چکیده
We report observations of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5929 with the integral field spectrograph Tiger. These 2D spectrographic data, with sub-arcsecond spatial resolution, consist of 394 flux-calibrated spectra, covering the [N ii], Hα and [S ii] emission associated with the two radio-lobes. The two optical line emission components have been kinematically separated using Gaussian fitting of the spectra. From this decomposition , we have derived line intensities, ratios and velocities for each component. Although the line-of-sight velocities of the clouds are consistent with normal rotational motions, their high internal velocity dispersions and spatial association with the radio components clearly indicate an interaction between the radio ejecta and the ambient medium. We discuss four specific models describing this interaction but conclude that none of them is completely satisfactory.

-λ coloring of graphs and Conjecture Δ ^ 2
For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...

We present ISO-SWS and ISOPHOT-S spectroscopy 4 of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. We detect a total of 17 fine-structure emission lines emitted by a wide range of low-and high-excitation ions, two rotational lines of molecular hydrogen, and the Brβ HI line. We find that the mid-IR fine-structure line profiles display blue asymmetries which are very similar to those observed in the optical lines p...

TIGER integral-field spectrography and Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 imaging of the E3 galaxy NGC 2974 are used to derive the kinematics of the stellar and ionized gas components in its central 500 pc. We derive a numerical two-integral distribution function from a Multi-Gaussian Expansion (MGE) mass model using the Hunter & Qian formalism. The TIGER as well as published long-slit stellar kinema...
متن کاملEvidence of a pure starburst nature of the nuclear region of NGC 253
We present high-resolution spectral line and continuum VLBI and VLA observations of the nuclear region of NGC 253 at 22 GHz. While the water vapor masers in this region were detected on arcsecond and milliarcsecond scales, we could not detect any compact continuum emission with a 5σ upper limit of ∼ 1 mJy. The observations reveal that the water maser emission is not related to a possible low-lu...
متن کاملProbing the Active Massive Black Hole Candidate in the Center of Ngc 404 with Vlbi
Recently Nyland et al. (2012) argued that the radio emission observed in the center of the dwarf galaxy NGC 404 originates in a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (LLAGN) powered by a massive black hole (MBH, M . 10 M⊙). High-resolution radio detections of MBHs are rare. Here we present sensitive, contemporaneous Chandra X-ray, and very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) radio observations...
