Observational Investigations of Cold Gas in Galaxies II

这项研究延续了克纳普博士的创造性和受人尊敬的研究， 中间层 最近有所改善 观察灵敏度，导致检测少量 椭圆星系中的冷气体和尘埃， 研究星际介质的情况与 在银河系圆盘中。 将对这些意见采取后续行动 通过红外尘埃的研究， 活动，并研究原子的垂直结构， 我们星系的圆盘中的分子气体。

This study continues Dr. Knapp's creative and respected studies of the intersterllar medium. Recent improvements in observationalsensitivity, leading to the detection of small amounts of cold gas and dust in elliptical galaxies, offer the opprotunity to study the interstellar medium in situations quite different from that in the galactic disk. These observations will be followed up by infrared dust studies, investigations of the fueling of nuclear activity, and studies of the vertical structure of atomic and molecular gas in the disk of our own galaxy.
