Letter to the Editor: The collisional broadening of carbon radio recombination lines

The density matrix equations of highly excited carbon are analytically solved as functions of line number and temperature. Allowing for the series of the impact approximation theory and quadrupole interaction potential, the line widths are found with the theoretical error less than 0.06 in the range of temperatures T _e = 25 − 100 K. To determine the medium temperature and density by using the experimental values of line widths, the Doppler, radiational and impact broadening are calculated for the lines with the principal quantum numbers n > 300. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Extreme vacuum ultraviolet solar spectra obtained during the SPIRIT experiment aboard CORONAS-F: A catalog of lines in the range 280–330 Å

We present a catalog of 100 lines in the wavelength range 280–330 Å detected by the RES-C spectroheliograph in solar active regions and flares during the SPIRIT experiment aboard the CORONAS-F orbital station. We identified 54 lines. The line intensities recorded during the X3.4 (GOES) solar flare of December 28, 2001, are given. The data reduction procedure is discussed.     

The electron temperature and density in interstellar medium by using carbon radio recombination line observations

The intensities of carbon radio recombination lines (RRL’s) are definedallowing for the effect of dielectronic-like recombination. The rate ofdielectronic-like recombination is calculated as functions of line number,electron density and temperature accurate to 0.05. Following from the balanceequation solutions for populations, the RRL intensities are analytically foundby the method of successive approximations to an accuracy of 0.15. Theobservations of carbon RRL’s are analyzed toward Cassiopeia A. The averageelectron temperature, density, expanded CII region lengths and inaccuraciesare found with the experimental values of RRL widths and intensities.

Space–VLBI observations of the OH maser OH 34.26+0.15: low interstellar scattering

We report on the first space–VLBI observations of the OH 34.26+0.15 maser in two main-line OH transitions at 1665 and 1667 MHz. The observations involved the space radio telescope on board the Japanese satellite HALCA and an array of ground radio telescopes. The map of the maser region and images of individual maser spots were produced with an angular resolution of 1 mas, which is several times higher than the angular resolution available on the ground. The maser spots were only partly resolved and a lower limit to the brightness temperature     was obtained. The maser seems to be located in the direction of low interstellar scattering, an order of magnitude lower than the scattering of a nearby extragalactic source and pulsar.

Hydrodynamics of photoionized columns in the Eagle Nebula, M 16

We present hydrodynamical simulations of the formation, structure and evolution of photoionized columns, with parameters based on those observed in the Eagle Nebula. On the basis of these simulations we argue that there is no unequivocal evidence that the dense neutral clumps at heads of the columns were cores in the pre-existing molecular cloud. In our simulations, a variety of initial conditions leads to the formation and maintenance of near-equilibrium columns. Therefore, it is likely that narrow columns will often occur in regions with large-scale inhomogeneities, but that observations of such columns can tell us little about the processes by which they formed. The manner in which the columns in our simulations develop suggests that their evolution may result in extended sequences of radiation-induced star formation.     

Narrow-band CCD photometry of giant H ii regions

We have obtained accurate CCD narrow-band Hβ and Hα photometry of giant H  ii regions (GEHRs) in M33, NGC 6822 and M101. Comparison with previous determinations of emission-line fluxes shows large discrepancies; their probable origins are discussed. Combining our new photometric data with global velocity dispersion ( σ ) derived from emission linewidths, we review the     relation. A re-analysis of the properties of the GEHRs included in our sample shows that age spread and the superposition of components in multiple regions introduce a considerable spread in the regression. Combining the information available in the literature regarding ages of the associated clusters, evolutionary footprints on the interstellar medium, and kinematical properties of the knots that build up the multiple GEHRs, we find that a subsample – which we refer to as young and single GEHRs – do follow a tight relation in the     plane.
