New Results on CMB Structure From the Tenerife Experiments
Temperature fluctuations in the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) are a key prediction of cosmological models of structure formation in the early Universe. Observations at the Teide Observatory, Tenerife using...

The Magnetic Field in the Local Spiral Arms
Optical and radio observations provide an extensive body of data on the morphology and intensity of magnetic fields in our Galaxy. Zeeman effect measurements in interstellar gas clouds show that the magnetic f...

Spiral Galaxies as Indicators of the Hubble Flow
We have chosen a sample of 307 Sb-Sc galaxies for an accurate study of the motions of local galaxies relative to the uniform Hubble flow. This work extends that of Hart and Davies (1982) who studied a sample o...

Molecules in the Widely Distributed Interstellar Clouds
Observations showing the occurrence of neutral hydrogen, OH and H2CO in a variety of widely distributed interstellar clouds are described. These clouds include those seen in absorption against strong radio source...

The Outer Spiral Structure of the Galaxy and the High-Velocity Clouds
Outer spiral arms have been mapped using high sensitivity observations. Their velocity and location suggest a close association with the high-velocity clouds (HVCs).
