The parameters of the ionized gas in NGC 6946 (in the [NII] λλ6548, 6583, H
α
and [SII] λλ6717, 6731 lines) are investigated with the SAO RAS BTA telescope along three positions of the long slit of the
SCORPIO focal reducer, passing through a number of large and small cavities of the gaseous disc of the galaxy. These cavities
correspond exactly to the cavities in warm dust, visible at 5 − 8μm. We found that everywhere in the direction of NGC 6946
the lines of ionized gas are decomposed into two Gaussians, one of which shows almost constant [SII]/H
α
and [NII]/H
α
ratios, as well as an almost constant radial velocity within the measurement errors (about −35… − 50 km/s). This component
is in fact the foreground radiation from the diffuse ionized gas of our Galaxy, which is not surprising, given the low (12°)
latitude of NGC 6946; a similar component is also present in the emission of neutral hydrogen. The analysis of the component
of ionized gas, occurring inNGC 6946, has revealed that it shows signs of shock excitation in the cavities of the gaseous
disc of the galaxy. This shock excitation is as well typical for the extraplanar diffuse ionized gas (EDIG), observed in a
number of spiral galaxies at their high Z-coordinates. This can most likely be explained by low density of the gas in the
NGC 6946 disc (with the usual photoionization) inside the cavities, due to what we see the spectral features of the EDIG gas
of NGC 6946, projected onto them, and located outside the plane of the galaxy. In the absence of separation of ionized gas
into two components by radial velocities, there is an increasing contribution to the integral line parameters by the EDIG
of our Galaxy when the gas density in NGC 6946 decreases, which explains some strange results, obtained in the previous studies.
Themorphology of warmdust, visible in the infrared range and HI is almost the same (except for the peripheral parts of the
galaxy, where there are no sources of dust heating).Moreover, the shock excitation of the ionized gas is detected in the smallest
holes, distinguishable only in the IR images. 相似文献

The methods of panoramic (3D) spectroscopy are used by us in a detailed study of galaxies with ongoing star formation chosen
from among objects in seven selected fields of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). This article deals with the irregular galaxy
SBS 1202 + 583, which our classification scheme identifies as being in a continuous phase of star formation. Observations
were made with the panoramic spectrographs MPFS at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) of the
Russian Academy of Sciences and VAGR at the 2.6-m telescope of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) in Armenia. The
data are used to construct maps of the radiative fluxes in the continuum and various emission lines. Special attention is
devoted to analyzing the emission in the Hα hydrogen recombination line and in the forbidden low-ionization doublets of nitrogen [NII] λλ6548, 6583 and sulfur [SII] λλ6716, 6731, and the ratios of the intensities of the forbidden lines to Hα. The observable characteristics (size, Hα fluxes, etc.) of nine HII regions are studied. The estimated current rates of star formation in the individual HII regions
based on the Hα fluxes lie within the range of 0.3-1.2⨀ M /year. The dependence of the ratio of the intensities of the emission in these above mentioned forbidden doublets on the
rate of star formation in the HII regions is found. 相似文献

We present here the optical CCD observations and long slit spectra of the galactic supernova remnants G59.5+0.1, G84.9+0.5 and G67.7+1.8, the first two being observed for the first time. The observations were carried out with the 1.5 m Russian-Turkish joint Telescope (RTT150) at TÜB?TAK National Observatory (TUG). The images were taken with Hα, [SII] and their continuum filters. After subtracting the continuum from Hα and [SII], [SII]/Hα ratio is obtained. The average ratio is found to be 0.41 for G59.5+0.1 and 0.44 for G84.9+0.5, in a very good agreement with the ratios obtained from the optical spectra, namely 0.46 and 0.40, respectively, indicating that these remnants are close to, or interacting with, HII regions. G59.5+0.1 and G84.9+0.5 remnants show diffuse-shell morphology while G67.7+1.8 shows arc-shell morphology. From the emission lines of the spectra, the electron density N e , pre-shock density n c , explosion energy E, interstellar extinction E(B-V), and neutral hydrogen column density N(HI) are calculated and shock velocity V s is estimated for these remnants. 相似文献

The results of morphological and spectral study of the galaxies Kaz 5, Kaz 92, and Kaz 390 are presented. The observations
were made on the 2.6-m telescope at the Byurakan Observatory with the VAGR microlenses spectrograph. Isophotes of the images
of the galaxies are constructed in the Hα, [NII] λλ6584 , 6548, and [SII] λλ6731, 6717 emission lines and in the continuum. The masses of Kaz 5 and Kaz 92 are determined to be 8.6 × 108 M⊙ and 6.1 × 109 M⊙ , respectively. The mass of the gaseous component in the centers of regions I and IV of Kaz 390, which encompass a 1 pixel
area, are also determined. The morphological structure of the central region of Kaz 5 in the observed spectral range, λλ6400–6800?, differs completely from the structure of the same part of the galaxy observed with the 6-m and 2.5-m telescopes. It is shown
that these differences in the structure in images of Kaz 5 are mostly explained by the comparatively low resolution of the
telescope in combination with the VAGR spectrograph. Absorbing matter also contributes to this effect. It is also shown that
a “deficit” of nitrogen has been observed in the region of Kaz 390 studied here (a circle of diameter 40″).

Based on our spectroscopic observations of the variable planetary nebula IC 4997 in 2003–2009, we have obtained the relative
fluxes in optical emission lines. The interstellar extinction c = 0.35 has been found from the Balmer decrement by taking into account the effect of self-absorption in hydrogen lines in
dense nebular regions. The variations in the Balmer decrement point to variability of the self-absorption and circumstellar
extinction. We have investigated the variations in the relative intensities of some spectral lines and their ratios with time.
The drop in the ratios F(λ4363)/F(Hγ) and F(λ363)/F(λ4959) that began back in 1990–1995 has continued, suggesting a decrease in the electron density and temperature in the central
nebular region. The ratio F(λ6731)/F(λ6717) has remained constant. It gives an estimate for the electron density in the outer regions of IC 4997, N

We present two new luminous blue variable (LBV) candidate stars discovered in the M33 galaxy. We identified these stars as
massive star candidates at the final stages of evolution, presumably with a notable interstellar extinction. The candidates
were selected from the Massey et al. catalog based on the following criteria: emission in H
α
, V<18./m 5 and 0.m 35 < (B - V) < 1.m 2. The spectra of both stars reveal a broad and strong H
α
emission with extended wings (770 and 1000 kms−1). Based on the spectra we estimated the main parameters of the stars. Object N45901 has a bolometric luminosity log(L/L⊙) = 6.0–6.2 with the value of interstellar extinction A
V
= 2.3 ± 0.1. The temperature of the star’s photosphere is estimated as T⋆ ∼ 13000–15000 K, its probable mass on the Zero
Age Main Sequence is M∼ 60–80 M⊙. The infrared excess in N 45901 corresponds to the emission of warm dust with the temperature Twarm ∼ 1000 K, and amounts
to 0.1%of the bolometric luminosity. A comparison of stellar magnitude estimates from different catalogs points to the probable
variability of the object N45901. Bolometric luminosity of the second object, N125093, is log(L/L⊙) = 6.3 − 6.6, the value of interstellar extinction is A
V
= 2.75 ± 0.15. We estimate its photosphere’s temperature as T⋆∼ 13000–16000K, the initial mass as M ∼ 90–120 M⊙. The infrared excess in N125093 amounts to 5–6% of the bolometric luminosity. Its spectral energy distribution reveals two
thermal components with the temperatures Twarm ∼ 1000K and Tcold ∼ 480 K. The [Ca II] λλ7291, 7323 lines, observed in LBV-like stars Var A and N93351 in M33 are also present in the spectrum of N 125093. These lines
indicate relatively recent gas eruptions and dust activity linked with them. High bolometric luminosity of these stars and
broad H
α emissions allow classifying the studied objects as LBV candidates. 相似文献

We report XMM-Newton observations of the Galactic supernova remnant G296.8-0.3, together with complementary radio and infrared data. The spatial
and spectral properties of the X-ray emission, detected towards G296.8-0.3, was investigated in order to explore the possible
evolutionary scenarios and the physical connexion with its unusual morphology detected at radio frequencies. G296.8-0.3 displays
diffuse X-ray emission correlated with the peculiar radio morphology detected in the interior of the remnant and with the
shell-like radio structure observed to the northwest side of the object. The X-ray emission peaks in the soft/medium energy
range (0.5–3.0 keV). The X-ray spectral analysis confirms that the column density is high (N
H∼0.64×1022 cm−2) which supports a distant location (d>9 kpc) for the SNR. Its X-ray spectrum can be well represented by a thermal (PSHOCK) model, with kT∼0.86 keV, an ionization timescale of 6.1×1010 cm−3 s, and low abundance (∼0.12 Z
⊙). The 24 μm observations show shell-like emission correlated with part of the northwest and southeast boundaries of the SNR.
In addition a point-like X-ray source is also detected close to the geometrical center of the radio SNR. The object presents
some characteristics of the so-called compact central objects (CCO). Its X-ray spectrum is consistent with those found at
other CCOs and the value of N
H is consistent with that of G296.8-0.3, which suggests a physical connexion with the SNR. 相似文献

We present new images of the well-known molecular outflow and Herbig-Haro complex L 1551-IRS 5. Deep, high-resolution images of the central region of the flow in [SII] 6716,6731 and H (6565 Å) are complemented by a mosaic of much of the CO outflow in H2 v=1-0 S(1). While the optical data trace the intermediate-to-high excitation shocks in the flow (v
shock
> 30 – 50 km s–1), the near-IR data reveal the lower-excitation, molecular shocks (v
shock
10–50 km s–1). In particular, the H2 data highlight the regions where the flow impacts and shocks ambient molecular gas. 相似文献

Symbiotic stars that are strong radio sources and have cool dust emitting in the infrared are expected to have extended emission
nebulae around them. In order to search for such emission nebulae, we have carried out CCD imaging of three symbiotic stars
(R Aqr, RR Tel and H1-36) with narrow-band filters centred at the emission lines of [O III] λ5007, Hα λ6563, [N II] λ6584,
[S II] λ6717 + 6731. RR Tel and H1-36 images do not show any extended nebulosities around them. The CCD image of the R Aqr
nebulosity in the high excitation [O m] line is different from its image in Hα and the low excitation lines of [N II] and
[S II] indicating ionization-stratification in the nebula. In H1-36 the optical nebulosity (if it exists) is smaller than
∽2 arcsec while the radio image size is known to be large (∽5 arcsec). This behaviour is opposite to that seen in R Aqr in
which the radio emission comes from the core region of a much larger optical nebulosity. Interstellar and/or circumstellar
extinctions are suggested to be responsible for this difference 相似文献

Optical spectroscopic data are presented on nova LW Serpentis 1978, obtained during its decline fromV 9.0 to ≃10.2 (compared to a value of ∼ 8.0 at recorded maximum). The spectrum and its evolution compare well with a typical
nova, though the principal absorption (∼ −750 km s−l) was very weak in comparison with the diffuse-enhanced absorption (∼ −1300 km s−1). The principal absorption could be identified only in the lines of O I λλ7774, 8446, and in moderate-resolution observations
of Hα. The salient features of spectral evolution follow: The near-infrared triplet of Ca n continuously weakened. O I λ8446
was always brighter than O I λ 7774, indicating continued importance of Lyman Β fluorescence. The lines due to [O I], [N II]
and N n brightened considerably near the end of our observations (37 days from maximum). The Hα emission line was asymmetric
all through with more emission towards the red. Its emission profile showed considerable structure. Based on the individual
peaks in the Hα line profile, a kinematical model is proposed for the shell of LW Ser. The model consists of an equatorial
ring, and a polar cone on the side away from the earth. The nearer polar cone did not show significant emission of Hα during
our observations. The polar axis of the shell is inclined at a small angle (∼ 15‡) to the line of sight. 相似文献

We analyze the emission component of galaxy nuclei at very low intensity levels (W(H)2Å). This emission level is considerably lower than that of classical LINERS like NGC 1052. We have access to weaker emission lines by averaging spectra with similar line ratios for H [NII], and [SII]. From the resulting spectrum for very low level emission nuclei, the [SII] 6717, 6731/[SIII] 9069, 9532 line ratio criterion (Diazet al., 1985a) unambiguously shows that shock-wave heating is the mechanism responsible for the ionization in such objects. 相似文献

Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are the most likely sources of the galactic cosmic rays up to energies of about 1015 eV/nuc. The large scale shock waves of SNRs are almost ideal sites to accelerate particles up to these highly non-thermal
energies by a first order Fermi mechanism which operates through scattering of the particles at magnetic irregularities. In
order to get an estimate on the total amount of the explosion energy E
SNconverted into high energy particles the evolution of a SNR has to be followed up to the final merging with the interstellar
medium. This can only be done by numerical simulations since the non-linear modifications of the shock wave due to particle
acceleration as well as radiative cooling processes at later SNR stages have to be considered in such investigations. Based
on a large sample of numerical evolution calculations performed for different ambient densities n
ext, SN explosion energies, magnetic fields etc. we discuss the final ‘yields’ of cosmic rays at the final SNR stage where the
Mach number of the shock waves drops below 2. At these times the cosmic rays start to diffuse out of the remnant. In the range
of external densities of10-2 ≤ n
ext/[cm-3] ≤ 30 we find a the total acceleration efficiency of about 0.15 E
SN with an increase up to 0.24 E
SN at maximum for an external density of n
ext = 10 cm-3. Since for the larger ambient densities radiative cooling can reduce significantly the total thermal energy content of the
remnant dissipation of Alfvén waves can provide an important heating mechanism for the gas at these later stages. From the
collisions of the cosmic rays with the thermal plasma neutral pions are generated which decay subsequently into observable
γ-rays above 100 MeV. Hence, we calculate these γ-ray luminosities of SNRs and compare them with current upper limits of ground
based γ-raytelescopes. The development of dense shells due to cooling of the thermal plasma increases the γ-ray luminosities
and e.g. an external density of n
ext = 10 cm-3 with E
SN = 1051 erg can lead to a γ-ray flux above 10-6 ph cm-2 s-1 for a remnant located at a distance of 1 kpc.

The galaxy NGC6384 has been observed with an IPCS through Hα and [NII] narrow-band interference filters for direct imagery with the 2.6-m Byurakan telescope. We studied the main physical
parameters of the identified 98 HII regions, their diameter and luminosity functions, as well the [NII]/Hα ratio distribution. The integrated distribution function of the HII region diameters can be well fitted by the exponential
function. The characteristic diameter has the value (Do = 217 pc) predicted for a galaxy of its measured luminosity. The luminosity
function of HII regions has a double power law profile with relatively shallow slope at low luminosities (α = −0.4), an abrupt
turnover at logL(Hα) ≈ 38.75, and sharper slope at higher luminosities (α = −2.3). The correlation between the luminosity and diameter of HII
regions confirms that in general they are constant density, radiation-bound systems. [NII]/Hα ratio data for the HII regions show that there is a negative radial gradient of [NII]/Hα. In the central region of the galaxy, nitrogen abundance is higher than in the periphery. The properties of the HII region
population of this AGN galaxy do not differ significantly from the properties of the HII region population of the “normal”
galaxies. Reexamining the location of the type Ia SN 1971L in the galaxy, we confirm that it lies on the spiral arm at about
8″.6 far from the closest HII region N 53 (F81). Such a location can be taken as proof that the progenitor of this SN does
not belong to an old, evolved stellar population.

In 2008, we observed the spectrum of the planetary nebula He 1–5, which has had no ionization source for more than 50 years.
Comparison with the observations performed in 1972–1976 and 1988 shows that the line intensity ratio I(λ5007[O III])/I(Hβ) decreased by a factor of 2.5, the intensity ratio of the red [N II] doublet to Hα was almost constant, and the [S II]-to-Hα intensity ratio may have slightly increased. The observed changes in the spectrum agree, within the limits of the observational
errors, with the calculations of gas recombination in a medium-excitation nebula performed by Tylenda in 1980, but the nitrogen
line intensities are higher than the calculated ones by 10–15%. This is most likely related to the slightly reduced nitrogen
abundance adopted in the model. The onset of nebular recombination dates from the end of the 19th century and is consistent
with its estimate from the photometric history of the central star. 相似文献

The evolution of the Star Formation Rate (SFR) density of the Universe as a function of look-back time is a fundamental parameter
in order to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies. The current picture, only outlined in the last years, is that
the global SFR density has dropped by about an order of magnitude from a redshift of z∼1.5 to the current value at z=0. Because
these SFR density studies are now extended to the whole range in redshift, it becomes mandatory to combine data from different
SFR tracers. At low redshifts, optical emission lines are the most widely used. Using Hα as current-SFR tracer, the Universidad
Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey provided the first estimation of the global SFR density in the Local Universe. The Hα flux
in emission is directly related to the number of ionizing photons and, modulo IMF, to the total mass of stars formed. Metallic
lines like [OII]λ3727 and [OIII]λ5007 are affected by metallicity and excitation. Beyond redshifts z∼0.4, Hα is not observable
in the optical and [OII]λ3727 or UV luminosities have to be used. The UCM galaxy sample has been used to obtain a calibration
between [OII]λ3727 luminosity and SFR specially suitable for the different types of star-forming galaxies found by deep spectroscopic
surveys in redshifts up to z∼1.5. These calibrations, when applied to recent deep redshift surveys confirm the drop of the
SFR density of the Universe since z∼1 previously infered in the UV. However, the fundamental parameter that determines galactic
evolution is mass, not luminosity. The mass function for local star-forming galaxies is critical for any future comparison
with other galaxy populations of different evolutionary status. Hα velocity-widths for UCM galaxies indicate that besides
a small fraction of 1010-1011 M⊙ starburst nuclei spirals, the majority have dynamical masses in the ∼109 M⊙ range. A comparison with published data for faint blue galaxies suggests that star-forming galaxies at z∼1 would have SFR
per unit mass and burst strengths similar to those at z=0, but being intrinsically more massive.

We report hard X-ray emission of the non-thermal supernova remnant G337.2+0.1. The source presents centrally filled and diffuse
X-ray emission. A spectral study confirms that the column density of the central part of the object is about N
H∼5.9(±1.5)×1022 cm−2 and its X-ray spectrum is well represented by a single power-law with a photon index Γ=0.96±0.56. Detailed spectral analysis indicates that the outer region is highly absorbed and quite softer than the inner
region. Characteristics already observed in other well-known X-ray plerions. Based on the gathered information, we confirm
the SNR nature of G337.2+0.1, and suggest that the central region of the source is a pulsar wind nebula (PWN), originated
by an energetic though yet undetected pulsar. 相似文献

Observations of the H272α recombination line towards the galactic centre show features near VLSR= 0, −50 and + 36 kms−1. We have combined the parameters of these features with the available H166α measurements to obtain the properties of the
ionized gas present along the line of sight and also in the ‘3 kpc arm’. For the line-of-sight ionized gas we get an electron
density around 7 cm−3 and a pathlength through it ∼ 10–60 pc. The emission measure and the electron temperature are in the range 500–2900 pc cm−6 and 2000–6000 K. respectively. The ionized gas in the 3 kpc arm has an electron density of 30 cm−3 and extends over 9 pc along the line of sight if we assume an electron temperature of 104 K. Using the available upper limit to the intensity of the H351α recombination line, we show that the distributed ionized
gas responsible for the dispersion of pulsar signals should have a temperature >4500 K. and a minimum filling factor of 20
per cent. We also show that recombination lines from the ‘warm ionized’ gas proposed by McKee & Ostriker (1977) should be
detectable in the frequency range 100–150 MHz towards the galactic centre with the sensitivity available at present. 相似文献

The energy density of Vaidya-Tikekar isentropic superdense star is found to be decreasing away from the center, only if the
parameter K is negative. The most general exact solution for the star is derived for all negative values of K in terms of circular and inverse circular functions. Which can further be expressed in terms of algebraic functions for K = 2-(n/δ)2 < 0 (n being integer andδ = 1,2,3 4). The energy conditions 0 ≤ p ≤ αρc
2, (α = 1 or 1/3) and adiabatic sound speed conditiondp dρ ≤ c
2, when applied at the center and at the boundary, restricted the parameters K and α such that .18 < −K −2287 and.004 ≤ α ≤ .86. The maximum mass of the star satisfying the strong energy condition (SEC),
(α = 1/3) is found to be3.82 Mq· at K=−2/3, while the same for the weak energy condition (WEC), (α =1) is 4.57 M_
⊙ atK=−>5/2. In each case the surface density is assumed to be 2 × 1014 gm cm-3. The solutions corresponding to K>0 (in fact K>1) are also made meaningful by considering the hypersurfaces t= constant as 3-hyperboloid by replacing the parameter R
2 by −R2 in Vaidya-Tikekar formalism. The solutions for the later case are also expressible in terms of algebraic functions for K=2-(n/δ2 > 1 (n being integer or zero and δ =1,2,3 4). The cases for which 0 < K < 1 do not possess negative energy density gradient and therefore are incapable of representing any physically plausible
star model. In totality the article provides all the physically plausible exact solutions for the Buchdahl static perfect
fluid spheres.

Results from a spectrophotometric study of the galaxy Kaz 701 are presented. Spectra of this galaxy were obtained on the 2.6-m
telescope at the Byurakan Observatory with the SCORPIO spectral camera. In the spectra of Kaz 701, strong Hα, [OIII] λλ5007,
4959, and Hβ emission were observed, and the [SII]λλ6731, 6717 lines were observed with moderate intensities, while the [NII]λ6584
line was scarcely noticeable in the spectra obtained in 2004, but was much more intense in the spectra of 2009. The lines
observed in the spectrum of this galaxy are typical of type Sy2 galaxies. A component was observed in the red wings of both
the Hα and Hβ lines in the data of 2004, but, although these lines were stronger, these components were absent in the spectra
taken in 2009. The relative intensities, equivalent widths, and half widths of these lines are given. These data, obtained
in different observation periods (2004 and 2009), differ greatly; that is, the emission is variable. 相似文献
