AbstractUsing the imaging Fourier transform spectrograph (FTS) SpIOMM we study 7 nearby spiral galaxies. The large database of spectra obtained around Hα and Hβ is ideal to study the star forming regions and warm ionized medium (WIM) with a high spatial resolution (∼ 50-150 pc).

Abstract NGC 628 is one of many spiral galaxies that has been observed and analyzed to determine the chemical composition. Since there have been improvements in the methods of analysis recently, this paper finds new values for the electron temperatures within this galaxy. Additionally, it brings up a previously unnoticed iron line contamination problem that has affected the [O iii] temperatures and fluxes. Temperature results are compared against, the most recent chemical analysis of the same galaxy.

AbstractWe present a model for hydrodynamic + N-body simulations of star cluster formation and evolution using AMUSE. Our model includes gas dynamics, star formation in regions of dense gas, stellar evolution and a galactic tidal spiral potential, thus incorporating most of the processes that play a role in the evolution of star clusters.We test our model on initial conditions of two colliding molecular clouds as well as a section of a spiral arm from a previous galaxy simulation.

X Ray Binaries

AbstractChandra and XMM-Newton are revolutionizing our understanding of compact binaries in external galaxies, allowing us to study sources in detail in Local Group Galaxies and study populations in more distant systems. In M31 the X-ray luminosity function depends on the local stellar population in the sense that areas with active star formation have more high luminosity sources, and a higher overall source density (Kong. Di Stefano. Garcia, & Greiner 2003). This result is also true in galaxies outside the Local Group; starburst galaxies have flatter X-ray luminosity functions than do spiral galaxies which are in turn flatter than elliptical galaxies. These observational results suggest that the high end of the luminosity function in star forming regions is dominated by short-lived high mass X-ray binaries.In Chandra Cycle 2 we started a Large Project to survey a sample of 11 nearby (< 10Mpc) face-on spiral galaxies. We find that sources can be approximately classified on the basis of their X-ray color into low mass X-ray binaries, high mass X-ray binaries and supersoft sources. There is an especially interesting class of source that has X-ray colors softer (“redder”) than a typical low mass X-ray binary source, but not so extreme as supersoft sources. Most of these are probably X-ray bright supernova remnants, but some may be a new type of black hole accretor. Finally, when we construct a luminosity function of sources selecting only sources with low mass X-ray binary colors (removing soft sources) we find that there is a dip or break probably associated with the Eddington luminosity for a neutron star.

AbstractWe explore the physical characteristics of young stellar clusters in the Antennae by combining recent ground- and space-based mid-infrared observations with a newly developed set of diagnostic diagrams. Spitzer data give an overview of the star-forming regions extending over hundreds of parsecs, showing a dominant diffuse ISM component with a density of 102 cm−3 plus a small fraction of very compact material (106 cm−3). With its higher spatial resolution VISIR gives a close-up view of the latter component. Its emission line ratios suggest that these regions are fundamentally different from local star-forming regions. Instead of having small isolated UCHII regions, as in local star-forming regions, the average density of the medium of the whole region falls in the (ultra)compact regime, exceeding 104 cm−3 over tens of parsecs.

Spiral galaxies are a composite of two dynamical population types: the spheroidal and disk populations. These can be studied in isolation in E and Irr galaxies, respectively. It is natural to expect that the combination in a spiral of a dense spheroidal population, having a deep central potential well, with a repository of interstellar gas and dust in the disk gives rise to special conditions not usually found in E or Irr galaxies. And in fact, we find spectacular concentrations of star forming regions in some spiral nuclei.In this review, I will limit most of the discussion to later spiral types which are classified as “intermediate” in the Yerkes system (Morgan and Osterbrock 1969). Types earlier than Sbc usually have “k-nuclei,” where the spheroidal population dominates; excellent reviews are available for these types (van den Bergh 1975, Faber 1977).

AbstractUntil recently, high spatial resolution full Stokes maser polarimetry was the sole domain of northern interferometers and a wealth of sources in the far south remained unexplored due to a lack of suitable instrumentation having both high spatial and high velocity resolution. The Australia Telescope Long Baseline Array (LBA) has now switched to disk-based software correlation, permitting full Stokes observing in spectral line mode with velocity channels which are sufficiently narrow to sample usefully the polarization structure. To illustrate the utility of this valuable addition to radio astronomy, we present preliminary results of the first such polarimetric observation, the subject of which are the OH masers in the star-forming region G340.054–0.244.

AbstractWe present and discuss VLA-EVLA high-sensitivity and spatial resolution observations of Water Vapor MASERs and continuum emission towards two sources that have been proposed in the literature to be high-mass star forming regions: IRAS 19217+1651 and 23151+5912. Our results indicate the presence of disks which can confirm that these regions are high-mass star forming regions.
