... Roland Buser has provided an extensive collection of Kurucz (1979) model atmosphere spectra covering a wide range in metallicity, effective temperature, and gravity. ... The BK atlas is a library of stellar flux spectra calculated by Kurucz and Buser from theoretical model atmospheres. ... For convenient use, the BK atlas flux spectra have been subdivided into separate blocks (or sub-atlases) corresponding to the physical distinctions of their underlying model atmospheres, as described above. ...
CORES OR CUSPS IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES: LUMINOSITY OR ENVIRONMENT? ... The low lumi nosity disky galaxies have `hard' cores with a steep slope in the luminosity profile at small radii, whereas the luminous galaxies have `soft' cores with flat profiles at small radii (e.g. Faber et al. ... Coma Cluster cores In the gas/stellar continuum paradigm, one would expect that in the outer parts of a cluster it is more likely that the last merger was gaseous than in its central regions. ...
... Complex astrophysical phenomena could now be studied spectroscopically: the X-ray absorption line forest intrinsic to Seyfert galaxies; the interaction between AGN jets and intracluster media; hot winds of starburst galaxies; stellar coronal plasmas; the charge -exchange emission of Mars' exosphere; the X-ray irradiation of protoplanetary disks; and the myst erious flat-topped spectral line shapes of O star winds. ... We estimate that Gen-X will be able to detect and resolve 20, 000 stars in NGC...
ST-ECF Instrument Science Report ACS 2001-002 The Effective Spectral Resolution of the WFC and HRC Grism A. Pasquali, N. Pirzkal, J.R. Walsh, R.N. Hook, W. Freudling, R. Albrecht, R.A.E. Fosbury March 7, 2001 ABSTRACT We present SLIM simulations of the size and orientation with respect to by which the object extension along resolution of the grism. ... In the case of ACS, the nominal spectral resolution is 40 е/pix and 29 е/pix in the first order spectra of the WFC and HRC grism, respectively. ...
