... Andres Guzman F. Universidad de Chile HCHIIR workshop Sydney, 8 Sept 2010 Ionized jets and HCHIIR Both are related to very earl y stages of high mass star formation They share similar characteristics when observed in cm radio continuum They will be confused in some degree depending on which criteria we used to identify young stellar objects Ionized jets and HCHIIR 1) First criterion for identifying early stages: Less radio continuum than expected for a optically thin HIIR Sewilo et al. ...

The Infrared Supernova Rate . To derive the number of SNe expected in our ground-based data and calculate the IR supernova rate , we have to derive a relation between the luminosity of the galaxies and their Star Formation Rate (SFR) and the shape of the "mean" K-band light curve for a core-collapse SN. ... Rates are generally normalized to the luminosity of the parent galaxy, either the B luminosity of L(FIR). ... For comments please contact: gcresci@arcetri.astro.it . ...

... 2006 March 6 . Unexpected Comet Pojmanski Now Visible . ... Explanation: Have you ever seen a comet? ... Comet Pojmanski , officially designated C/2006 A1 and discovered only in January, now sports a turquoise tail several times longer than the full moon. Comet Pojmanski 's ion tail is due to gas particles expelled by the comet being pushed away from the Sun by the solar wind , the same wind that ionizes gas in the tail causing its blue tint. ...

Emission Line Diagnostics in a ``No UV Bump'' Quasar PHL909 Smita Mathur, Belinda Wilkes, Martin Elvis and Jonathan McDowell Abstract PHL909 is a quasar with unusually low ultraviolet luminosity (blue bump strength C UV=IR = \Gamma0:20 compared to an average value of 0:4 (McDowell et al. ... The intrinsic continuum of PHL909 ( i.e. as seen by the BELR ) may thus be similar to the `standard' continuum, with a big blue bump, reddened along the line of sight. ...

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. ...

... It is reasonable to expect a priori that the evolution of events is strongly time dependent, so the star formation history in a galaxy is another important parameter. Therefore, by calculating the evolution of events after a -function like star formation burst,   one gets a Green function for any arbitrary star formation history. ... The source evolution in a galaxy with given star formation rate is thus calculated as . ...

... The hotter the gas, the faster they move, and the more energy each of them holds. The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much , much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...
