Described are the specific characteristics, the evolutionary state and what they are connected to other phases and types of massive stars. Our current knowledge of LBVs is limited by the fact that in comparison to other stellar classes and phases only a few “true” LBVs are known. This results from the lack of a unique, fast and always reliable identification scheme for LBVs. It literally takes time to get a true classification of a LBV. In addition the short duration of the LBV phase makes it even harder to catch and identify a star as LBV. We summarize here what is known so far, give an overview of the LBV population and the list of LBV host galaxies. LBV are clearly an important and still not fully understood phase in the live of (very) massive stars, especially due to the large and time variable mass loss during the LBV phase. We like to emphasize again the problem how to clearly identify LBV and that there are more than just one type of LBVs: The giant eruption LBVs or h Car analogs and the S Dor cycle LBVs.

  • Photo-Ionization Models of NGC 2363 and Their Implications
    Wolf-Rayet Phenomena in Massive Stars and Starburst Galaxies Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 193, @1999 IAU K.A. van der Hucht, G. Koenigsberger f3 P.R.J. Eenens, eds. Photo-ionization models of NGC 2363 and their implications Valentina Luridiana and Manuel Peimbert Instituto de Astronomic, UNAM, Mexico Claus Leitherer Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, MD, USA. Abstract. We compute photo-ionization models for the giant extragalactic H II region NGC 2363, and compare them with optical observational data. We focus on the following observational constraints: F(Hj3), Ni; EW(Hj3), and the ratios of I(A 5007), I(A 4363), I(A 3727), I(A 6300), I(A 6720) and I(A 4686) rel- ative to I(Hj3). We discuss the variations of the emission spectra obtained with different input parameters. We show that low metallicity models (Z == 0.10 Zev) cannot reproduce the observed features of the spectrum, and that the disagree- ment can be satisfactorily overcome by allowing for spatial temperature fluctu- ations in the nebula. Accordingly, we show that the metallicity of NGC 2363 has most probably been underestimated, and that a value of Z ~ 0.25 Zev is in better agreement with the observational data than the usually adopted value Z ~ 0.10 Zev. We also derive values for the slope and the high mass end of the IMF, as well as the age of the stellar cluster. 1. Introduction NGC 2363 is a very luminous giant H II region, located in the south-west end of the irregular galaxy NGC 2366. It is one of the brightest extragalactic H II re- 6 gions known, with an estimated mass of about 2.2 x 10 M0 (Carigi & Peimbert 1999).

The similarities are driven predominantly by the giant H II region Markarian 71 (Mrk 71). We compare the system with GPs in terms of morphology, excitation properties, specific star-formation rate, kinematics, absorption of low-ionization species, reddening, and chemical abundance, and find consistencies throughout. Since extreme GPs are associated with both candidate and confirmed Lyman continuum (LyC) emitters, Mrk 71/NGC 2366 is thus also a good candidate for LyC escape. The spatially resolved data for this object show a superbubble blowout generated by mechanical feedback from one of its two super star clusters (SSCs), Knot B, while the extreme ionization properties are driven by the . 1 Myr-old, enshrouded SSC Knot A, which has ∼ 10 times higher ionizing luminosity. Very massive stars (> 100 M ) may be present in this remarkable object. Ionization-parameter mapping indicates the blowout region is optically thin in the LyC, and the general properties also suggest LyC escape in the line of sight.

  • Can Stellar Winds Account for Temperature Fluctuations in H II

M¨unchen, Germany Received 13 August 2001 / Accepted 25 September 2001 Abstract. We compare the rate of kinetic energy injected by stellar winds into the extragalactic Hiiregion NGC 2363 to the luminosity needed to feed the observed temperature fluctuations. The kinetic luminosity asso- ciated to the winds is estimated by means of two different evolutionary synthesis codes, one of which takes into account the statistical fluctuations expected in the Initial Mass Function. We find that, even in the most favorable conditions considered by our model, such luminosity is much smaller than the luminosity needed to account for the observed temperature fluctuations. The assumptions underlying our study are emphasized as possible sources of uncertainty affecting our results. Key words. Hiiregions – ISM: individual (NGC 2366, NGC 2363) – stars: clusters 1.

Elmegreen IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, PO Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 USA; [email protected] and Hugo van Woerden Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, Postbus 800, 9700 AV Groningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] ABSTRACT We present deep UBVJHKHα images and HI maps of the irregular galaxy NGC 2366. Optically, NGC 2366 is a boxy-shaped exponential disk seen at high inclination angle. The scale length and central surface brightness of the disk are normal for late-type galaxies. Although NGC 2366 has been classified as a barred Im galaxy, we do not see any unambiguous observational signature of a bar. There is an asymmetrical extension of stars along one end of the major axis of the galaxy, and this is where the furthest star-forming regions are found, at a radius of 1.3 times the Holmberg radius. The star formation activity of the galaxy is dominated by the supergiant H ii complex NGC 2363, but the global star formation rate for NGC 2366 is only moderately elevated relative to other Im galaxies. The star formation activity drops off with radius arXiv:astro-ph/0104091v1 4 Apr 2001 approximately as the starlight in the inner part of the galaxy but it drops faster in the outer part. There are some peculiar features of the HI distribution and kinematics. First, the integrated HI shows two ridges running parallel to the major axis that when deprojected appear as a large ring.

  • 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.
