Studying the Interstellar Medium of H II/BCD Galaxies Using IFU Spectroscopy

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We review the results from our studies, and previous published work, on the spatially resolved physical properties of a sample of H ii/BCD galaxies, as obtained mainly from integral‐field unit spectroscopy with Gemini/GMOS and VLT/VIMOS. We confirm that, within observational uncertainties, our sample galaxies show nearly spatially constant chemical ...

An Ultraviolet Study of Star-Forming Regions in M31

, 2009
We present a comprehensive study of star-forming (SF) regions in the nearest large spiral galaxy M31. We use GALEX far-UV (1344-1786 \AA, FUV) and near-UV (1771-2831 \AA, NUV) imaging to detect young massive stars and trace the recent star formation ...

The Optical to Infrared 0.6–5.3 μm Dust Extinction Law of the Milky Way with JWST NIRSpec: Westerlund 2

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The interstellar extinction law is important for interpreting observations and inferring the properties of interstellar dust grains. Based on the 993 prism/CLEAR spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we investigate the 0.6–5.3 μ m ...

ULTRA FAST EVOLUTION OF SAKURAI's OBJECT

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
We model theoretical spectral energy distributions of the "born-again" V4334 Sgr for our grid of hydrogen-deficient model atmospheres with a range of Teff = 4000-5000 K and log g = 1.0 - 0.0.

Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

Are Wolf‐Rayet Stars Able to Pollute the Interstellar Medium of Galaxies? Results from Integral Field Spectroscopy

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We investigate the spatial distribution of chemical abundances in a sample of low metallicity Wolf‐Rayet (WR) galaxies selected from the SDSS. We used the integral field spectroscopy technique in the optical spectral range (3700 Å–6850 Å) with PMAS attached to the CAHA 3.5 m telescope.

Probing interstellar extinction near the 30 Doradus nebula with red giant stars

, 2013
We have studied the interstellar extinction in a field of 3' x 3' located about 6' SW of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Hubble Space Telescope observations in the U, B, V, I and Halpha bands reveal patchy extinction in this field.

Dust accretion and destruction in galaxy groups and clusters [PDF]

, 2010
We examine the dust distribution around a sample of 70,000 low redshift galaxy groups and clusters derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. By correlating spectroscopically identified background quasars with the galaxy groups we obtain the relative ...

Revisiting Variable Stars Near Globular Clusters South of −29° Declination

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT We review an often‐cited but seldom‐accessed catalogue by Fourcade and Laborde (1966) of 785 variable stars near 47 southern Galactic globular clusters, and recover the locations of 85 stars that were not incorporated into subsequent variable star catalogues and hence have become “lost” to the literature.

AGN Obscuration and the Unified Model

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of sight to the observer. The key ingredient of these models is the obscuring medium, historically envisaged as a toroidal structure on a parsec scale.
