Decomposition of the central structure of NGC 2273 in the NIR: A case study

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 10, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2273 is a prime target to explore how active nuclei can be fed. It has a star‐forming innermost nuclear ring with a radius of 0.33kpc from where material may be funneled to the supermassive black hole in its center. In this article, we discuss high‐resolution adaptive optics aided JHKs images of NGC 2273 taken with the

Multiwavelength astrophysics of the blazar OJ 287 and the project MOMO

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 4, May 2023., 2023
Abstract We are carrying out the densest and longest multiyear, multiwavelength monitoring project of OJ 287 ever done. The project MOMO (Multiwavelength Observations and Modeling of OJ 287) covers wavelengths from the radio to the high‐energy regime. A few selected observations are simultaneous with those of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

Chemical abundances in the dwarf galaxy NGC 4163 based on the nebular and auroral emission lines

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 343, Issue 9-10, November-December 2022., 2022
Abstract We constructed an oxygen abundance map and N/O ratio map of the unusually low excitation dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 4163 based on publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. We detected auroral emission line [O II]λλ$$ \lambda \lambda $$7320,7330 which allows us to measure chemical abundance by direct Te$$ {\mathrm{T}}_e ...

An investigation of open cluster Melotte 72 using Gaia DR2

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 342, Issue 4, Page 613-624, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The estimation of the main parameters of star clusters is significant in astrophysical studies. The most important aspect of using the Gaia DR2 survey lies in the positions, parallax, and proper motions of cluster stars with homogeneous photometry that make the membership probability determine with high accuracy.

1I/‘Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an exo‐Pluto Surface: I. Size and Compositional Constraints

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The origin of the interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua has defied explanation. We perform calculations of the non‐gravitational acceleration that would be experienced by bodies composed of a range of different ices and demonstrate that a body composed of N2 ice would satisfy the available constraints on the non‐gravitational acceleration, size ...

The Shape of the Interstellar Reddening Curve [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1965
When the Observed Spectral Intensity Distribution of an early-type star has been freed from the distortions caused by absorption in the Earth's atmosphere and by instrumental sensitivity factors, it is a measure of the true spectral intensity distribution of the star and of the modifications to that distribution caused by the interstellar material ...

The Correlation of Interstellar Reddening and Lα Absorption [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1973
For 61 stars whose interstellar Lα absorption was observed by OAO-2, the average relation of H I column density to B – V color excess is equal to 5 × 1021 atoms cm–2 mag–1. For a recent dust grain model this value implies that the density ratio 〈ρHI/ρdust〉 ≈ 100.
