The puzzling correlation between the spin parameter λ of galactic disks and the disk-to-halo mass fraction f
disk is investigated. It is shown that such a correlation arises naturally from large uncertainties in determining the virial
masses of dark matter halos. This result indicates that halo properties derived from fits to observed rotation curves are
still very uncertain. An analysis of λ versus f
disk as function of the adopted halo virial mass shows that for reasonable halo concentrations f
disk ≈ 0.01 - 0.07 which is significantly smaller than the universal baryon fraction. Most of the available gas either never settled
into the galactic disks or was ejected subsequently.

Away from the young disk, several classes of early type stars are found. They include (i) the old, metal-poor blue horizontal branch stars of the halo and the metal-poor tail of the thick disk; (ii) metal-rich young A stars in a rapidly rotating subsystem but with a much higher velocity dispersion than the A stars of the
young disk, and (iii) a newly discovered class of metal-poor young main sequence A stars in a subsystem of intermediate galactic rotation (Vrot ≈ 120 km s−1). The existence and kinematics of these various classes of early type stars provide insight into the formation of the metal-poor
stellar halo of the Galaxy and into the continuing accretion events suffered by our Galaxy.

The distribution of radial (U) and rotational (V) velocities of red clump giants was studied as a function of their heights above the galactic plane. The stars of this type
were selected from the compiled catalogue of stellar proper motions and infrared photometry at the north galactic pole with
the use of the diagram “color-reduced proper motion.” According to the data on 1800 red clump giants located at heights from
1 to 3 kpc (mostly thick disk stars), mean kinematic parameters of the thick disk were determined: U
0 = −18 ± 2 km/s, V
0 = −56 ± 1 km/s, σ
U
= 72 ± 2 km/s, and σ
V

Optical CCD imaging with Hα and [SII] filters and spectroscopic observations of the galactic supernova remnant G85.9-0.6 have been performed for the
first time. The CCD image data are taken with the 1.5 m Russian-Turkish Telescope (RTT150) at TüBİTAK National Observatory
(TUG) and spectral data are taken with the Bok 2.3 m telescope on Kitt Peak, AZ.
The images are taken with narrow-band interference filters Hα, [SII] and their continuum. [SII]/Hα ratio image is performed. The ratio obtained from [SII]/Hα is found to be ∼0.42, indicating that the remnant interacts with HII regions. G85.9-0.6 shows diffuse-shell morphology. [SII]λ
λ6716/6731 average flux ratio is calculated from the spectra, and the electron density N
e
is obtained to be 395 cm−3. From [OIII]/Hβ ratio, shock velocity has been estimated, pre-shock density of n
c
=14 cm−3, explosion energy of E=9.2×1050 ergs, interstellar extinction of E(B−V)=0.28, and neutral hydrogen column density of N(HI)=1.53×1021 cm−2 are reported. 相似文献

Nearby interstellar clouds with high (|ν|≥10km s−1) random velocities although easily detected in NaI and CaII lines have hitherto not been detected (in emission or absorption)
in the HI 21cm line. We describe here deep Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI absorption observations toward radio
sources with small angular separation from bright O and B stars whose spectra reveal the presence of intervening high random
velocity CaII absorbing clouds. In 5 out of the 14 directions searched we detect HI 21cm absorption features from these clouds.
The mean optical depth of these detections is ∼0.09 and FWHM is ∼10km s−1, consistent with absorption arising from CNM clouds. 相似文献

Using the recently completed Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope, we have detected the HI 21 cm-line absorption from the peculiar
galaxy C153 in the galaxy cluster Abell 2125. The HI absorption is at a redshift of 0.2533, with a peak optical depth of 0.36.
The full width at half minimum of the absorption line is 100 km s−1. The estimated column density of atomic Hydrogen is 0.7×1022(T
s
/100) cm−2. The HI absorption is redshifted by ∼400km s−1 compared to the [OIII] emission line from this system. We attribute this to an infalling cold gas or to an out-flowing ionised
gas, or to a combination of both as a consequence of tidal interactions of C153 with either a cluster galaxy or the cluster
potential. 相似文献

Summary In this paper the results of the research of the stars proper motions Trapezium components are reported. They are: the galactic
coordinates of the solar aprx and the Sun velocity (L
⊙=43±18°,B
⊙=+28±13°,V
⊙=13±4 km s−1), the dispersion of peculiar velocities in the direction of the galactic coordinates for the above mentioned stars (σ
l
=±11 km s−1, σ
b
=±7 km s−1).The attained accuracy of the proper motions (±0.005″ yr−1) is shown to be insufficient to the study of internal space motions in these systems. At present the work to increase the
relative proper motions accuracy for multiple system components and to improve reductions from the relative to absolute proper
motions, is being carried out in the Main Astronomical Observatory (Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR). The new catalogue
of the AGK3 stars is composed now in the vicinity of the galactic equator in order to improve reductions from the relative
to absolute proper motions. The r.m.s. errors of the proper motions, obtained in the AGK3 system, are ±0.005″ yr−1. 相似文献

A technique developed for analysing line profiles with both speed and high accuracy was used to study the physical conditions
of a coronal formation near a quiescent prominence. Detailed analyses of five coronal lines (Fe xiv λ 5303, Fe x λ 6374, Ni xv λ 6702, Fe xv λ 7059, and Fe xi λ 7892) provided total intensities, Doppler width temperatures, ionization temperatures, and velocities.
Dissimilar spatial fluctuations in intensity are obvious for ions grouped according to (low vs high) ionization potentials.
The intensity of the green line shows a local minimum around the observed quiescent prominence; a corresponding but much more
diffuse pattern is visible in the red line intensity.
Large differences are observed in temperatures derived by different means. In particular,
, while
, and
. The differences between
and
are taken as direct evidence of temperature inhomogeneity. One can thus put little significance in T
e
(xi/x). T
D(λ5303) and T
e
(xv/xiv) fluctuate nearly in parallel at each slit height, with a weak local minimum evident around the prominence. The discrepancy
between these two can be removed if a non-thermal turbulent motion of 6–16 km s−1 is assumed. Variations with height of both T
D(λ5303) and T
e
(xv/xiv) suggest that the coronal temperature maximum is located no more than 15000 km above the top of spicules. A negative gradient
of about 6 deg km−1 is found in the height variation of T
D(λ5303).
The height variation of the green line wavelength shows that the majority of coronal material in this region is flowing from
west to east on the Sun, with the highest velocity of 12 km s−1 found at the lowest heights. This motion is in the same sense as that of the nearby coronal rain, as determined both from
the spectra and wavelength-shifted Hα filtergrams. Superposed on the above flow is a systematic velocity field of up to ±5
km s−1. This field similarly reaches maximum amplitudes at lowest heights showing a local maximum around the prominence.

The methods of panoramic (3D) spectroscopy are used by us in a detailed study of galaxies with ongoing star formation chosen
from among objects in seven selected fields of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). This article deals with the irregular galaxy
SBS 1202 + 583, which our classification scheme identifies as being in a continuous phase of star formation. Observations
were made with the panoramic spectrographs MPFS at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) of the
Russian Academy of Sciences and VAGR at the 2.6-m telescope of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) in Armenia. The
data are used to construct maps of the radiative fluxes in the continuum and various emission lines. Special attention is
devoted to analyzing the emission in the Hα hydrogen recombination line and in the forbidden low-ionization doublets of nitrogen [NII] λλ6548, 6583 and sulfur [SII] λλ6716, 6731, and the ratios of the intensities of the forbidden lines to Hα. The observable characteristics (size, Hα fluxes, etc.) of nine HII regions are studied. The estimated current rates of star formation in the individual HII regions
based on the Hα fluxes lie within the range of 0.3-1.2⨀ M /year. The dependence of the ratio of the intensities of the emission in these above mentioned forbidden doublets on the
rate of star formation in the HII regions is found. 相似文献

The parameters of the ionized gas in NGC 6946 (in the [NII] λλ6548, 6583, H
α
and [SII] λλ6717, 6731 lines) are investigated with the SAO RAS BTA telescope along three positions of the long slit of the
SCORPIO focal reducer, passing through a number of large and small cavities of the gaseous disc of the galaxy. These cavities
correspond exactly to the cavities in warm dust, visible at 5 − 8μm. We found that everywhere in the direction of NGC 6946
the lines of ionized gas are decomposed into two Gaussians, one of which shows almost constant [SII]/H
α
and [NII]/H
α
ratios, as well as an almost constant radial velocity within the measurement errors (about −35… − 50 km/s). This component
is in fact the foreground radiation from the diffuse ionized gas of our Galaxy, which is not surprising, given the low (12°)
latitude of NGC 6946; a similar component is also present in the emission of neutral hydrogen. The analysis of the component
of ionized gas, occurring inNGC 6946, has revealed that it shows signs of shock excitation in the cavities of the gaseous
disc of the galaxy. This shock excitation is as well typical for the extraplanar diffuse ionized gas (EDIG), observed in a
number of spiral galaxies at their high Z-coordinates. This can most likely be explained by low density of the gas in the
NGC 6946 disc (with the usual photoionization) inside the cavities, due to what we see the spectral features of the EDIG gas
of NGC 6946, projected onto them, and located outside the plane of the galaxy. In the absence of separation of ionized gas
into two components by radial velocities, there is an increasing contribution to the integral line parameters by the EDIG
of our Galaxy when the gas density in NGC 6946 decreases, which explains some strange results, obtained in the previous studies.
Themorphology of warmdust, visible in the infrared range and HI is almost the same (except for the peripheral parts of the
galaxy, where there are no sources of dust heating).Moreover, the shock excitation of the ionized gas is detected in the smallest
holes, distinguishable only in the IR images. 相似文献

We present the results of our stellar photometry and spectroscopy for the new Local Group galaxy VV124 (UGC4879) obtainedwith
the 6-m BTAtelescope. The presence of a fewbright supergiants in the galaxy indicates that the current star formation process
is weak. The apparent distribution of stars with different ages in VV 124 does not differ from the analogous distributions
of stars in irregular galaxies, but the ratio of the numbers of young and old stars indicates that VV 124 belongs to the rare
Irr/Sph type of galaxies. The old stars (red giants) form the most extended structure, a thick disk with an exponential decrease
in the star number density to the edge. Definitely, the young population unresolvable in images makes a great contribution
to the background emission from the central galactic regions. The presence of young stars is also confirmed by the [OIII]
emission line visible in the spectra that belongs to extensive diffuse galactic regions. The mean radial velocity of several
components (two bright supergiants, the unresolvable stellar population, and the diffuse gas) is υ
h = −70 ± 15 km s−1 and the velocity with which VV 124 falls into the Local Group is υ
LG = −12 ± 15 km s−1. We confirm the distance to the galaxy (D = 1.1 ± 0.1 Mpc) and the metallicity of red giants ([Fe/H] = −1.37) found by Kopylov et al. (2008). VV 124 is located on
the periphery of the Local Group approximately at the same distance from M31 and our Galaxy and is isolated from other galaxies.

The Molecular Hydrogen Explorer, H2EX, was proposed in response to the ESA 2015 - 2025 Cosmic Vision Call as a medium class space mission with NASA and CSA participations.
The mission, conceived to understand the formation of galaxies, stars and planets from molecular hydrogen, is designed to
observe the first rotational lines of the H2 molecule (28.2, 17.0, 12.3 and 9.7 μm) over a wide field, and at high spectral resolution. H2EX can provide an inventory of warm (≥ 100 K) molecular gas in a broad variety of objects, including nearby young star clusters,
galactic molecular clouds, active galactic nuclei, local and distant galaxies. The rich array of molecular, atomic and ionic
lines, as well as solid state features available in the 8 to 29 μm spectral range brings additional science dimensions to
H2EX. We present the optical and mechanical design of the H2EX payload based on an innovative Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer fed by a 1.2 m telescope. The 20’×20’ field of view
is imaged on two 1024×1024 Si:As detectors. The maximum resolution of 0.032 cm − 1 (full width at half maximum) means a velocity resolution of 10 km s − 1 for the 0 – 0 S(3) line at 9.7 μm. This instrument offers the large field of view necessary to survey extended emission in
the Galaxy and local Universe galaxies as well as to perform unbiased extragalactic and circumstellar disks surveys. The high
spectral resolution makes H2EX uniquely suited to study the dynamics of H2 in all these environments. The mission plan is made of seven wide-field spectro-imaging legacy programs, from the cosmic
web to galactic young star clusters, within a nominal two years mission. The payload has been designed to re-use the Planck platform and passive cooling design.

Stochastic temperatures and turbulence are characterized by average velocities u

0 and fluctuations u¢th {u'_{th}} and u′ (<u′ > = 0). Thus, the Doppler width of a line also has a fluctuating component Dl¢D \Delta {\lambda '_D} . Observed spectra correspond to the radiative flux averaged over time and over a star’s surface, <Hλ>. Usually, only the average velocities u

The fluctuations Dl¢D \Delta {\lambda '_D} mean that near a line center the average absorption coefficient < αλ > is larger than the usual αλ, which depends only on the average velocities u

effect depends on the wavelength of the line. A comparison of observed lines with model profiles yields an estimate for the
