The first generation of stars (commonly known as population III) are expected to form in low-mass protogalaxies which molecular hydrogen is the dominant coolant. Radiation from these will rapidly build up an extragalactic ultraviolet (UV) background capable photodissociating H2, and it widely believed that this suppress further star formation systems. However, also produce X-ray background. This background, by increasing fractional ionization protogalactic gas, promotes H2 reduces...
Emission from the υ = 1–0 S(1) line of molecular hydrogen has been mapped over a section supernova remnant IC443.

The first star formation in the Universe is expected to take place within small protogalaxies, which gas cooled by molecular hydrogen. However, if massive stars form these they may suppress further photodissociating H2. We examine importance of this effect estimating time-scale on significant H2 destroyed. show that photodissociation least but becomes less so as protogalactic mass increases. also effects dense clumps protogalaxy. find while collapse will be inhibited low-density clumps,...

Large scale many-core systems are able to execute concurrently changing mixes of different parallel applications. Hybrid application mapping combines the strengths design-time exploration/analysis resource constellations for task-to-core mappings with flexibility choosing concrete at run time. However, state-of-the-art design space exploration (DSE) techniques so far ignore problem symmetries in modern heterogeneous architectures: not only recurring patterns architecture but tasks instances...
Observations of the BL Lac object OJ 287 were made simultaneously at infrared JHK wavelengths and in optical near UBVRI 1983 January. These observations, total flux reaching a peak then decaying, complex polarization changes, are explained terms model jet emanating from an accretion disc.
Tailed, comet-like objects found in the outskirts of Gum nebula (and elsewhere) are shown to be |$\gt\,{10}^{5}$| yr old. This implies that H II region is much older than Vela Pulsar 0833 – 45. Tailed structure NGC 5367 suggests presence ionized hydrogen falling into galactic plane near l = 320°.
A type of shock which accelerates hyhdrogen molecules to a high velocity without dissociating is investigated. Such soft C-shocks are characterized by low Alfvén Mach numbers and streaming speeds the ions through neutrals. Therefore, in region speed, |$v_A$| can produce wide H2 line profiles. We show that shape width profiles OMC-1 outflow reproduced bow 200–250 km s–1 moving dense medium with |${v}_{A}\sim 46 \,\text{km}\,\text{s}^{-1}.$| Line ratio data also successfully modeled from an...

Specifically, we determine here line strengths from a model bow-shaped C-shocks under high-density cloud conditions.
