There is often dust associated with ionized regions. Compact HII regions usually have associated dust from a molecular cloud in which the massive star is being "born". ... For such stars the dust is not produced by the star, and a variety of dust features are observed. The planetary nebulae also usually have associated dust from the previous stage of evolution where they were either carbon stars or M-type giants. ... The feature near 11.5 microns in the IC 418 spectrum may be due to SiC dust. ...

... About ATNF overview . ... Australia Telescope Steering Committee . ... LMC H II Region Luminosities versus . Observed Ionizing Stars . ... These values are compared to the observed H II region luminosities, yielding an estimate for the mean fraction of H-ionizing photons that escape the local nebulae in this sample. We formally estimate that, overall, 0-51% of the ionizing radiation escapes the local H II regions and is available to ionize the warm, ionized medium in the LMC. ...

... 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. ...

I-GALFA View of a Galactic Tangent Region . ... Image featured in NAIC Newsletter #46 . I-GALFA image of hydrogen gas in a tangent region outside the Sagittarius arm. ... Because we are viewing this gas in a direction closely aligned with (tangent to) its orbital motion, it appears to be moving away from us (we are orbiting the Galactic center with a similar speed, but our own motion in a different direction). ... The gas near 60 degrees longitude is being viewed tangent to its orbital motion. ...

... The concept of continuous solar wind developed in 1950's. First, Biermann (1951, 1957) observed comet tails as they passed close to the Sun , and explained the observed tail deflection by a continuous flux of protons from the Sun. Then Parker (1959) showed that the solar corona must expand, and called the outward streaming coronal gas 'solar wind'. ... The expanding solar wind drags also the solar magnetic field outward, forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) . ...

... A typical density of energetic ions is 1 per cubic cm., and the ions are matched by electrons, generally of lower energy. ... This region is almost empty of plasma--typical density 0.01 ion/cubic cm., the "best vacuum" in the Earth's vicinity--but it contains a relatively strong magnetic field which, since it fills a large volume, can store appreciable magnetic energy, Many believe that this is the storehouse from which substorms draw their energy, releasing it quite rapidly. ...

Dimmings or transient coronal holes (i.e. regions of decreased intensity of soft X-ray and EUV emission), which are observed on the solar disk after halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are analyzed using SOHO/EIT data simultaneously in three coronal lines Fe IX/X (171 A), Fe XII (195 A) and Fe IX (284 A) sensitive to temperatures Te~1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 MK, respectively, as well as in the transition region line He II (304 A; Te~(0.02-0.08) MK). ...

... We give a brief introduction to the physics and chemistry of photon dominated regions (PDRs) and the state of art of theoretical PDR modelling. We present observations of the [CII] and line emission of the Rosette Molecular Cloud. ...
