On the Ongoing Multiple Blowout in Ngc 604
نویسنده
چکیده
Several facts regarding the structure of NGC 604 are examined here. The three main cavities, produced by the mechanical energy from massive stars which in NGC 604 are spread over a volume of 10 pc, are shown here to be undergoing blowout into the halo of M33. High resolution long slit spectroscopy is used to track the impact from massive stars while HST archive data is used to display the asymmetry of the nebula. NGC 604 is found to be a collection of photoionized filaments and sections of shells in direct contact with the thermalized matter ejected by massive stars. The multiple blowout events presently drain the energy injected by massive stars and thus the densest photoionized gas is found almost at rest and is expected to suffer a slow evolution.

Arc-like Distribution of High Co(j=3–2)/co(j=1–0) Ratio Gas Surrounding the Central Star Cluster of the Supergiant Hii Region Ngc
We report the discovery of a high CO(J=3–2)/CO(J=1–0) ratio gas with an arc-like distribution (“high-ratio gas arc”) surrounding the central star cluster of the supergiant Hii region NGC 604 in the nearby spiral galaxy M 33, based on multi-J CO observations of a 5 × 5 region of NGC 604 conducted using the ASTE 10-m and NRO 45-m telescopes. The discovered “high-ratio gas arc” extends to the sout...
متن کاملSTIS Spectral Imagery of the OB Stars in NGC 604: Describing the Extraction Technique for a Crowded Stellar Field
We have developed a data reduction procedure to extract multiple spectra from a single twodimensional Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) image of a crowded stellar field. This paper provides a description of our new technique, utilizing a STIS ultraviolet spectral image, acquired with the G140L grating and the 52 × 2 aperture, sampling a concentration of O and B stars in the central re...

A scenario-specific modeling of oil blowout from the Khark island pipelines in the Persian Gulf has been carried out to evaluate the environmental impact of oil spill on the local coast, seabed and prawns. Also, various scenarios for response actions have been considered. The analyses have been performed by SINTEF Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR), a 3-dimensional model system. At the ...
متن کاملA New Geometric-Distortion Solution for the STIS NUV- MAMA
We have obtained a new geometric-distortion solution for the STIS NUV-MAMA using two fields in NGC 4214 and NGC 604 which were imaged using three filters (CN182, CN270, SrF2) for GO program 9096. (WF)PC2 images of the same objects in F170W and F336W were used as an astrometric reference. Different polynomial degrees and weighting mechanisms for the geometric distortion were tested until an adeq...
متن کاملInterstellar H 2 in M 33 detected with Fuse ⋆
Fuse spectra of the four brightest H ii regions in M 33 show absorption by interstellar gas in the Galaxy and in M 33. On three lines of sight molecular hydrogen in M 33 is detected. This is the first measurement of diffuse H2 in absorption in a Local Group galaxy other than the Magellanic Clouds. A quantitative analysis is difficult because of the low signal to noise ratio and the systematic e...
