuine concerns. I suggest that a significantly large number of educated people believe that moving genes around between species is ...
Binaries discovered by the SPY project. I. HE 1047-0436: A subdwarf B white dwarf syste
(2001-10)
In the course of our search for double degenerate binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae with the UVES spectrograph at the ESO VLT (ESO SNIa Progenitor surveY { SPY) we discovered that the sdB star HE1047−0436 ...
Chandra observations of the X-ray jet in 3C 66B
(2001-10)
Our Chandra observation of the FRI radio galaxy 3C66B has resulted in the first detection of an X-ray counterpart to the previously known radio, infra-red and optical jet. The X-ray jet is detected up to 7 arcsec from the ...
Abundant molecular gas in tidal dwarf galaxies: On-going galaxy formation
(2001-10)
We investigate the process of galaxy formation as can be observed in the only currently forming galaxies { the so-called Tidal Dwarf Galaxies, hereafter TDGs { through observations of the molecular gas detected via its CO ...
European pollution outbreaks during ACE 2 : Lofted aerosol plumes observed with Raman lidar at the Portuguese coast
(2001-09-27)
During the Second Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE 2) in the summer of 1997, four pollution outbreaks from the European continent were monitored at Sagres (37 degreesN, 9 degreesW), Portugal, by applying the Raman ...
Further images of α Persei G dwarfs
(2001-09-21)
We present two images of intermediate and low axial inclination G dwarfs (AP 149 and AP 193) in the young open cluster a Persei, and compare these with previous images of intermediate and high axial inclination objects in ...
Starspot patterns on the M dwarfs HK Aqr and RE 1816+541
(2001-09-21)
We present the first Doppler images of two M dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. Late-type dwarfs are generally too faint to enable spectra with sufficient signal-to-noise (SIN) ratios for Doppler imaging to be obtained in ...
