- Description:
- Using Halpha spectra of 114 rest-frame UV-selected galaxies at z~2, we compare inferred star formation rates (SFRs) with those determined from the UV continuum luminosity. After correcting for extinction using standard techniques based on the UV continuum slope, we find excellent agreement between the indicators, with <SFR_Ha_>=31M_{sun}_/yr and <SFR_UV_>=29M_{sun}_/yr. The agreement between the indicators suggests that the UV luminosity is attenuated by a typical factor of ~4.5 (ranging from no attenuation to a factor of 100 for the most obscured object in the sample), in good agreement with estimates of obscuration from X-ray, radio, and mid-IR data.

- Description:
- We present a survey of the photometric and kinematic properties of 39 nearby, nearly face-on disk galaxies. Our approach exploits echelle-resolution integral-field spectroscopy of the H{alpha} regions, obtained with DensePak on the WIYN 3.5m telescope Bench Spectrograph. These data are complemented by HI line profiles observed with the Nancay radio telescope for 25 of these sample galaxies. Twelve additional line widths are available for sample galaxies from the literature. In this paper, we introduce the goals of this survey, define the sample selection algorithm, and amass the integral field spectroscopic data and HI line widths. We establish spatially integrated H{alpha} line widths for the sample. We test the veracity of these spatially integrated line profiles by convolving narrowband imaging data with velocity field information for one of the sample galaxies, PGC 38268, and also by comparing to HI line profiles.

- H{alpha} profiles of Be stars

- Description:
- We present a set of theoretical H{alpha} emission-line profiles of Be stars, created by systematically varying model input parameters over a wide range of accepted values. Models were generated with a non-LTE radiative transfer code that incorporates a non-isothermal disk structure and a solar-type chemical composition. The theoretical H{alpha} emission-line profiles were compared to a large set of Be star spectra with the aim of reproducing their global characteristics. We find that the observed profile shapes cannot be used to uniquely determine the inclination angle of Be star+disk systems. Drastically different profile shapes arise at a given inclination angle as a direct result of the state of the gas, and self-consistent disk physical conditions are therefore crucial for interpreting the observations.

- H{alpha} spectra of MWC 342 spectra, 2004-2010
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/554/A143
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The catalogue presents spectra of MWC 342 (V1972 Cyg) obtained during the period 2004 to 2010 with the Coude spectrograph at the 2m telescope in Ondrejov observatory, Czech Republic, using the SITe CCD (2030x800 pixels, 15um pixel size) in a camera with 700mm focus. The spectral interval along the H{alpha} line covers 6265 to 6765{AA}. The resolving power is this range is R~13000. The data reduction was performed using IRAF. After the bias subtraction, flat-field and overscan correction, the dcr program written by Pych (2004PASP..116..148P) was used for the cosmic ray removal. The spectra subtraction was done by IRAF apall task without using the optimal extraction . The background, together with the night sky lines, is eliminated during spectra subtraction by individual pixel columns. The remaining wavelength calibration, heliocentric correction, and the continuum fitting are also performed using IRAF. The heliocentric correction was applied on the data. Chebyshev polynomial of the third order is used for the spectra normalisation to fit the intervals, which apparently contain no spectral lines. Each continuum interval is split into sub-intervals of five pixels, where the median value is taken for the continuum evaluation. Possible remaining cosmic ray hits thus do not affect continuum normalisation.

- H{alpha} spectra of {pi} Aqr
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/560/A30
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The work is aimed at studying the circumstellar disk of the bright classical binary Be star pi Aqr. We analysed variations of a double-peaked profile of the Halpha emission line in the spectrum of pi Aqr that was observed in many phases during ~40 orbital cycles in 2004-2013. We applied the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) method to search for periodicity in the peak intensity ratio (V/R). Doppler tomography was used to study the structure of the disk around the primary. The dominant frequency in the power spectrum of the Halpha V/R ratio is 0.011873d^-1^, which corresponds to a period of 84.2(2) days and agrees with the earlier determined orbital period of the system P_orb_=84.1d. The V/R shows a sinusoidal variation that is phase-locked with the orbital period. Doppler maps of all our spectra show a non-uniform structure of the disk around the primary: a ring with the inner and outer radii at V_in_~450km/s and V_out_~200km/s, respectively, along with an extended stable region (spot) at V_x_~225km/s and Vy~100km/s. The disk radius of ~65R_{sun}_=0.33AU was estimated by assuming Keplerian motion of a particle on a circular orbit at the disk's outer edge.

- H{alpha} spectra & V-band photometry of {delta} Sco
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/890/86
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We model the circumstellar disk of {delta} Sco using the three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer code HDUST in order to quantify the large-scale changes in the disk through the years 2000-2018, and to see if these changes can be attributed to the secondary star affecting the disk throughout its orbit. We determine our best-fitting models through matching simulated observations to actual H{alpha} spectroscopy and V-band photometric observations. Our modeling results confirm previous findings that the disk of {delta}Sco was forming early in the century. We also find a period of disk dissipation when the companion is at apastron, as well as a significant growth of the disk between 2009 and 2011, prior to the periastron of 2011. Due to the steady-state nature of the disk after 2011, it is difficult to say whether the variations seen are due to the effect of the close passage of the binary companion.

- H{alpha} spectroscopy in IC 1396 HII region
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/143/61
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have made an extensive survey of emission-line stars in the IC 1396 H II region to investigate the low-mass population of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars. A total of 639 H{alpha} emission-line stars were detected in an area of 4.2deg^2^ and their i' photometry was measured. Their spatial distribution exhibits several aggregates near the elephant trunk globule (Rim A) and bright-rimmed clouds at the edge of the H II region (Rim B and SFO 37, 38, 39, 41), and near HD206267, which is the main exciting star of the HII region. Based on the extinction estimated from the near-infrared color-color diagram, we have selected PMS star candidates associated with IC1396. The age and mass were derived from the extinction-corrected color-magnitude diagram and theoretical PMS tracks. Most of our PMS candidates have ages of <3Myr and masses of 0.2-0.6M_{sun}_. Although it appears that only a few stars were formed in the last 1Myr in the east region of the exciting star, the age difference among subregions in our surveyed area is not clear from the statistical test. Our results may suggest that massive stars were born after the continuous formation of low-mass stars for 10Myr. The birth of the exciting star could be the late stage of slow but contiguous star formation in the natal molecular cloud. It may have triggered the formation of many low-mass stars at the dense inhomogeneity in and around the HII region by a radiation-driven implosion.

- CDS
- Description:
- We present results from an H{alpha} emission line survey in a 1 deg^2^ area centered on the Orion Nebula Cluster, obtained with the Wide Field Grism Spectrograph 2 on the 2.2 m telescope of the University of Hawaii. We identified 587 stars with H{alpha} emission, 99 of which, located mainly in the outer regions of the observed area, have not appeared in previous H{alpha} surveys. We determined the equivalent width (EW) of the line and, based on this, classified 372 stars as classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) and 187 as weak-line T Tauri stars (WTTSs). Simultaneous r', i' photometry indicates a limiting magnitude of r' ~ 20 mag, but the sample is incomplete at r' > 17 mag. The surface distribution of the H{alpha} emission stars reveals a clustered population and a dispersed population, the former consisting of younger and more massive young stars than the latter. Comparison of the derived EWs with those found in the literature indicates variability of the H{alpha} line. We found that the typical amplitudes of the variability are not greater than a factor of two to three in most cases. We identified a subgroup of low-EW stars with infrared signatures indicative of optically thick accretion disks. We studied the correlations between the EW and other properties of the stars. Based on literature data, we examined several properties of our CTTS and WTTS subsamples and found significant differences in mid-infrared color indices, average rotational periods, and spectral energy distribution characteristics of the subsamples.

- Description:
- We present results of an H{alpha} survey in the rich cluster A 1689 at z=0.18, using the LDSS++ spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). We obtained spectra covering redshifted H{alpha} at z=0.16-0.22, for 522 galaxies brighter than I=22.5, covering a field of 8.7x8.7arcmin^2^ (~1.1x1.1h^-1^Mpc at z=0.18). We securely detect H{alpha} emission in 46 of these galaxies; accounting for selection effects arising from sampling and cluster membership, we determine that 24+/-4 per cent of cluster members brighter than M_R_=-16.5+5logh are detected with H{alpha} flux greater than 4h^-2^x10^38^erg/s. From a Hubble Space Telescope mosaic covering 7.5x10.0arcmin, we determine morphologies for 199 galaxies brighter than I=21, and find that ~20 per cent of the cluster members are of type Sa or later. More than 90 per cent of cluster spirals show H{alpha} emission, compared with less than 10 per cent of E and S0 galaxies.

- Description:
- We present the second part of the Hamburg/SAO Survey for Emission-Line Galaxies (HSS therein, SAO - Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia) which is based on the digitized objective-prism photoplates database of the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS). The main goal of the project is the search for emission-line galaxies (ELG) in order to create a new deep sample of blue compact/HII galaxies (BCG) in a large sky area. Another important goal of this work is to search for new extremely low-metallicity galaxies. In this paper we present new results of spectroscopy obtained with the 6m Russian telescope. The main ELG candidate selection criteria applied are blue or flat enough continuum (near 4000A) and the presence of strong or moderate emission lines close to 5000A recognized on digitized prism spectra of galaxies with the survey estimated B-magnitudes in the range 16 - 19.5. No other criteria were applied. The spectroscopy resulted in detection and quantitative spectral classification of 134 emission-line objects. For 121 of them the redshifts are determined for the first time. For 13 ELGs known before emission line ratios are presented at first time. 108 of 134 emission-line objects are classified as BCG/HII galaxies and 6 probable BCGs, 6 as QSOs, 1 as Seyfert galaxy, 1 as super-association in a dwarf spiral galaxy, 2 as probable LINERs, 14 are low excitation objects - either of starburst nuclei (SBN), or dwarf amorphous nuclei starburst galaxy (DANS) type -, and 1 nonclassified. 23 galaxies did not show significant emission lines. The five most metal-deficient BCGs discovered have oxygen abundances log(O/H)+12 in the range 7.4 to 7.7, similar to the most metal-deficient BCGs known before.
