Constraints on Hot Metals in the Vicinity of the Galaxy
We have searched for evidence of soft X-ray absorption by hot metals in the vicinity of the Galaxy in the spectra of a small sample of fifteen type I AGN observed with the high resolution X-ray gratings on board Chandra. This is an extension of our previous survey of hot O vii and O viii absorbing gas in the vicinity of the Galaxy. The strongest absorption signatures within a few hundred km s o...
متن کاملImplications of the Lyα Emission Line from a Candidate Z=10 Galaxy
The recently discovered z = 10 galaxy (Pello et al. 2004) has a strong Lyα emission line that appears surprisingly symmetric, even given the relatively poor quality of its spectrum. The blue wing of a Lyα line originating at high redshift should be strongly suppressed by resonant hydrogen absorption along the line of sight, an expectation borne out by the observed asymmetric shapes of the exist...
متن کاملIs a minor - merger driving the nuclear activity in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 ?
We report on a detailed morphological and kinematic study of the isolated non-barred nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110. We combine Integral Field optical spectroscopy, with long-slit and WFPC2 imaging available in the HST archive to investigate the fueling mechanism in this galaxy. Previous work (Wilson & Baldwin 1985) concluded that the kinematic center of the galaxy is displaced ∼ 220 pc from ...
متن کاملVERTICAL VELOCITY DISPERSION OF THE IONIZED GAS IN NGC 3938 J. JIMENEZ-VICENTE, E. BATTANER and C. PORCEL
We have studied the kinematics of the ionized gas in the nearly face-on galaxy NGC 3938 by means of observations made with the Fabry–Perot interferometer TAURUS II at the William Herschel Telescope, using the Hα line. We have been able to produce high-resolution velocity and velocity-dispersion maps which allow us to make a detailed study of the kinematics of the ionized gas. In particular we h...
متن کاملGHRS and ORFEUS-II Observations of the Highly Ionized Interstellar Medium Toward ESO141-055
We present Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph and ORFEUS-II measurements of Si IV, C IV, N V, and O VI absorption in the interstellar medium of the Galactic disk and halo toward the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy ESO141-055. The high ionization absorption is strong, with line strengths consistent with the spectral signature expected for hot (T ∼> 10 5 K) collisionally ionized gas in either a “...
