- Description:
- A consistent set of spectroscopic constants for the a^1^{Delta}, d^1^{Sigma}^+^, b^1^{Pi}, c^1^{Phi}, and f^1^{Delta} states of ^48^Ti^16^O has been determined from analysis of the b^1^{Pi}-a^1^{Delta}, b^1^{Pi}-d^1^{Sigma}^+^, c^1^{Phi}-a^1^{Delta}, and f^1^{Delta}-a^1^{Delta} systems. Three Fourier transform emission spectra have been used for the analysis. New bands of the b^1^{Pi}-a^1^{Delta} and c^1^{Phi}-a^1^{Delta} systems have been fitted. The first analysis of the c^1^{Phi}-a^1^{Delta} system using Fourier transform spectra is also provided. Extensive and improved line positions are measured. TiO is prominent in the spectra of oxygen-rich cool stellar objects and may be present in hot-Jupiter exoplanet atmospheres.

- Description:
- While collisionally excited lines in HII regions allow one to easily probe the chemical composition of the interstellar medium in galaxies, the possible presence of important temperature fluctuations casts some doubt on the derived abundances. To provide new insights into this question, we have carried out a detailed study of a giant HII region, H1013, located in the galaxy M101, for which many observational data exist and which has been claimed to harbour temperature temperature fluctuations at a level of t^2^=0.03-0.06.

- Description:
- We present initial results of a deep near-IR spectroscopic survey covering the 15 fields of the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey using the recently commissioned MOSFIRE spectrometer on the Keck 1 telescope. We focus on a sample of 251 galaxies with redshifts 2.0<z<2.6, star formation rates (SFRs) 2<~SFR<~200 M_{sun}_/yr, and stellar masses 8.6<log(M_*_/M_{sun}_)<11.4, with high-quality spectra in both H- and K-band atmospheric windows. We show unambiguously that the locus of z~2.3 galaxies in the "BPT" nebular diagnostic diagram exhibits an almost entirely disjointed, yet similarly tight, relationship between the line ratios [N II] {lambda}6585/H{alpha} and [O III]/H{beta} as compared to local galaxies. Using photoionization models, we argue that the offset of the z~2.3 BPT locus relative to that at z~0 is caused by a combination of harder stellar ionizing radiation field, higher ionization parameter, and higher N/O at a given O/H compared to most local galaxies, and that the position of a galaxy along the z~2.3 star-forming BPT locus is surprisingly insensitive to gas-phase oxygen abundance. The observed nebular emission line ratios are most easily reproduced by models in which the net stellar ionizing radiation field resembles a blackbody with effective temperature T_eff_=50000-60000 K, the gas-phase oxygen abundances lie in the range 0.2<Z/Z_{sun}_<1.0, and the ratio of gas-phase N/O is close to the solar value. We critically assess the applicability at high redshift of commonly used strong line indices for estimating gas-phase metallicity, and consider the implications of the small intrinsic scatter of the empirical relationship between excitation-sensitive line indices and M_*_(i.e., the "mass-metallicity" relation) at z=~2.3.

- Lines and continuum sky emission in the NIR

- Description:
- Determining the intensity of lines and continuum airglow emission in the H-band is important for the design of faint-object infrared spectrographs. Existing spectra at low/medium resolution cannot disentangle the true sky-continuum from instrumental effects (e.g. diffuse light in the wings of strong lines). We aim to obtain, for the first time, a high resolution infrared spectrum deep enough to set significant constraints on the continuum emission between the lines in the H-band. During the second commissioning run of the GIANO high-resolution spectrograph at the La Palma Observatory, we pointed the instrument directly to the sky and obtained a deep spectrum that extends from 0.97 to 2.4 micron and includes the whole H-band. The spectrum shows about 1500 emission lines, a factor of two more than in previous works. Of these, 80% are identified as OH transitions; half of these are from highly excited molecules (hot-OH component). The other lines are attributable to O_2_ or unidentified. Several of the faint lines are in spectral regions that were previously believed to be free of lines emission. The continuum in the H-band is marginally detected at a level of about 300photons/m^2^/s/arcsec^2^/um. The observed spectrum and the list of observed sky-lines are published in electronic format. Our measurements indicate that the sky continuum in the H-band could be even darker than previously believed. However, the myriad of airglow emission lines severely limits the spectral ranges where very low background can be effectively achieved with low/medium resolution spectrographs. We identify a few spectral bands that could still remain quite dark at the resolving power foreseen for VLT-MOONS (R~6,600).

- Description:
- We list 603 spectral lines between 1.0, 1.8um that are judged to be relatively unblended from a visual inspection of spectra of the quiet sun. Much of the atomic data of relevance to studies of solar and stellar magnetism, convection and atmospheric structure are also provided. Particular attention is paid to blending by telluric lines. We determine the level of blending both in the presence and the absence of telluric lines. We also describe how telluric blends may be removed from spectra with high spectral resolution.

- Description:
- This catalog contains wavelength information for 99 different atomic species. The wavelengths for about 46,610 spectral lines of neutral through quadruply ionized atoms are tabulated. The information is presented in a general table of headers and references for each element and for each element a table of relative intensities, wavelengths ordered numerically, chemical elements, and stages of ionization indicated for each line in the wavelength range 40 to 40,000 Angstroms. Listed in the 99 data files are lines that appear in emission from the vacuum ultraviolet to the far infrared. For most atoms these lines are chosen from much larger lists so as to include the stronger observed lines in each spectral region. Below 2000 Angstroms the wavelengths are in vacuum; above 2000 Angstroms the wavelengths are in air. Wavelengths given to three decimal places are suitable for spectrograph calibration purpose such as Ne, Ar, Kr, Fe in the air region and C, N, O, Si, and Cu in the vacuum region. The intensity estimates are useful only as a rough indication of the appearance of a spectrum. The literature references as they appear the the the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics are given in a separate file.

- Line-strength indices for 74 early-type galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/691/1862
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present line-strength measurements for 74 early-type galaxies in the core of the Coma cluster reaching down to velocity dispersions, {sigma}, of 30km/s. The index-{sigma} relations for our sample, including galaxies with {sigma}<100km/s (low-{sigma}), differ in shape depending on which index is used. We note two types of relations for the metallic indices: one showing a break in the slope around ~100km/s and another group with strong linear relations between an index and log {sigma}. We find no connection between the behavior of index-{sigma} relations with either {alpha}- or Fe-peak elements. However, we find indications that the relations are tighter for indices which do not depend on the microturbulent velocities of stellar atmospheres.

- Description:
- We have derived high quality line-strength indices and velocity dispersions for a sample of 148 early-type galaxies in different environments. The wavelength region covered by the observations (lambda~4600 to 6600{AA}) includes the Lick/IDS indices Hbeta, Mg_1_, Mg_2_, Mgb, Fe5015, Fe5270, Fe5335, Fe5406, Fe5709, Fe5782, NaD, TiO_1_ and TiO_2_. The data are intended to address possible differences of the stellar populations of early-type galaxies in low- and high-density environments. This paper describes the sample properties, explains the data reduction and presents the complete list of all the measurements. Most galaxies of the sample (85%) had no previous measurements of any Lick/IDS indices and for 30% of the galaxies we present first-time determinations of their velocity dispersions. Special care is taken to identify galaxies with emission lines. We found that 62 per cent of the galaxies in the sample have emission lines, as measured by the equivalent width of the [0III]5007{AA} line, EW[OIII]~>~0.3{AA}.

- Description:
- Optical spectroscopy, imaging and radio observations of the galaxy IC 4200 are analysed in order to determine the formation history of the galaxy. The two tables available contain informations extracted from the long-slit spectra of IC 4200. The spectra were taken with ESO/NTT/EMMI mounted on the NTT on 12 July 2004, as described in Sec. 3.2 and in Table 4 of the paper. tablec1.dat contains informations on the stellar and ionised-gas kinematics along the optical major and minor axis of the galaxy. The stellar kinematics was determined by fitting Bruzual & Charlot (2003MNRAS.344.1000B) stellar populations synthesis models to the low-S/N 1D bins extracted from the 2D spectrum of IC 4200 (Sec. 3.2.1). The kinematics of the ionised gas was determined by fitting single Gaussians to the Halpha emission line; for this purpose we used IRAF.NOAO.ONEDSPEC.SPLOT. tablec2.dat contains the values of the Lick/IDS indices measured along the optical major and minor axis of IC 4200. The values given are corrected for the effect of velocity dispersion and shifted to the Lick/IDS system.
