Context: HH 223 is a knotty, undulating nebular emission of ˜30 arcsec length found in the L723 star-forming region. It lies projected onto the largest...
The nature of HHL 73 from optical imaging and integral field spectroscopy
We present new results on the nature of the Herbig-Haro-like object 73 (HHL 73, also known as [G84b] 11) based on narrow-band CCD Hα and [SII] images of the HHL...
The nature of late-type spiral galaxies: structural parameters, optical and near-infrared colour profiles and dust extinction
We analyse V- and H-band surface photometry of a sample of 18 Sb-Sd galaxies. Combining high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images with ground-based...
The nature of LINER galaxies:. Ubiquitous hot old stars and rare accreting black holes
Context. Galaxies, which often contain ionised gas, sometimes also exhibit a so-called low-ionisation nuclear emission line region (LINER). For 30 years, this...
The Nature of Luminous X-Ray Sources with Mid-Infrared Counterparts
We investigate the luminous X-ray sources in the Lockman Hole (LH) and the extended Groth strip (EGS) detected at 24 μm using the Multiband Imaging Photometer...
To get insight into the nature of the ionized gas in the nuclear region of LINERs, we performed a study of HST Hα imaging of 32 LINERs. The main conclusion from...
We present high-resolution echelle spectra of seven proximate damped Lyman α (PDLA) systems. The relative velocity separation of each PDLA from the background...
The Nature of Starbursts. I. The Star Formation Histories of Eighteen Nearby Starburst Dwarf Galaxies
We use archival Hubble Space Telescope observations of resolved stellar populations to derive the star formation histories (SFHs) of 18 nearby starburst dwarf...
The Nature of Starbursts. II. The Duration of Starbursts in Dwarf Galaxies
The starburst phenomenon can shape the evolution of the host galaxy and the surrounding intergalactic medium. The extent of the evolutionary impact is partly...
