During the Herschel mission, this transion was detected and resolved in four galaxies with HIFI and gave 12 upper limits (below right). SPIRE gave strong detecons of HF emission in 15 sources and absorpon in 11 sources. (Data were taken from the Key program of Lu et al, the OT program of Lord et al., and the Herschel Archive).

Preliminary Herschel studies idenfied the transion in Milky Way objects while subsequent Herschel observaons have allowed us to extend our view to IR-bright galaxy nuclei and even to their spiral arms (e.g. NGC 2146 SE). Here we show numerous examples the J=1-0 HF transion occurring both absorpon and emission toward IR-bright galacc nuclei. While SPIRE has yielded the strong detecons shown above, there is lile assurance that, within the profiles shown, we are not seeing the superposion of regions of emission and absorpon, thus making interpretaon difficult. E.g.: In NGC 253 the combinaon of the two effects yields a p-Cygni profile, which Monje et al. (2013) interpret as tracing two velocity components: in-fall and oulow toward the nucleus. From this example we see the need for high spectral resoluon observaons of the line. Below, we show evidence that the emission regions are consistent with regions of warm dust which may fill the beam, conceivably the result of AGN-heang (see talk here of M. Pereira Santaella) while the absorpon lines may originate in a narrow line-of-sight to a background nuclear connuum IC 694 NGC 3690 source. (See figure below). Is this line, in emission, a new AGN diagnosc? Clearly high-z ALMA studies are needed here! Counter-examples to the simplisc asserons made above are apparent in the HF absorpon seen toward the star- forming region of NGC2146 SE and the HF emission seen toward the non-AGN NGC 3256. But the interpretaon of HF spectra are just now beginning with these discoveries.

The median IR luminosity of our sample is log LIR/L = 11.2, therefore the low-luminosity end of the LIRG class is well represented. We used new XMM-Newton data as well as Chandra and XMM-Newton archive data. The soft X-ray (0.5–2 keV) emission of most of the galaxies (>80%), including LIRGs hosting a Seyfert 2 nucleus, is dominated by star-formation-related processes. These LIRGs follow the star-formation rate (SFR) versus soft X-ray luminosity correlation observed in local starbursts.

    Deconstructing NGC 7130 N. A. Levenson1, K. A. Weaver2,3, T. M. Heckman3, H. Awaki4, and Y. Terashima5 ABSTRACT Observations of the Seyfert 2 and starburst galaxy NGC 7130 with the Chan- dra X-ray Observatory illustrate that both of these phenomena contribute sig- nificantly to the galaxy’s detectable X-ray emission. The active galactic nucleus 24 −2 (AGN) is strongly obscured, buried beneath column density NH > 10 cm , and it is most evident in a prominent Fe Kα emission line with equivalent width greater than 1 keV. The AGN accounts for most (60%) of the observed X-rays at energy E > 2 keV, with the remainder due to spatially extended star for- mation. The soft X-ray emission is strong and predominantly thermal, on both small and large scales. We attribute the thermal emission to stellar processes. In total, the AGN is responsible for only one-third of the observed 0.5–10 keV luminosity of 3 × 1041 erg s−1 of this galaxy, and less than half of its bolometric luminosity. Starburst/AGN composite galaxies like NGC 7130 are truly common, and similar examples may contribute significantly to the high-energy cosmic X- ray background while remaining hidden at lower energies, especially if they are distant.

The sample comprises 78 ob- jects, divided into 43 Seyfert 2s, 26 Seyfert 1s, 3 Starburst and 6 normal galaxies. The spectra pertain to the inner ∼ 300 pc in radius, and thus sample the central kine- matics and stellar populations of active galaxies. The data are used to measure stellar velocity dispersions (σ⋆) both with cross-correlation and direct fitting methods. These measurements are found to be in good agreement with each-other and with those in previous studies for objects in common. The CaT equivalent width is also measured.

The amount of interstellar matter in a galaxy determines its evolution, star formation rate and the activity phenomena in the nucleus. We therefore aimed at obtaining a data base of the 12CO line and thermal dust emission within equal beamsizes for galaxies in a variety of activity stages. Methods. We have conducted a search for the 12CO (1–0) and (2–1) transitions and the continuum emission at 1300 µmtowardsthe centers of 88 galaxies using the IRAM 30 m telescope (MRT) and the Swedish ESO Submillimeter Telescope (SEST). The galaxies > are selected to be bright in the far infrared (S 100 µm ∼ 9 Jy) and optically fairly compact (D25 ≤ 180 ). We have applied optical spectroscopy and IRAS colours to group the galaxies of the entire sample according to their stage of activity into three sub-samples: normal, starburst and active galactic nuclei (AGN). The continuum emission has been corrected for line contamination and synchrotron contribution to retrieve the thermal dust emission.

The S7 uses the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) mounted on the ANU 2.3m telescope located at the Siding Spring Observatory to deliver an integral field of 38×25 arcsec at a spectral resolution of R = 7000 in the red (530−710nm), and R = 3000 in the blue (340 − 560nm). From these data cubes we have extracted the Narrow Line Region (NLR) spectra from a 4 arc sec aperture centred on the nucleus. We also determine the Hβ and [O III] λ5007 fluxes in the narrow lines, the nuclear reddening, the reddening-corrected relative intensities of the observed emission lines, and the Hβ and [O III] λ5007 luminosities determined 1RSAA, Australian National University, Cotter Road, Weston Creek, ACT 2611, Australia 2Astronomy Department, King Abdulaziz University, P.O.

  • Making a Sky Atlas
    Appendix A Making a Sky Atlas Although a number of very advanced sky atlases are now available in print, none is likely to be ideal for any given task. Published atlases will probably have too few or too many guide stars, too few or too many deep-sky objects plotted in them, wrong- size charts, etc. I found that with MegaStar I could design and make, specifically for my survey, a “just right” personalized atlas. My atlas consists of 108 charts, each about twenty square degrees in size, with guide stars down to magnitude 8.9. I used only the northernmost 78 charts, since I observed the sky only down to –35°. On the charts I plotted only the objects I wanted to observe. In addition I made enlargements of small, overcrowded areas (“quad charts”) as well as separate large-scale charts for the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, the latter with guide stars down to magnitude 11.4. I put the charts in plastic sheet protectors in a three-ring binder, taking them out and plac- ing them on my telescope mount’s clipboard as needed. To find an object I would use the 35 mm finder (except in the Virgo Cluster, where I used the 60 mm as the finder) to point the ensemble of telescopes at the indicated spot among the guide stars. If the object was not seen in the 35 mm, as it usually was not, I would then look in the larger telescopes. If the object was not immediately visible even in the primary telescope – a not uncommon occur- rence due to inexact initial pointing – I would then scan around for it.

A common thread among SNe IIn are the complex multiple-component hydrogen Balmer lines. Owing to the heterogeneity of SNe IIn, online databases contain some outdated, erroneous, or even contradictory classifications. SN IIn classification is further complicated by SN “impostors” and contamination from underlying H ii regions. We have compiled a catalogue of systematically classified nearby (redshift I < 0.02) SNe IIn using the Open Supernova Catalogue (OSC). We present spectral classifications for 115 objects previously classified as SNe IIn. Our classification is based upon results obtained by fitting multiple Gaussians to the HU profiles. We compare classifications reported by the OSC and Transient Name Server (TNS) along with the best matched templates from SNID. We find that 28 objects have been misclassified as SNe IIn.

Ryder3 Received 2006 March 10; accepted 2006 June 3 ABSTRACT We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) NICMOS continuum and Pa observations to study the near-infrared and star formation properties of a representative sample of 30 local (d 35–75 Mpc) luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs, infrared [8À1000 m] luminosities of log LIR ¼ 11 11:9 L ). The data provide spatial resolutions of 25–50 pc and cover the central 3.3–7.1 kpc regions of these galaxies. About half of the LIRGs show compact (1–2 kpc) Pa emission with a high surface brightness in the form of nuclear emission, rings, and minispirals. The rest of the sample show Pa emission along the disk and the spiral arms extending over scales of 3–7 kpc and larger. About half of the sample contains H ii regions with H luminosities significantly higher than those observed in normal galaxies. There is a linear empirical relationship between the mid-IR 24 m and hydrogen recombination (extinction-corrected Pa ) luminosity for these LIRGs, and the H ii regions in the central part of M51. This relation holds over more than four decades in luminosity, suggesting that the mid-IR emission is a good tracer of the star formation rate (SFR).
