In this first paper, we measured the strength of the CN and CH band indices, which correlate with the N and C abundances, and we investigated the anti-correlation and bimodality of these indices. We compared rCN, the ratio of stars belonging to the CN-strong and weak groups, with 15 different cluster parameters. (1 data file).

We present Heinrich Hertz Telescope CO (3-2) observations of a sample of 10 early-type galaxies detected both in far-infrared (IRAS) and in CO (1-0). Six of the objects (i.e., 60% of the sample) were detected in the CO (3-2) transition. Comparison of the beam-matched CO (3-2)/CO (1-0) and CO (2-1)/CO (1-0) intensity ratios with simple large

Context: .At least a fraction of the atomic hydrogen in spiral galaxies is suspected to be the result of molecular hydrogen which has been dissociated by radiation from massive stars. Aims: .In this paper, we extend our earlier set of data from a small region of the Western spiral arm of M 81 with CO observations in order to study the interplay

The cross section for coherent J / ψ photoproduction accompanied by at least one neutron on one side of the interaction point and no neutron activity on the other side, Xn0n, is measured with the CMS experiment in ultra-peripheral PbPb collisions at √{sNN} = 2.76TeV. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity

Using the T-matrix theory, we have performed an analytical study of the collective fast normal modes of an arbitrary system of loops. The obtained results allow to assess the dynamical effects of the interaction of loops and the frequency shifts with respect to the individual loops in an arcade as a function of the number of tubes. Furthermore, the

The aim of this work is to study the compositional diversity of asteroid families based on their near-infrared colors, using the data within the MOVIS catalog. As of 2017, this catalog presents data for 53 436 asteroids observed in at least two near-infrared filters (Y, J, H, or Ks). Among these asteroids, we find information for 6299 belonging to
