We report results of a search for optical emission line gas in the Hickson compact group 62. From narrow band (Hα ) imaging observations we estimate 104 M⊙ of ionized hydrogen gas within the central regions of three of the galaxies in the group. There has been considerable interest in this group since ROSAT detected an extended halo of diffuse X-ra...

Context 1
... V is the volume of the emitting region, e is the filling factor and a^ a is the effective recombination coefficient for Ha emissivity (Osterbrock 1989), is the electron density, and rc H is the hydrogen density. Assuming that the gas is fully ionized and n p = n H =n e we estimate the mass of ion- ized hydrogen in each of the three galaxies (Table 3) . The estimated mass depends on an accurate esti- mate of the electron density in the nebula. ...
Context 2
... 0.1 (typical x-ray estimated density for the hot gas in the central region), r H = 10 4 K we estimate an electron density of n e =l00 cm -3 for T X =10 7 K, the estimated-temperature for the gas in the central region (PB). In Table 3 we list the estimated masses of ionized hydrogen for three possible values of n e using Ha fluxes in the equation above. ...

We report the first results of a survey on 74 narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) carried out in 2015 with the Karl J. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) at 5 GHz in A-configuration. So far, this is the largest survey aimed to image the radio continuum of NLS1s. We produced radio maps in order to compare the general properties of three different sam...

We use the measured B-band axial ratios of galaxies from an updated catalogue of Local Volume galaxies to determine the intrinsic shape of dwarf irregular galaxies (de Vaucouleurs’ morphological types 8–10). We find that the shapes change systematically with luminosity, with fainter galaxies being thicker. In particular, we divide our sample into s...

We study the structural properties of the low surface brightness stellar hosts in blue compact galaxies by fitting a two-dimensional Sérsic law to their optical images. The accurate isolation of the starburst emission is an important strength of the method. It allows us to obtain more reliable structural parameters, especially when a Sérsic law is...

We present the results of BVRI imaging and optical spectroscopy of the dwarf galaxy A 0951 + 68. The images reveal that, although this galaxy is classified as a dwarf elliptical, it has some properties that are similar to dwarf irregular galaxies. It contains two bright knots of emission, one of which is red and unresolved, and the other blue and r...
