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. ...

CIMA configuration files offer You a conveniant way of saving CIMA set-ups to files. ... Then instead of making this selections interactively when You are observing, You can just load and apply the configuration files. ... Any other set-up will be ignored! ... In that case, You are forced to use the 'Load only' option to load the configuration file, inspect the selected set-up carefully, apply the set-up (with the 'Accept' or 'Apply' buttons) and then save a new version of the configuration file. ...

Our understanding of star formation in galaxies is facilitated by observations, at multiple wavelengths, of emission which traces stellar populations. ... Using optical integral field spectroscopy, my work aims to better understand the local SFR calibrations, which use H-alpha and radio continuum emission, when applied to different regions of a galaxy, as well as to galaxies as a whole. ...
