AbstractResults of 3D-spectroscopy for the nearby Seyfert galaxy Mrk 573 obtained at the 6-m telescope with the scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer and the Multi-Pupil Field Spectrograph (MPFS) are presented. Emission lines images of the galaxy center demonstrate a complex structure of ENLR, coinciding with the radio data. An analysis of the velocity field shows that some gas structures do not lie in the plane of the galaxy. An explanation of the observed velocity field and gas distribution by radiation of a helical structure located inside an ionization cone is proposed.

An investigation of the central regions of the Galaxy has been made with an angular resolution of ~10 arcmin with the radio telescopes at Jodrell Bank using the spectral lines of HI (λ21 cm), OH (λ18 cm) and H2CO (λ6 cm). Observations of radio recombination lines in the range (λ21 to 125 cm) have also been taken. These data taken together provide information on the velocity field and gas distribution in the galactic centre region. A continuing programme of spectral line observations of the galactic centre is being pursued at Jodrell Bank.

Scientific Results

Abstract. The Wisconsin Hα Mapper (WHAM) is a recently completed facility for the detection and study of faint optical emission lines from diffuse ionised gas in the disk and halo of the Galaxy. WHAM consists of a 15 cm diameter Fabry–Perot spectrometer coupled to a 0·6 m ‘telescope’, which provide a 1° diameter beam on the sky and produce a 12 km s−1 resolution spectrum within a 200 km s−1 spectral window. This facility is now located at Kitt Peak in Arizona and operated remotely from Madison, Wisconsin, 2400 km distant. Early results include a velocity-resolved Hα map of a 70° × 100° region of the sky near the Galactic anticentre, the first detections of Hα emission from the M I and A high velocity clouds, and the first detections of [O I] λ6300 and other faint ‘diagnostic’ lines from the warm ionised medium. Through the summer of 1998, WHAM will be devoted almost exclusively to a survey of the northern sky, which will provide maps of the distribution and kinematics of the diffuse HII through the optical Hα line in a manner that is analogous to earlier sky surveys of the HI made through the 21 cm line.

AbstractWe present observations on optical emission lines acquired with the scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer of the observatoire du Mont Mégantic, of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). A 765 order Fabry-Perot were used with a fast readout EM-CCD. From data obtained, kinematic maps and data points for the rotation curve of the innermost part of the galaxy are derived. Several dozen of regions have been scanned with the Fabry-Perot interferometer and narrow band interference filters. The central 10’x10’ were scanned with five different filters. Observations have been made in order to get better Hα data for kinematics purposes.

AbstractWe have studied the ionized gas and stellar kinematics in several galaxies with active nuclei and elongated radio structures using 3D spectroscopy. The observations were performed at the SAO RAS 6-m telescope with the integral-field spectrograph MPFS (Afanasiev et al. 2001) and with a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) in the multimode device SCORPIO (Afanasiev & Moiseev 2005). Based on these data the intensity maps and velocity fields in the different emission lines of the ionizing gas were constructed. Using the lines-ratio diagrams we tried to search a source of the gas ionization: an active nucleus, hot young stars or shock waves.

The spectral observations of NGC 1275 nucleus in the range of 3700-7000 AA being carried out since 1971 to 1978 showed the existance of hydrogen and forbidden emission lines variability with the time scale of 5–6 and 1–2 years (Pronik, 1980). Observations on 6-m telescope during 4 nights in January, 1977 permit to reveal the scale variability of these lines 2–3 days, too (Merkulova, Pronik, 1985). These results evidenced the necessary of close photoelectric series of spectral observations of the galaxy nucleus with the filling factor of several days and hours.

Akn 564 (α1950 = 22h40m18.3s, δ1950 = 29°27′47″) is a Sy1.5G SBb type galaxy. According to Zwicky (1966) it has a photographic magnitude mp = 14.4 and a redshift of 0.025. The spectra of the galaxy were obtained at the 2.6-m telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory with a spectrograph having a dispersion of 100 A mm−1. They were processed with the help of SPEC and LONG packages integrated in MIDAS. As a result of the spectrophotometry we obtain the fluxes at λλ 4363, 4959, 5007 A: I(4363), I(4959), I(5007). The spectrum of the galaxy in λλ 4000–7000 is shown in Figure 1. We use the relation of the fluxes of those narrow forbidden emission lines: sensitive at a greater extent to the electron temperature Te than to the electron density ne. The value of R = 74.3 we got, having a typical value of ne = 5×105 cm−3 for the NLR (Narrow Line Region), leads to the estimation of a typical temperature of Te = 104 K.

AbstractWe present new observations of Hα emission of the Hickson Compact Group 18 (HCG 18) obtained with a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. The velocity field does not show motions of individual group members but instead a complex common velocity field of H18b, c and d. The gas distribution is very clumpy with blobs coinciding with group members but located also elsewhere. Comparing Hα with H ɪ data we reached the conclusion that HCG 18 seems to be an irregular galaxy containing several clumps of star formation sites.

Ngc 1365

NGC 1365 is a galaxy which has lately received a lot of attention from people studying the structure and dynamics of barred galaxies. This is not surprising since it is one of the best suited objects in the sky. We have obtained a number of long-slit spectra in the red region (Hα, [NII], [SII]) with the ESO 3.6 m (Lindblad and Jörsäter) and with the CTIO 4 m (Peterson) telescopes. In addition, a couple of Fabry-Perot Hα interferograms have kindly been given to us by G. Comte and Y. Georgelin. Some preliminary results are presented here. Fig. 1 shows the positions of measured velocity points. The digits along the vertical axis indicate distance from the nucleus in seconds of arc. The dashed line at P.A. 48 deg indicates the line of nodes as determined from photometry of the outer features of the galaxy (Lindblad 1978). An arbitrary isophote has been sketched to aid the orientation. The emission lines in the bar are surprisingly weak which is the reason for the scarcity of velocity points there. Fig. 2 shows a rotation curve based on the P.A. of the line of nodes of 48 deg and an inclination of 55 deg (Lindblad 1978). Only velocity measurements within 50 deg of the line of nodes have been used in this diagram in order to avoid large projection errors. The distance used is 20 Mpc. The spread is quite large indicating a significant amount of non-circular motion.

AbstractWe present a kinematical study of the marginally edge-on galaxy ESO 379-006. With Fabry-Perot spectroscopy at Hα we obtain velocity maps, the radial velocity field, and position-velocity diagrams parallel to the major and to the minor axis of the galaxy. We build the rotation curve of the galaxy and discuss the role of projection effects. The twisting of isovelocities in the radial velocity field of the disk of ESO 379-006 as well as a kinematical asymmetry found in the position-velocity diagrams parallel to the minor axis suggest the existence of non-circular motions that can be modeled by including a radial inflow besides the rotation motion. Extraplanar Diffuse Ionized gas was detected in this galaxy both from the images and from its kinematics. It is possible that the diffuse gas is lagging in rotation.
