High resolution measurements and modeling of auroral hydrogen emission line profiles [PDF]
Measurements in the visible wavelength range at high spectral resolution (1.3 A° ) have been made at Longyearbyen, Svalbard (15.8 E,78.2 N) during an interval of intense proton precipitation.

The profile of the hydrogen Hβ emission line in proton aurora [PDF]
Models of hydrogen‐proton transport in proton aurora predict the line profile of the hydrogen emissions from specified incident proton precipitation. We are using a model that includes collisional angular redistribution which leads to upward moving proton and hydrogen fluxes.

Hαemission-line stars in molecular clouds [PDF]
We present a deep survey of Halpha emission-line stars in the M42 region using wide-field objective prism films. A total of 1699 Halpha emission-line stars were identified, of which 1025 were previously unknown, within an area of 5.5 x 5.5 degrees centred on the Trapezium Cluster.

A slitless spectroscopic survey for Hαemission-line objects in SMC clusters [PDF]
This paper checks on the roles of metallicity and evolutionary age in the appearance of the so-called Be phenomenon. Slitless CCD spectra were obtained covering the bulk of the Small Magellanic Cloud. For Halpha line emission twice as strong as the ambient continuum, the survey is complete to spectral type B2/B3 on the main sequence. About 8120 spectra

Origins of the H, He I, and Ca II Line Emission in Classical T Tauri Stars [PDF]
We perform local excitation calculations to obtain line opacities and emissivity ratios and compare them with observed properties of H, He I, O I, Ca II, and Na I lines to determine the density, temperature, and photon ionization rate. We find that UV photoionization is the most probable excitation mechanism for generating the He I 10830 opacities that

Broad-line region geometry from multiple emission lines in a single-epoch spectrum [PDF]
The broad-line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) traces gas close to the central supermassive black hole (BH). Recent reverberation mapping (RM) and interferometric spectro-astrometry data have enabled detailed investigations of the BLR ...

Detection of an H$\alpha$ Emission Line on a Quasar, RX J1759.4$+$6638, at Z = 4.3 with AKARI [PDF]
We report on the detection of an H$\alpha$ emission line in the low-resolution spectrum of a quasar, RX J1759.4$+$6638, at a redshift of 4.3 with the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI. This is the first spectroscopic detection of an H$\alpha$ emission line in a quasar beyond $z =$ 4. The overall spectral energy distribution (SED) of RX J1759.4$+$6638

Hαemission line spectroscopy in NGC 330
We perform an observational test on global oscillations in Be star circumstellar disks in the metal deficient environment of the SMC. According to the hybrid model of disk oscillations early-type Be stars require an optically thin line force to establish a density wave.

Intense molecular emission from the Lagoon nebula, M8 [PDF]
The discovery is reported of the second strongest source of mm and submm wavelength CO line emission, towards M8, the Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius. The ~31 M⊙ molecular core has dimensions ~0.2 x 0.3pc and is centred on the O7V star Herschel 36 (H36 ...
