    The unusual morphology of molecular hydrogen emission in the planetary nebula J900 (1995)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We report new high-resolution near-infrared imaging observations of the planetary nebula J900, in broadband J, H, and K, and narrowband 2.122 micrometers (for H2 1-0 S(1)), Brackett-gamma, and continuum filters. The H2 images reveal a remarkable set of outward-extending features not detected in any previous observations of theis object. In the northwest lobe of the inner bipolar region, the H2 emission, Brackett-gamma emission, and underlying continuum are spatially resolved. The relative positions of the peaks of the line emission suggest an ionization front seen edge-on. The continuum emission, apparently located nearer to the central star, is likely due to transiently heated small dust grains. The extended H2 emission features are probably excited either by oblique shocks caused by material ejected from the nebula, or by radiation leaking from holes in the opacity surrounding the ionized shell.

    Near-infrared images of MG 1131+0456 with the W. M. Keck telescope: Another dusty gravitational lens? (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Images of the gravitational lens system MG 1131+0456 taken with the near-infrared camera on the W. M. Keck telescope in the J and K(sub s) bands show that the infrared counterparts of the compact radio structure are exceedingly red, with J - K greater than 4.2 mag. The J image reveals only the lensing galaxy, while the K(sub s) image shows both the lens and the infrared counterparts of the compact radio components. After subtracting the lensing galaxy from the K(sub s) image, the position and orientation of the compact components agree with their radio counterparts. The broad-band spectrum and observed brightness of the lens suggest a giant galaxy at a redshift of approximately 0.75, while the color of the quasar images suggests significant extinction by dust in the lens. There is a significant excess of faint objects within 20 sec of MG 1131+0456. Depending on their mass and redshifts, these objects could complicate the lensing potential considerably.

    Infrared, optical, and ultraviolet observations of hydrogen line emission from Seyfert galaxies (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Nearly simultaneous observations are reported of P-alpha, H-alpha, and H-beta emission from 18 Seyfert galaxies and of Ly-alpha from eight of these galaxies. In many cases, P-alpha is stronger relative to the Balmer lines than is predicted by recombination calculations; reddening appears to be required. Dispersion in the P-alpha/H-alpha/H-beta ratios orthogonal to the reddening track indicates that high densities or optical depths also affect the line flux ratios. Several galaxies, notably NGC 1275, have very low P-alpha/H-alpha ratios. High densities, large optical depths, and reddening probably all contribute to the low observed Ly-alpha/H-beta ratios.

    The double structure of W3-IRS 5 as determined from high-resolution spatial scans (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Slit scans over the infrared source W3-IRS 5, from 4.8 to 12.7 microns are interpreted in terms of two sources of luminosity separated by 0.9 arcsec in declination. The data, as a function of wavelength, show that the two sources must have remarkably similar properties.

    Spectroscopy of the B-gamma line in the Galactic center (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Spectra of the B-gamma recombination line of hydrogen in the Galactic center show that the line has central velocities and shapes similar to those reported previously for the Ne II line. Observations are made at 10 positions within the infrared cluster of the Galactic center with a circular diaphragm of diameter 5 arcsec and with a spectral resolution of approximately 85 km/sec. The spectra confirm that the ionized gas in the Galactic center is distributed in discrete clouds.

    Radial widths, optical depths, and eccentricities of the Uranian rings (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Observations of the stellar occultation by the Uranian rings of 15/16 August 1980 are used to estimate radial widths and normal optical depths for segments of rings 6, 5, 4, alpha, beta, eta, gamma, and delta. Synthetic occultation profiles are generated to match the observed light curves. A review of published data confirms the existence of width-radius relations for rings alpha and beta, and indicates that the optical depths of these two rings vary inversely with their radial widths. Masses are obtained for rings alpha and beta, on the assumption that differential precession is prevented by their self-gravity. A quantitative comparison of seven epsilon-ring occultation profiles obtained over a period of 3.4 yr reveals a consistent structure, which may reflect the presence of unresolved gaps and subrings.

    Ultraluminous infrared galaxies (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: The IRAS survey of the local universe has revealed the existence of a class of ultraluminous infrared galaxies with L(8 to 1000 micrometer) greater than 10 to the 12th L sub 0 that are slightly more numerous, and as luminous as optically selected quasars at similar redshift. Optical CCD images of these infrared galaxies show that nearly all are advanced mergers. Millimeter wave CO observations indicate that these interacting systems are extremely rich in molecular gas with total H2 masses 1 to 3 x 10 to the 10th power M sub 0. Nearly all of the ultraluminous infrared galaxies show some evidence in their optical spectra for nonthermal nuclear activity. It is proposed that their infrared luminosity is powered by an embedded active nucleus and a nuclear starburst both of which are fueled by the tremendous reservoir of molecular gas. Once these merger nuclei shed their obscuring dust, allowing the AGN to visually dominate the decaying starburst, they become the optically selected quasars.

    Extremely red compact radio sources - The empty field objects (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Radiation of 10 microns has been detected from 1413+135, one of the very red objects discovered by Rieke, Lebofsky, and Kinman (1979) at near-infrared wavelengths. The spectrum of this object flattens at wavelengths longer than 2.2 microns. Upper limits are also given for the 10-micron emission from 2255+14, 0026+34, and 0406+121. Photometry between 1.25 and 2.2 microns confirms the variability of 1413+135, 2255+41, and 0406+121. Five percent resolution spectra of 1413+135 and 0406+121 between 1.5 and 2.4 microns show no emission or absorption lines. The spectral data rule out the possibility that 1413+135 is a quasar with normal line strengths and a redshift less than 1.3 and greater than 4. The lack of features of the 1.5-2.4-micron spectra, the rapid variability, and the overall shape of the radio, infrared, and X-ray energy distributions are consistent with a BL Lac nature for these objects.
