... capable of dissociating them, and this means that molecular clouds must have a column density of at least 20 M pc−2 (Elmegreen 1985, 1993). Most molecular clouds have column densities much higher than this and are therefore quite opaque, a typical column density being of the order of 100 M pc−2 . ...

Unlocking the secrets of stellar haloes using combined star counts
... a halo around an edge-on disc galaxy at redshift z = 0.322 can in principle be explained by a mixture of ionized gas and a normal stellar halo (Zackrisson et al. 2006). However, the halo colours of this particular target may also be severely affected by instrumental scattering (de Jong 2008). If the ...

One parsec equals the distance to an imaginary star that has a parallax of 1 second of arc. A parsec is 206,265 AU, which equals roughly 3.26 ly (light-years).* The blurring caused by Eart ...
