61. LMC & SMC PNe optical spectroscopy. III
ID:

Title:
LMC & SMC PNe optical spectroscopy. III
Short Name:
J/ApJS/83/87
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present optical spectroscopy in the range 3300-7400A for a total of 52 planetary nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and 18 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Together with the object from the first (1991ApJS...75..407M) and second (1991ApJS...76.1085M) papers, we now have accurate emission-line intensities for a total of 147 nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds. This sample contains a large selection of objects of low luminosity, with measurements of line intensities down to ~10% of H{beta}. Brighter objects have line intensities measured down to ~2% of H{beta}. Agreement with other authors is generally very good, especially for lines greater than approximately 10% of H{beta}. Reddening estimates from Balmer line ratios have been determined: unreddened and reddened line intensities are tabulated.

64. MAMMOTH-1 450 and 850um images

MAMMOTH-1 450 and 850um images

Description:
In the hierarchical model of structure formation, giant elliptical galaxies form through merging processes within the highest density peaks known as protoclusters. While high-redshift radio galaxies usually pinpoint the location of these environments, we have recently discovered at z~2-3 three enormous (>200kpc) Lyman-alpha nebulae (ELANe) that host multiple active galactic nuclei (AGN) and that are surrounded by overdensities of Lyman- emitters (LAE). These regions are prime candidates for massive protoclusters in the early stages of assembly. To characterize the star-forming activity within these rare structures - both on ELAN and protocluster scales - we have initiated an observational campaign with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescopes. In this paper we report on sensitive SCUBA-2/JCMT 850 and 450um observations of a 128 arcmin^2^ field comprising the ELAN MAMMOTH-1, together with the peak of the hosting BOSS1441 LAE overdensity at z=2.32. These observations unveil 4.0+/-1.3 times higher source counts at 850um with respect to blank fields, likely confirming the presence of an overdensity also in obscured tracers. We find a strong detection at 850um associated with the continuum source embedded within the ELAN MAMMOTH-1, which - together with the available data from the literature - allow us to constrain the spectral energy distribution of this source to be of an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) with a far-infrared luminosity of L^SF^_FIR_=2.4^+7.4^+_-2.1_x10^12^L_{sun}_, and hosting an obscured AGN. Such a source is thus able to power a hard photoionization plus outflow scenario to explain the extended Lyman-, HeII1640; and CIV1549 emission, and their kinematics. In addition, the two brightest detections at 850um (f_850_>18mJy) sit at the density peak of the LAEs; overdensity, likely pinpointing the core of the protocluster. Future multiwavelength and spectroscopic datasets targeting the full extent of the BOSS1441 overdensity have the potential to firmly characterize a cosmic nursery of giant elliptical galaxies, and ultimately of a massive cluster.

66. MIPS 24um nebulae
ID:

Title:
MIPS 24um nebulae
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/405/1047
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Massive evolved stars lose a large fraction of their mass via copious stellar wind or instant outbursts. During certain evolutionary phases, they can be identified by the presence of their circumstellar nebulae. In this paper, we present the results of a search for compact nebulae (reminiscent of circumstellar nebulae around evolved massive stars) using archival 24um data obtained with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer. We have discovered 115 nebulae, most of which bear a striking resemblance to the circumstellar nebulae associated with luminous blue variables (LBVs) and late WN-type (WNL) Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

Title:
M17-SW datacubes in C and CO lines
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We probe the column densities and masses traced by the ionized [CII] and neutral [CI] atomic carbon with spectrally resolved maps, and compare them to the diffuse and dense molecular gas traced by [CI] and low-J CO lines toward the star-forming region M17 SW. We mapped a 4.1pcx4.7pc region in the [CI] 609{mu}m line using the APEX telescope, as well as the CO isotopologues with the IRAM 30m telescope. Data are analyzed based on velocity channel maps that are 1km/s wide. We correlate their spatial distribution with that of the [CII] map obtained with SOFIA/GREAT. Optically thin approximations were used to estimate the column densities of [CI] and [CII] in each velocity channel.
68. MWC 922 XSHOOTER spectra

Title:
MWC 922 XSHOOTER spectra
Short Name:
J/A+A/601/A69
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Medium-resolution echelle spectra of the Red Square Nebula surrounding the star MWC 922 are presented. The spectra have been obtained in 2010 and 2012 using the XSHOOTER spectrograph mounted on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Paranal, Chile. The spectrum covers a wavelength range between 300nm-2.5um and shows that the nebula is rich in emission lines. We aim to identify the emission lines and use them as a tool to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the nebula. The emission lines are also used to put constraints on the structure of the nebula and on the nature of the central stars. We analyzed and identified emission lines that indicated that the Red Square Nebula consists of a low density bipolar outflow, eminent in the broad emission component seen in [FeII], as well as in P Cygni line profiles indicative of fast outflowing material. The narrow component in the [FeII] lines is most likely formed in the photosphere of a surrounding disk. Some of the emission lines show a pronounced double peaked profile, such as CaII, indicating an accretion disk in Keplerian rotation around the central star. [OI] emission lines are formed in the neutral atomic zone separating the ionized disk photosphere from the molecular gas in the interior of the disk, which is prominent in molecular CO emission in the near-IR. [NII] and [SII] emission clearly originates in a low density but fairly hot (7000-10000K) nebular environment. HI recombination lines trace the extended nebula as well as the photosphere of the disk.
