TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the discovery of a powerful molecular wind from the nucleus of the non-interacting nearby S0 field galaxy NGC 1266, which is the first known outflowing molecular system that does not show any evidence of a recent interaction.

Journal ArticleDOI
What drives the expansion of giant h ii regions?: a study of stellar feedback in 30 doradus
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the pressure associated with each component listed above across the giant H II region 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud and exploited high-resolution, multi-wavelength images (radio, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray) to map these pressures as a function of position.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, strong H2 and CO absorption from gas within the host galaxy of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 080607 is reported, which suggests that the high excitation temperature results from UV pumping of the CO gas by the GRB afterglow.
Journal ArticleDOI
What Drives the Expansion of Giant HII Regions?: A Study of Stellar Feedback in 30 Doradus
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution, multi-wavelengh images (radio, infrared, optical, and X-ray) were used to map these pressures as a function of position and found that radiation pressure dominates within 75 pc of the central star cluster, R136, while the HII gas pressure dominates at larger radii.
