Filter Performance Comparisons for Some Common Nebulae
Filter Performance Comparisons For Some Common Nebulae By Dave Knisely Light Pollution and various “nebula” filters have been around since the late 1970’s, and amateurs have been using them ever since to bring out detail (and even some objects) which were difficult to impossible to see before in modest apertures. When I started using them in the early 1980’s, specific information about which filter might work on a given object (or even whether certain filters were useful at all) was often hard to come by. Even those accounts that were available often had incomplete or inaccurate information. Getting some observational experience with the Lumicon line of filters helped, but there were still some unanswered questions. I wondered how the various filters would rank on- average against each other for a large number of objects, and whether there was a “best overall” filter. In particular, I also wondered if the much-maligned H-Beta filter was useful on more objects than the two or three targets most often mentioned in publications. In the summer of 1999, I decided to begin some more comprehensive observations to try and answer these questions and determine how to best use these filters overall. I formulated a basic survey covering a moderate number of emission and planetary nebulae to obtain some statistics on filter performance to try to address the following questions: 1. How do the various filter types compare as to what (on average) they show on a given nebula? 2. Is there one overall “best” nebula filter which will work on the largest number of objects? 3. -
A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short). -

DRAFT VERSION SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX62 Polar Dust, Nuclear Obscuration and IR SED Diversity in Type-1 AGNs ∗ JIANWEI LYU (吕建伟 )1 AND GEORGE H. RIEKE1 1 Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, 933 North Cherry Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA (Received 2018 May 15; Revised 2018 August 29; Accepted 2018 September 8) Submitted to ApJ ABSTRACT Despite the hypothesized similar face-on viewing angles, the infrared emission of type-1 AGNs has diverse spectral energy distribution (SED) shapes that deviate substantially from the well-characterized quasar tem- plates. Motivated by the commonly-seen UV-optical obscuration and the discovery of parsec-scale mid-IR polar dust emission in some nearby AGNs, we develop semi-empirical SED libraries for reddened type-1 AGNs built on the quasar intrinsic templates, assuming low-level extinction caused by an extended distribution of large dust grains. We demonstrate that this model can reproduce the nuclear UV-to-IR SED and the strong mid-IR polar dust emission of NGC 3783, the type-1 AGN with the most relevant and robust observational constraints. In addition, we compile 64 low-z Seyfert-1 nuclei with negligible mid-IR star formation contamination and satisfactorily fit the individual IR SEDs as well as the composite UV to mid-IR composite SEDs. Given the success of these fits, we characterize the possible infrared SED of AGN polar dust emission and utilize a simple but effective strategy to infer its prevalence among type-1 AGNs. The SEDs of high-z peculiar AGNs, including the extremely red quasars, mid-IR warm-excess AGNs, and hot dust-obscured galaxies, can be also reproduced by our model. -
Observing Galaxies in Pegasus 01 October 2015 23:07
Observing galaxies in Pegasus 01 October 2015 23:07 Context As you look towards Pegasus you are looking below the galactic plane under the Orion spiral arm of our galaxy. The Perseus-Pisces supercluster wall of galaxies runs through this constellation. It stretches from RA 3h +40 in Perseus to 23h +10 in Pegasus and is around 200 million light years away. It includes the Pegasus I group noted later this document. The constellation is well placed from mid summer to late autumn. Pegasus is a rich constellation for galaxy observing. I have observed 80 galaxies in this constellation. Relatively bright galaxies This section covers the galaxies that were visible with direct vision in my 16 inch or smaller scopes. This list will therefore grow over time as I have not yet viewed all the galaxies in good conditions at maximum altitude in my 16 inch scope! NGC 7331 MAG 9 This is the stand out galaxy of the constellation. It is similar to our milky way. Around it are a number of fainter NGC galaxies. I have seen the brightest one, NGC 7335 in my 10 inch scope with averted vision. I have seen NGC 7331 in my 25 x 100mm binoculars. NGC 7814 - Mag 10 ? Not on observed list ? This is a very lovely oval shaped galaxy. By constellation Page 1 NGC 7332 MAG 11 / NGC 7339 MAG 12 These galaxies are an isolated bound pair about 67 million light years away. NGC 7339 is the fainter of the two galaxies at the eyepiece. I have seen NGC 7332 in my 25 x 100mm binoculars. -

Understanding the H2/HI Ratio in Galaxies 3
Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 394, 1857–1874 (2009) Printed 6 August 2021 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) Understanding the H2/HI Ratio in Galaxies D. Obreschkow and S. Rawlings Astrophysics, Department of Physics, University of Oxford, Keble Road, Oxford, OX1 3RH, UK Accepted 2009 January 12 ABSTRACT galaxy We revisit the mass ratio Rmol between molecular hydrogen (H2) and atomic hydrogen (HI) in different galaxies from a phenomenological and theoretical viewpoint. First, the local H2- mass function (MF) is estimated from the local CO-luminosity function (LF) of the FCRAO Extragalactic CO-Survey, adopting a variable CO-to-H2 conversion fitted to nearby observa- 5 1 tions. This implies an average H2-density ΩH2 = (6.9 2.7) 10− h− and ΩH2 /ΩHI = 0.26 0.11 ± · galaxy ± in the local Universe. Second, we investigate the correlations between Rmol and global galaxy properties in a sample of 245 local galaxies. Based on these correlations we intro- galaxy duce four phenomenological models for Rmol , which we apply to estimate H2-masses for galaxy each HI-galaxy in the HIPASS catalog. The resulting H2-MFs (one for each model for Rmol ) are compared to the reference H2-MF derived from the CO-LF, thus allowing us to determine the Bayesian evidence of each model and to identify a clear best model, in which, for spi- galaxy ral galaxies, Rmol negatively correlates with both galaxy Hubble type and total gas mass. galaxy Third, we derive a theoretical model for Rmol for regular galaxies based on an expression for their axially symmetric pressure profile dictating the degree of molecularization. -

SARGENT Palomar Observatory, California Institute of Technology, MS 105-24, Pasadena, CA 91125 To appear in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. ABSTRACT We present new central stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 428 galaxies in the Palomar spectroscopic survey of bright, northern galaxies. Of these, 142 have no previously published measurements, most being rela- −1 tively late-type systems with low velocity dispersions (∼<100kms ). We provide updates to a number of literature dispersions with large uncertainties. Our measurements are based on a direct pixel-fitting technique that can ac- commodate composite stellar populations by calculating an optimal linear combination of input stellar templates. The original Palomar survey data were taken under conditions that are not ideally suited for deriving stellar veloc- ity dispersions for galaxies with a wide range of Hubble types. We describe an effective strategy to circumvent this complication and demonstrate that we can still obtain reliable velocity dispersions for this sample of well-studied nearby galaxies.
