Middle Infrared

The discovery of infrared continuum emission from NGC 7027 by Gillett, Low, and Stein in 1967 marked the beginning of far infrared observations of planetary nebulae. These early observations verified the predictions (Delmer, Gould, and Ramsey 1967) of infrared fine structure line emission from the SIV ion and also provided a surprise; namely, that the continuum radiation from planetary nebulae was not free-free emission from the gas, but rather that it was thermal emission from heated dust grains. In the ten years which have elapsed since 1967, numerous infrared emission lines have been observed and interpreted in many of the brighter planetary nebulae. In the middle infrared these lines were principally Ne II at 12.8μ, Gillett et al. (1969); SIV at 10.5μ, Holtz, et al. (1971), Gillett, et al. (1972), Aitken and Jones (1973); and AIII at 9.0μ Geballe and Rank (1973) and Gillett and Forrest (1973).

Using Data

Abstract Using data from SDSS, UKIDSS and WISE, we investigate the properties of the high-frequency cutoff to the infrared emission in ≃5000 carefully selected luminous (Lbol ∼ 1047) type 1 quasars. The strength of ≃2 μm emission, corresponding to emission from the hottest ($T>1200\rm \, K$) dust in the sublimation zone surrounding the central continuum source, is observed to correlate with the blueshift of the C iv λ1550 emission line. We therefore find that objects with stronger signatures of nuclear outflows tend to have a larger covering fraction of sublimation-temperature dust. When controlling for the observed outflow strength, the hot dust covering fraction does not vary significantly across our sample as a function of luminosity, black hole mass or Eddington fraction. The correlation between the hot dust and the C iv line blueshifts, together with the lack of correlation between the hot dust and other parameters, therefore provides evidence of a link between the properties of the broad emission line region and the infrared-emitting dusty regions in quasars.

OH megamasers having very high luminosities in the spectral line can be effectively used for the probing of the evolutionary properties of the galaxies in the earliest cosmological epochs. The frequency shift of the emission line uniqually determines the redshift z, which tells about the epoch of emission. One of the important cosmological problems is the investigation of the galaxy mass spectrum in the expanding Universe. There is the empirical relation between the OH and far-infrared luminosities of galaxies. Therefore, if in the earliest cosmological epochs, there were galaxies with sufficient powerful infrared excesses and containing molecular material, they can be detected using the observations of their OH maser emission. The interacting and merging galaxies can be considered as the best candidates for such objects.

Irregular Galaxies

The four clumpy irregular galaxies Mkr 8, 296,297 and 325 have been observed by IRAS. All galaxies have been detected in at least two of the four detector bands. The ratios of the 100 to 60-m flux densities are comparable to those of HII regions or violently star forming galaxies. The average star formation rate in clumpy irregular galaxies is of the order of a few solar masses per year (based on their average far-infrared luminosity and a Hubble constant of 75 km s−1 Mpc−1.

Abstract We present extensive observations of the Carina arm region in the 2.6 mm CO (J = 1−0) emission with the NANTEN telescope in Chile. The observations have revealed 120 molecular clouds which are distributed in an area of 283° < l < 293° and 2° .5 < b < 10°. Because of its vertical elongation to the galactic plane, the clouds are named the Carina flare. H I and far-infrared emission show a cavity-like distribution corresponding to the molecular clouds, and soft X-ray emission appears to fill this cavity. It is shown that the Carina flare represents a supershell at a distance of a few kpc that has been produced by about 20 supernova explosions, or equivalent stellar winds of OB stars, over the last ∼ 2×107 yr. The supershell consisting of molecular and atomic neutral gas involves a total mass and kinetic energy of ≳ 3×105M⊙ and ≳ 3×1050 erg, respectively, and the originally injected energy required is about 100-times this current kinetic energy in the shell. It is unique among supershells known previously because of the following aspects: i) it exhibits evidence for the triggered formation of intermediate-to-high-mass stars and massive molecular clouds of 102 − 104M⊙, and ii) the massive molecular clouds formed are located unusually far above the galactic plane at z ∼ 100–500 pc.
