  • Radio Continuum and CO Emission in Star-Forming Galaxies

Pichat 6/2, 40127 Bologna, Italy Received 30 October 2001 / Accepted 23 January 2002 Abstract. We combine the radio continuum images from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey with the CO-line observations from the extragalactic CO survey of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory to study the relationship between molecular gas and the star formation rate within the disks of 180 spiral galaxies at 4500 resolution. We find a tight correlation between these quantities. On average, the ratio between the radio continuum and the CO emission is constant, within a factor of 3, both inside the same galaxy and from galaxy to galaxy. The mean star formation efficiency deduced from the radio continuum corresponds to convert 3.5% of the available molecular gas into stars on a time scale of 108 yr and depends weakly on general galaxy properties, such as Hubble type or nuclear activity. A comparison is made with another similar analysis performed using the Hα luminosity as star formation indicator. The overall agreement we find between the two studies reinforces the use of the radio luminosity as star formation rate indicator not only on global but also on local scales.

  • Luminous Blue Variables
    Review Luminous Blue Variables Kerstin Weis 1* and Dominik J. Bomans 1,2,3 1 Astronomical Institute, Faculty for Physics and Astronomy, Ruhr University Bochum, 44801 Bochum, Germany 2 Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions, Ruhr University Bochum, 44801 Bochum, Germany 3 Ruhr Astroparticle and Plasma Physics (RAPP) Center, 44801 Bochum, Germany Received: 29 October 2019; Accepted: 18 February 2020; Published: 29 February 2020 Abstract: Luminous Blue Variables are massive evolved stars, here we introduce this outstanding class of objects. 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).

  • Planetary Nebulae
    Planetary Nebulae A planetary nebula is a kind of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from old red giant stars late in their lives. The term "planetary nebula" is a misnomer that originated in the 1780s with astronomer William Herschel because when viewed through his telescope, these objects appeared to him to resemble the rounded shapes of planets. Herschel's name for these objects was popularly adopted and has not been changed. They are a relatively short-lived phenomenon, lasting a few tens of thousands of years, compared to a typical stellar lifetime of several billion years. The mechanism for formation of most planetary nebulae is thought to be the following: at the end of the star's life, during the red giant phase, the outer layers of the star are expelled by strong stellar winds. Eventually, after most of the red giant's atmosphere is dissipated, the exposed hot, luminous core emits ultraviolet radiation to ionize the ejected outer layers of the star. Absorbed ultraviolet light energizes the shell of nebulous gas around the central star, appearing as a bright colored planetary nebula at several discrete visible wavelengths. Planetary nebulae may play a crucial role in the chemical evolution of the Milky Way, returning material to the interstellar medium from stars where elements, the products of nucleosynthesis (such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and neon), have been created. Planetary nebulae are also observed in more distant galaxies, yielding useful information about their chemical abundances. In recent years, Hubble Space Telescope images have revealed many planetary nebulae to have extremely complex and varied morphologies.

Pointers Is Dubhe Dubhe yellowish compared to Merak? 1 Merak THE PLOUGH Figure 1: Sketch of the northern sky in autumn. © Rob Peeling, CaDAS, 2007 version 1.2 Wynyard Planetarium & Observatory PUBLIC OBSERVING – Autumn North 1. On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. Close to the horizon is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan with the handle stretching to your left. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The two right-hand stars are called the Pointers. Can you tell that the higher of the two, Dubhe is slightly yellowish compared to the lower, Merak? Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white- hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you upwards to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the left are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.
