- Description:
- About 700 stars, mostly OB-stars, were observed by the author at the former Leiden Southern Station at Hartebees poortdam, South Africa, in the observing seasons 1965, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1977, 1978. Observations were made in the five channels of the Walraven photometric system. Due to weathering of the telescope mirror the W channel gave no reliable results for the faintest stars (m=11mag); in these cases the U-W colour index is not given. The change in sensitivity in the V channel, supposedly having occurred in 1968, was not recognised. For a description of the Walraven VBLUW photometric system, see e.g. <GCPD/11>

23607. W Aql APEX spectrum

- Description:
- W Aql is an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star with an atmospheric elemental abundance ratio C/O~=0.98. It has previously been reported to have circumstellar molecular abundances intermediate between those of M-type and C-type AGB stars, which respectively have C/O<1 and C/O>1. This intermediate status is considered typical for S-type stars, although our understanding of the chemical content of their circumstellar envelopes is currently rather limited. We wish to assess the reported intermediate status of W Aql by analysing the line emission of molecules that have not been observed towards this star before. We have performed observations in the frequency range 159-268GHz with the SEPIA/B5 and PI230 instruments on the APEX telescope. We make abundance estimates through direct comparison to available spectra towards a number of well-studied AGB stars and based on rotational diagram analysis in the case of one molecule. From a compilation of our abundance estimates and those found in the literature for two M-type (R Dor, IK Tau), two S-type ({chi} Cyg, W Aql), and two C-type stars (V Aql, IRC +10 216), we conclude that W Aql's circumstellar environment appears considerably closer to that of a C-type AGB star than to that of an M-type AGB star. In particular, we detect emission from C_2_H, SiC_2_, SiN, and HC_3_N, molecules previously only detected towards the circumstellar environment of C-type stars. This conclusion, based on the chemistry of the gaseous component of the circumstellar environment, is further supported by reports in the literature on the presence of atmospheric molecular bands and spectral features of dust species which are typical for C-type AGB stars. Although our observations mainly trace species in the outer regions of the circumstellar environment, our conclusion matches closely that based on recent chemical equilibrium models for the inner wind of S-type stars: the atmospheric and circumstellar chemistry of S-type stars likely resembles that of C-type AGB stars much more closely than that of M-type AGB stars. Further observational investigation of the gaseous circumstellar chemistry of S-type stars is required to characterise its dependence on the atmospheric C/O. Non-equilibrium chemical models of the circumstellar environment of AGB stars need to address the particular class of S-type stars and the chemical variety that is induced by the range in atmospheric C/O.

- Title:
- Warm dust near methanol masers
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/410/597
- Date:

- Description:
- Continuum emission at 450 and 850{mu}m from warm dust has been mapped in the fields of 71 methanol masers. Within these fields lie 30 centimetre-wave radio continuum sources and an additional 13 methanol maser sites. Sub-mm emission is detected at all but one of the maser sites, confirming the association of methanol maser emission with deeply embedded objects. Measured bolometric luminosities confirm that methanol maser emission is an excellent signpost of high-mass star formation. Examples of nearby isolated maserless dust cores may be harbouring massive protostars at an earlier evolutionary stage.

- Warm IRAS sources. I. AGN candidates
- Short Name:
- J/A+AS/70/95
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have previously shown that a blue (warm) 60 to 25{mu}m infrared colour provides a powerful parameter for discriminating between AGNs and normal galaxies and that the far-IR spectrum is therefore an efficient tool for finding new AGNs (de Grijp et al., 1985Natur.314..140D) Here we present a list of such AGN candidates based on warm IR sources from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (PSC, Cat. II/125). Identification data and finding charts are also given. In addition the list of warm IRAS sources is supplemented by a compendium of data from the IRAS PSC on detected sources identified with previously known AGNs whose infrared spectra do not bring them within our colour selection criterion

- Warm IRAS sources. II.

- Description:
- We present optical spectra for a sample of 563 high-latitude IRAS sources selected from the Point Source Catalog to have relatively warm 25 to 60 micron colours. We have shown this selection criterion to be an efficient indicator for finding Seyfert galaxies. Plots of the optical spectra are shown and the fluxes of the strongest emission lines in these spectra are tabulated. After excluding 128 sources which are clearly galactic foreground objects, we obtained spectroscopic information for 358 extragalactic objects. Emission-line ratios have been used to classify these objects, resulting in 80 Seyfert 1, 141 Seyfert 2 and 133 HII-type objects. In comparison with samples of active nuclei selected in other ways, about 50% of known Seyfert nuclei are included by our colour criteria. This fraction is larger for high luminosities, reaching 80% for quasar luminosities. For lower-luminosity objects, contamination by the host galaxies becomes important and the sample becomes seriously incomplete. It should be moderately complete and representative for core luminosities greater than 10^23.5^W/Hz at 12m. Finally, the infrared luminosity function for each type of object is derived; the shapes for Seyfert 1 and 2 nuclei are identical, with a type 2/type 1 space-density ratio of 3.0. Our census is consistent with an obscuration scheme for producing both types of object from a single parent population, though the origin of excess cool IR radiation Irom many Seyferts is still unclear. We note the appearance of an apparent type II supernova in IRAS 0225-103 observed in 1985 September. Its spectrum suggests that it was observed between 1 and 2 months after maximum, perhaps in a "plateau" phase.
