Optical Spectroscopy of the Eastern Filament of W50 O. Maryeva, P. Abolmasov, A. Burenkov and A. Moiseev Abstract: We present the results of long-slit and FPI spectroscopy of the Eastern optical filament of the radionebula W50, associated with the well-known peculiar binary SS433. ... Our results are consistent w ith the optical filaments being powered by the EUV/X-ray radiation from high-velocity shock waves in the Eastern lobe of W50 or from SS433. ...

... The 209 candidates were selected from our first and second priority samples introduced in Paper IV. Of 169 first priority candidates, 141 objects appeared in our list as new ones. 28 objects were listed in the NED as galaxies or objects from various catalogs with known redshifts and some of them already had information on emission lines in earlier publications. ... The ``random selected sample'' was created to access the fraction of BCGs in the second priority list and contains 43 objects. ...

... As the SN activity in the first generation stellar population must be small at present, the net SN rate in the vicinity of the Sun is approximately proportional to the local density of stars of second generation (or to the star formation rate, which is the same), especially for SN II and SN Ib. If a -like star formation of the first generation stars took place, a hump on the observed - showing the relative fraction of the first generation stars should be observed. ...

This source is hiding behind our Galaxy at a distance of ~18 Mpc, located at a galactic latitide of 0 degrees. ... As we look towards longer wavelengths, 60 micron, to try and penetrate the Galactic Plane, we still see confusion from galactic sources. ... If the image seems some what confusing that is because the MOST is a continuum radio telescope and when it looks in the direction of our Galaxy it detects radiation from sources within our Galaxy and from sources that may lie behind our Galaxy. ...

... Dust in the region is studied photometrically at ultraviolet, optical, and far-infrared wavelengths to analyze nebular colors, grain properties, and scattering geometry. Constraints on this geometry are provided by spectroscopy of radio emission lines and optical absorption lines of the interstellar gas, which also reveal a significant amount of fine-scale filamentary structure. ...

. The Siding Spring Southern Seyfert Spectroscopic Snapshot Survey (S7) is providing integral field spectroscopy on ~140 nearby active galaxies in the wavelength region 3300-7000 Angstroms at resolutions as high as 7000. In this talk, I present the first results of this survey. I show how, by combining data analysis with detailed photoionisation and shock modelling, we are gaining a new understanding of the physics of both Seyfert and LINER galaxies.
