Infrared spectrophotometry of M 17 with ISOCAM
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report spectrophotometric observations of the H ii region/neutral medium interface in M 17 obtained with the ISOCAM Circular Variable Filter (CVF) in the spectral range 5.15 to 16.5 m. The lines of singly–ionized species come mainly from the clumpy "neutral" interface, while the H ii region dominates the line emission by higher–ionization species. The emission in the Unidentified Infrared Bands (UIBs) comes from the molecular cloud and the interface and extends into the H ii region. In the regions where the radiation field is larger than about 104 times the standard interstellar one, the continuum is dominated by the emission of very small grains which are bigger than those responsible for the UIBs.

Infrared spectrophotometry of NGC 7023 with ISOCAM
We present spectrophotometric observations of the reflection nebula NGC 7023 obtained with the ISOCAM Circular Variable Filter (CVF) in the spectral range 5.15 to 16.5 m. Maps in the 16 m continuum emission and in the Unidentified Infrared Bands (UIBs) have been obtained. The continuum emission peaks at the dense interface between the surrounding molecular cloud and the inner photodissociated r...
متن کاملThe molecular cloud core M 17-North: New ISOCAM observations
We present spectro-imaging data of the molecular cloud core M17-North. The data have been obtained with the ISOCAM camera on board of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) using the circular variable filters (CVF). The spectra have a spectral resolution of about 40. They are dominated by PAH emission bands. A band at 16.6 μm is detected which is ascribed to the family of the PAH bands. Further, ...
متن کاملISOCAM view of the starburst galaxies M 82 , NGC 253 , and NGC 1808 ⋆
We present results of mid-infrared λ = 5.0 − 16.5 µm spectrophotometric imaging of the starburst galaxies M 82, NGC 253, and NGC 1808 from the ISOCAM instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The mid-infrared spectra of the three galaxies are very similar in terms of features present. The λ > ∼ 11 µm continuum attributed to very small dust grains (VSGs) exhibits a large spread in inte...

We present observations with the mid–infrared camera ISOCAM on board the Infrared Space Observatory of the major star–forming region N 66 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and of its surroundings. These observations were performed with broad filters and Circular Variable Filters giving a spectral resolution of about 40. In addition, CO(2–1) data are presented, allowing us to identify and stud...
متن کاملISO continuum observations of quasars at z = 1 - 4 ⋆ I . Spectral energy distributions of quasars from the UV to far - infrared
Eight luminous quasars with −30 < MB < −27 at z = 1.4 3.7 have been observed in the midand far-infrared using ISO. All the quasars have been detected in the mid-infrared bands of ISOCAM, while no far-infrared detections have been made with ISOPHOT. SEDs (Spectral Energy Distributions) from the UV to far-infrared have been obtained while supplementing ISO observations with photometry in the opti...
