AbstractThe nebular remnant of RS Ophiuchi was modelled using combined HST/ACS imaging and ground-based spectroscopy on day 155 after outburst as a two component bipolar expansion with a low velocity innermost hour-glass over density and a more extended high velocity dumbbell structure. The model was evolved to a much later date, day 455 after outburst, when second epoch HST images were secured. However, due to the lack of simultaneous ground-based spectroscopy the evolved model was much harder to constrain. One suggestion put forward was that the dumbbell structure expanded linearly while the inner hour-glass showed signs of deceleration. Archival data in the form of ground-based spectroscopy on day 415 were subsequently obtained. These new data suggest indeed that a non-linear expansion of the system occurred.

Abstract We used archival data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra) and the Hubble Space Telescope, to identify 334 candidate X-ray binary systems and their potential optical counterparts in the interacting galaxy pair NGC 5194/5195 (M51). We present the catalog and data analysis of X-ray and optical properties for those sources, from the deep 892 ks Chandra observations, along with the magnitudes of candidate optical sources as measured in the 8.16 ks Hubble Space Telescope observations. The X-ray luminosity function of the X-ray sources above a few times 1036 erg s−1 follows a power law N ( > L X , b ) ∝ L X , b 1 − α with α = 1.65 ± 0.03. Approximately 80% of sources are variable over a 30 day window. Nearly half of the X-ray sources (173/334) have an optical counterpart within 0.″5.

AbstractObservations with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), conducted since 1990, have allowed us to create a “movie” of the evolution of the core-collapse supernova SN 1987A from 3–25 years after the explosion. Critical to understanding the late time evolution of SN 1987A was the successful HST Servicing Mission 4 in May 2009. The repair of the STIS instrument and the installation of the WFC3 imager and COS spectrograph have provided crucial data points for understanding the temporal variability in the physical structure and energy sources for SN 1987A, as well as measurements of the chemical abundances of the ejecta. In this proceeding, I will focus on two topics that have made use of the expanded capability of HST and highlight the importance of access to a UV/optical space observatory for the studies of local supernovae: 1) 2) The decreasing maximum velocity of neutral hydrogen crossing the reverse shock front and the role of soft X-ray/EUV heating in the outer supernova debris and 2) The detection of metals (N4+ and C3+ ions) crossing the reverse shock front and CNO processing in the progenitor star.

AbstractWe present a 4.7σ detection of the [OIII] 88 μm line in a gravitationally-lensed Lyman break galaxy, RXC J2248-ID3, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). We did not detect [CII] 158 μm and rest-frame 90 μm dust continuum emission, suggesting that the bulk of the interstellar medium (ISM) is ionized. Our two-component SED model combining the previous Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data and new photometry obtained from Very Large Telescope (VLT), Spitzer and ALMA suggests the presence of young (∼2 Myr) and mature (∼600 Myr) stellar components with the metallicity of Z = 0.2Z⊙. Our findings are in contrast with previous results claiming a very young, metal-poor stellar component.

We have obtained a longslit spectrum at a position angle (PA) of 84.6° and passing within 0.38 arcsec of the nucleus of NGC 4151, using the FOC f/48 camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. The spectrum shows strong emission lines including [OII] λ 3727 and [OIII] λλ 4959, 5007. By fitting with Gaussian velocity profiles, we resolve the emission lines, within 1 arcsec of the nucleus, into a high and low velocity component. The low velocity component has a total range in radial velocity of 200 km s−1 and appears to be associated with material comprising the knots seen in the FOC, F501N [O III] image of NGC 4151, illustrated in Boksenberg (1993). The much weaker high velocity system has a range of 1000 km s−1, is more smoothly distributed in brightness and shows a peak brightness close to the nucleus. Because the slit did not intersect the nucleus it is possible to determine the PA at which the two velocity systems cross the zero velocity axis. This is at PA −26° for the low velocity system and PA +32° for the high velocity system. These PA values may be subject to a systematic error as the zero velocity is defined by the mean position of the line, in the absence of any external calibration.
