... 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. ...

... 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. ...

Although I am interested in the nebular physics of PNs, my main interest is the dust in and around PNs. We normally observe the dust either from the mid-infrared spectra of PNs (see below) or by direct imaging. ... Image credit: NASA, ESA, and R. Ciardullo. I study the dust in and around PNs to see how it compares to the dust in evolved stars and proto-planetary nebulae . ... This spectrum was taken with the slit oriented along the bright bar of the nebula (see the PN images page ). ...

SAS home . ... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract PN spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with epproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name PN.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...

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. ...
