Minimizing Strong Telluric Absorption in Near Infra-red Stellar Spectra
We have obtained high resolution spectra (R ∼ 25000) of an A star over varying airmass to determine the effectiveness of telluric removal in the limit of high signal to noise. The near infra-red line He I at 2.058μm, which is a sensitive indicator of physical conditions in massive stars, supergiants, H II regions and YSOs, resides among pressure broadened telluric absorption from CO2 and water ...
متن کاملThe importance of collision broadening of weak lines in stellar spectra
Several formalisms for computing the collision broadening of weak iron lines are compared. These include approximations to Van der Waals broadening, empirical enhancement factors, the WIDTH6 approximation, and the Anstee & O’Mara calculations. Abundances are computed for a set of red Fe I lines using solar data, to illustrate the effects of selecting one or other damping formalism. The main poi...
متن کاملUV and soft X-ray lines from Fe XVI observed in solar and stellar spectra
The ion Fe XVI is abundant in solar active regions and flares. Strong spectral lines from this ion have been observed over a wide wavelength range. The transitions 3s 3p and 3p 3d fall between 250 and 365Å and lines from transitions between n=3 to n=4, n=3 to n=5 fall between 30 and 80 Å. In this paper, we present distorted wave results for the electron scattering collision strengths from the g...
متن کاملIron abundances from optical Fe iii absorption lines in B-type stellar spectra
The role of optical Fe iii absorption lines in B-type stars as iron abundance diagnostics is considered. To date, ultraviolet Fe lines have been widely used in B-type stars, although line blending can severely hinder their diagnostic power. Using optical spectra, covering a wavelength range ∼ 3560 – 9200 Å, a sample of Galactic B-type main-sequence and supergiant stars of spectral types B0.5 to...
متن کاملDisentangling age and metallicity in distant unresolved stellar systems
We present some results of an observational and theoretical study on unresolved stellar systems based on the Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) technique. It is shown that SBF magnitudes are a valuable tracer of stellar population properties, and a reliable distance indicator. SBF magnitudes, SBF-colors, and SBF-gradients can help to constrain within relatively narrow limits the metallicity ...
