    Description: A search has been conducted for radio emission at 11 and 3.7 cm from 46 recent supernovae having accurately determined positions and ages of a few months to 79 years. None of these supernovae was detected at a flux density greater than 5-10 mJy. These negative results cannot be explained by internal absorption and are thus due to intrinsically weak synchrotron emission in young supernova remnants. There are two possibilities: either (1) relativistic particles are accelerated not by the supernova outburst but by processes occurring much later (at least about 75 years) in the remnant or (2) the magnetic field in the young remnants evolves very slowly, in proportion to the inverse square root of time, so that its value in the remnants observed was no more than about 0.002 gauss. The constraints the observations place on these possibilities and on the energy in cosmic rays in young remnants are discussed. Gamma-ray observations at times of no more than about 1 year following an outburst will allow one to discriminate between the two alternative explanations of the radio results.

    Description: Far-infrared and radio continuum maps have been made of the central 6' of the inner-galaxy H II regions G30.8-0.0 (in the W43 complex) and G25.4-02., along with radio and molecular line measurements at selected positions. An effort is made to understand far infrared wavelingths allow the dust temperature structures and total far infrared fluxes to be determined. Comparison of the radio and infrared maps shows a close relationship between the ionized gas and the infrared-emitting material. There is evidence that parts of G30.8 are substantially affected by extinction, even at far-infrared wavelengths. For G25.4-0.2, the radio recombination line and CO line data permit resolution of the distance ambiguity for this source. The confusion in distance determination is found to result from an extraordinary near-superposition of two bright H II regions. Using revised distances of 4.3 kpc for G26.4SE and 12 kpc for G25.4NW, that the latter, which is apparently the fainter of the two sources, is actually the more luminous. Though it is not seen on the Palomar Sky Survey, G25.4SE is easily visible in the 9532A line of S III and is mapped in this line. The ratio of total luminosity to ionizing luminosity is very similar to that of H II regions in the solar circle. Assuming a coeval population of ionizing stars, a normal initial mass function is indicated.

    Description: X-ray, optical, and radio observations have been made of an X-ray source originally discovered by Ulmer et al. (1980) in a survey of Abell clusters of galaxies. The relatively flat radio spectrum, the featureless optical spectrum, and the shape of the X-ray spectrum lead to the classification of the source as a BL Lacertae object. The source has one of the highest X-ray flux density ratios to both the optical and radio flux densities, and its strength at all these wavelengths warrants further multiwavelength studies. The radio, optical, and X-ray flux densities for the observations were 100 mJy, V = 16.4 (1 mJy), and 1 UFU (1.6 micro Jy). The X-ray flux varied by a factor of 2 over a 1 year period, but no 100 s time scale variations were seen. A search of the Harvard plate stacks did not reveal any optical variations. A model for the source is presented, and the implications of this object with respect to X-ray surveys are briefly discussed.

    Description: Far-infrared and radio continuum maps have been made of the central 6' of the inner-galaxy HII regions G30.8-0.0 (in the W43 complex) and G25.4-0.2, along with radio and molecular line measurements at selected positions. The purpose of this study is an effort to understand star formation in the molecular ring at 5 kpc in galactic radius. Measurements at several far infrared wavelengths allow the dust temperature structures and total far infrared fluxes to be determined. Comparison of the radio and infrared maps shows a close relationship between the ionized gas and the infrared-emitting material. There is evidence that parts of G30.8 are substantially affected by extinction, even at far-infrared wavelengths. Using radio recombination line and CO line data for G25.4-0.2, the distance ambiguity for this source is resolved. The large distance previously ascribed to the entire complex is found to apply to only one of the two main components. The confusion in distance determination is found to result from an extraordinary near-superposition of two bright HII regions. Using the revised distances of 4.3 kpc for G25.4SE and 12 kpc for G25.4NW, it is found that the latter, which is apparently the fainter of the two sources, is actually the more luminous. The ratio of total luminosity to ionizing luminosity is very similar to that of HII regions in the solar circle. Assuming a coeval population of ionizing stars, a normal initial mass function is indicated.

    Description: Carbon recombination-line emission has been detected at two frequencies from a dark cloud contiguous with the small H II region Sharpless 140. The observations show the dark cloud to be of unusually low temperature and to have a markedly inhomogeneous density distribution, with localized region of high density surrounding one or more embedded stars. The carbon is probably ionized by photons from both the exciting star of S140 and the embedded stars. The dark cloud and S140 apparently represent two stages of star formation which have occurred over a period of at least 500,000 years in adjacent regions of the same dark cloud.

    Description: Observations of Cygnus X-3 were carried out at 2.5 - 7.5 keV, 2.2 micron, 8.1 GHz and 2.7 GHz over a two week period. The X-ray data show the periodic structure which is typical of Cyg X-3. At times the X-ray and infrared measurements show very similar periodic structure, both in phase and shape, while at other times the infrared data show no periodic variability. The radio fluxes were usually low during the period of observation; both the daily average radio flux levels and spectral index remained nearly constant.

    Description: High-sensitivity emission profiles were observed for the transition of C12O16 and C13O16 towards IRC + or - 10216. It appears that the spherically symmetric uniform mass-outflow model proposed by Morris is necessary to describe the line profiles. The outflow appears to be slightly accelerated, having a velocity of 15 km/sec at the edges of the CO cloud, compared with 12 km/sec for the more centrally confined molecules.

    Description: Carbon monoxide emission has been observed toward about 35 galactic reflection nebulae. The peaking of CO temperatures near the hotter stars indicates substantial local heating of the gas and dust by the embedded stars. Wide low-level emission wings are seen on several of the (C-12)O line profiles; these are most plausibly interpreted as due to cloud material accelerated by such processes as radiation pressure from the newborn stars.

    Description: The 2.6-mm lines of (C-12)O and (C-13)O have been observed toward the small galactic diffuse nebulae NGC 1579 (S222) and S239. The H92-alpha recombination line has also been detected from NGC 1579. Toward NGC 1579, evidence was observed for self-absorption in the (C-12)O line. For both regions, high-velocity wings and line broadening are observable in the (C-12)O line; the features observed toward S239 suggest ordered free-fall collapse of a localized region of the cloud onto a newborn stellar cluster. Examination of the available data suggests that NGC 1579 is both a reflection nebula (illuminated by LKH-alpha 101) and an obscured H II region excited by a star of spectral type near B1, while S239 is a reflection nebula or a Herbig-Haro object. The present studies of these regions show that line widening in CO is at least as important an indicator of star-formation activity as enhanced line emission.
