Journal ArticleDOI
The Characterization and Galactic Distribution of Infrared Dark Clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 13CO J = 1? 0 molecular line emission from the Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey (BU-FCRAO GRS) to establish kinematic distances to 313 infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) by matching the morphology of the molecular line emissions in distinct velocity channels to their mid-infrared extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spitzer survey of the small magellanic cloud : S3MC imaging and photometry in the mid-and far-infrared wave bands
Alberto D. Bolatto,Joshua D. Simon,Snežana Stanimirović,Snežana Stanimirović,Jacco Th. van Loon,R. Y. Shah,Kim A. Venn,Adam Leroy,Karin Sandstrom,James M. Jackson,Frank P. Israel,Aigen Li,Lister Staveley-Smith,Caroline Bot,Francois Boulanger,Monica Rubio +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Spitzer Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (S^3MC) was used to image the star-forming body of the SMC in all seven MIPS and IRAC wave bands.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Survey of Acetic Acid toward Hot Molecular Cores
Anthony J. Remijan,Lewis E. Snyder,Douglas N. Friedel,Sheng-Yuan Liu,Sheng-Yuan Liu,R. Y. Shah,R. Y. Shah +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new source of acetic acid toward the high-mass hot molecular core source G34.2 was detected using a temperature range between 70 and 185 K. This gave a relative CH3COOH/HCOOCH3 abundance ratio of ~3.3+0.2.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE MOLECULAR PROPERTIES OF GALACTIC H ii REGIONS
L. D. Anderson,T. M. Bania,James M. Jackson,Dan P. Clemens,Mark H. Heyer,R. Simon,R. Y. Shah,Jill Rathborne +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the molecular properties for a sample of 301 Galactic H ii regions including 123 ultra compact (UC), 105 compact, and 73 diffuse nebulae were derived based upon the presence of radio continuum and cm-wavelength radio recombination line emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spitzer Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud: Discovery of Embedded Protostars in the H II Region NGC 346
Joshua D. Simon,Alberto D. Bolatto,Alberto D. Bolatto,Barbara A. Whitney,Thomas P. Robitaille,R. Y. Shah,David Makovoz,Snežana Stanimirović,Rodolfo H. Barbá,Monica Rubio +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Spitzer Space Telescope observations from the Spitzer Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (S^(3)MC) to study the young stellar content of N66, the largest and brightest H II region in the SMC.
