Spectral Energy Distributions of 6.7 GHz methanol masers
The 6.7 GHz maser transition of methanol has been found exclusively towards massive star forming regions. A majority of the masers have been found to lack the presence of any associated radio continuum. This could be due to the maser emission originating prior to the formation of an HII region ar...Tags: a&a, maser, arxiv

Rotation Measures of Radio Sources in Hot Galaxy Clusters
The goal of this work is to investigate the Faraday rotation measure (RM) of radio galaxies in hot galaxy clusters in order to establish a possible connection between the magnetic field strength and the gas temperature of the intracluster medium. We performed Very Large Array observations at 3.6 ...Tags: arxiv, a&a, extragalactic astrophysics, rm, rotation measure

The asymmetric radio structure and record jet of giant quasar 4C34.47
Giant double-lobed radio source 4C34.47 displays a straight one-sided jet, measuring a record length of 380kpc, in its double-lobed radio structure. Assuming an intrinsically symmetric two-sided jet structure the radio source jet axis must be at least 33 degrees away from the sky plane, that is w...Tags: a&a, arxiv, jet, frii

Magnetic field measurements and wind-line variability of OB-type stars
The first magnetic fields in O- and B-type stars that do not belong to the Bp-star class, have been discovered. The cyclic UV wind-line variability, which has been observed in a significant fraction of early-type stars, is likely to be related to such magnetic fields. Aims. We attempt to improve ...Tags: solar and stellar astrophysics, arxiv, a&a, ob, b, o9v

Modelling the radio pulses of an ultracool dwarf
Recently unanticipated magnetic activity in ultracool dwarfs (UCDs, spectral classes later than M7) have emerged from a number of radio observations. The highly (up to 100%) circularly polarized nature and high brightness temperature of the emission has been interpreted as an effective amplificat...Tags: arxiv, a&a, solar and stellar astrophysics, ucds, brown dwards, tvlm513, xray, radio
