Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...

... R-band images obtained at 0.8 arcsec seeing conditions have allowed us to separate foreground star from point-like extragalactic source and estimate their brightness separately. ... To study the nature and properties of the source, we observed it under high spatial resolution. ... CONCLUSION RTT150 optical observations with sub-arcsecond seeing and low resolution spectra confirm the hypothesis of superposition of a radio source onto a `normal' F/G galactic star proposed by [1]. ...

. Comment on J1130-1449 . There are two dominant components in our image. Comparison with the 15 GHz image of Kellermann et al. (1998) reveals that the western component is brighter at the higher frequency, indicating that the brighter (eastern) component in our image may have a steep spectrum. VLBApls home page .
