... Science Users Information > Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: Planetary Nebulae and HII regions in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 5128 . ... NGC 5128 is the closest example of a giant early type (elliptical or S0) galaxy. Although often dubbed as a peculiar elliptical galaxy since it has a dust lane with recent star formation and an active galactic nucleus, the majority of early type galaxies have similar structures as revealed by recent surveys. ...

... It was shown in the early 1980's that spectral lines formed around 1-2.5 x 10 5 K were enhanced in radiance by factors up to 15-25 over the normal quiet Sun. From the dynamical viewpoint, this would suggest a pressure imbalance between the sunspot and the surrounding region. ... Here, the electron density was evaluated over a bright sunspot plume region using lines within the O V 760? multiplet. ... The derived densities in all four regions are indicated. ...

... Values have been scaled arbitrarily. High ratios are shown in blue, corresponding to blue colors, and low ratios are shown in red, corresponding to red colors. ... Noise combined with background subtraction difficulties in the lower left quadrant of the WISP1 data (see Fig. \ref{Fig:wisp_snr_mskd}) make colors in this area very unreliable. ... The values shown here are typically a factor of ~3 less than those calculated for the Schmidt data, shown in Figure \ref{Fig:bj_alpha}. ...

On these pages we present a subset of some observational data that was acquired with an Imaging Fabry-Perot and CCD detector. The Imaging Fabry-Perot is capable of producing some of the best kinematic data on galaxies. Basically, an image of the galaxy is taken in the light of an emission line, in this case, the light from H-alpha from regions of ionized hydrogen known as H II regions. ... H II regions are good tracers of spiral structure as can be seen in this H-alpha image of M33. ...
