Extended red emission (ERE) has been detected in many dusty astrophysical objects, raising the question of whether ERE is present only in discrete objects or if it is an observational feature of all dust, i.e., present in the diffuse interstellar medium. In order to answer this question, we determined the blue and red intensities of the radiation from the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) and examined the red intensity for the presence of an excess above that expected for scattered light. ...

Extracting spectra from a large number of NICMOS grism images requires a convenient interactive tool which allows a user to manipulate direct/grism image pairs. ... The direct image is used to locate objects of interest, to find the position of the appropriate spectra in the grism image, to determine the optimal extraction technique to use, and to calibrate the wavelength range of the extracted spectra. ...

... We detect three main diffuse components: the Virgo ICM at ~2.4 keV, the extended halo of M86 at ~1.2 keV, and the cooler central and stripped gas of M86 at ~0.8 keV. The most striking feature is a long tail of emission, which consists of a plume ~ 4' north of M86 and two main extensions emanating from the plume. ... Ram pressure stripping from an aspherical potential can also explain the split "double tails" seen in M86 and in other Virgo cluster galaxies in the field. ...
