We present 0.35-2.5 ЮМm spectra of the south and northwest filaments in the reflection nebula NGC 7023. ... Our spectra fail to show their predicted second emission band at 1.0 ЮМm even though both filaments exhibit strong emission in the familiar 0.7 ЮМm ERE band. The northwest filament spectrum does show one, and possibly two, new dust emission features in the near-infrared. We clearly detect a strong emission band at 1.5 ЮМm which we tentatively attribute to ЮВ-FeSi2 grains. ...

Most current theories for magnetospheric emission can be grouped into polar cap, outer gap, and nebular models. These models, at least in some cases, need not be mutually exclusive; the Crab pulsar (among others), for example, shows clear evidence for pulsed emission from the magnetosphere and unpulsed emission from the surrounding nebula. ... This suggestion is strengthened by observation of a distinct soft emission component, consistent with the cooling scenario, from several of these pulsars. ...

However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

... AAS link ] . ... Our internal perspective makes it difficult to determine the spiral structure of our own galaxy. ... H I absorption, on the other hand, traces colder, denser gas that should be more confined in discrete clouds and perhaps discrete spiral arms. In addition, H I self-absorption (HISA) requires background H I emission at the same velocity as the foreground absorbing gas, thus introducing a much-needed constraint on the large-scale sightline geometry and kinematics. ...

... An interactive IRAF task for the analysis of Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer ( EUVE ) emission line spectra is presented. The line flux in extracted spectra may be measured by multiple techniques, including fitting individual lines. ... To aid in identifying lines, the positions of known lines may be marked on the spectrum during the fitting process. Also, model EUVE spectra may be constructed and overlaid using plasma emissivities and source emission measures supplied by the user. ...
