PN and HII regions of West and East of NGC 3109
Images obtained with the ESO VLT and FORS1 in [O III] 5007 on- and off-band, as well as r_Gunn filters, are analyzed to search for planetary nebula (PN) candidates. In the... -
Westerlund 2 JHKs photometry
Photometry for the stars detected with SOFI, NTT in J, H and Ks in the field containing the massive cluster Westerlund 2 (also know as RCW 49) associated with the HII region... -
Abundances in 53 HII regions
Continuing the systematic determination of the electron temperature of HII regions using the Balmer and/or Paschen discontinuities by Guseva et al. (2006ApJ...644..890G) we... -
Low-metallicity HII regions and galaxies
Our aims are to estimate the validity of empirical methods, such as R23, R23-P, log([NII]/H{alpha}) (N2), log[([OIII]/H{beta})/([NII]/H{alpha}] (O3N2), and log([SII]/H{alpha})... -
JHK photometry around IRAS 09149-4743
We present the results of a near-infrared survey of the young stellar cluster associated with IRAS 09149-4743, a member of the Vela Molecular Ridge. The main purpose of this... -
A composite HII region luminosity function
Statistical properties of HII region populations in disk galaxies yield important clues to the physics of massive star formation. We present a set of HII region catalogues and... -
Abundances of emission galaxies in SDSS-DR3
We have re-evaluated empirical expressions for the abundance determination of N, O, Ne, S, Cl, Ar and Fe taking into account the latest atomic data and constructing an... -
Mid-infrared images of W75N
An infrared study that includes ground-based mid-infrared images between 8.7 and 18.7um and IRAC images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0um of the W75 N massive star forming region is... -
HII regions in 5 spiral galaxies
We have obtained spectroscopic observations from 3600{AA} to 9200{AA} with FORS at the Very Large Telescope for approximately 70 HII regions located in the spiral galaxies NGC... -
K magnitudes of OB stars in UCHIIs
We have obtained high resolution (R=10000) K-band spectra of candidate young massive stars deeply embedded in (ultra-) compact HII regions (UCHIIs). These objects were selected... -
BVR photometry in N214C
We study the Large Magellanic Cloud HII region N 214C using imaging and spectroscopy obtained at the ESO New Technology Telescope. On the basis of the highest resolution images... -
Water maser survey of methanol maser sources
High sensitivity observations of the 22GHz water maser emission have been carried out with the Effelsberg 100m radio telescope. The observed sample was 79 candidate high-mass... -
Expansive components in HII regions
We study the presence of low intensity high velocity components, which we have termed wing features in the integrated Halpha emission line profiles of the HII region populations... -
HII regions in minor mergers of galaxies
We present the results of the B, V and I photometry of eleven southern minor mergers. The total apparent B magnitude, integrated B-V and V-I colours were measured. We built B,... -
SIMBA survey. 1.2-mm/IRAS sources
We report the results of a 1.2mm continuum emission survey toward 146 IRAS sources thought to harbour high-mass star forming regions. The sources have FIR colors typical of... -
Kinematic analysis of the Minispiral
We have obtained BEAR spectro-imaging data of the Galactic Center HII region "Sgr A West", also known as the "Minispiral", in the hydrogen Brackett {gamma} line (2.166 microns).... -
HST photometry of brightest stars of NGC 588
We present the results of a double analysis of the ionizing cluster in NGC 588, a giant HII region (GHR) in the outskirts of the nearby galaxy M33. For this purpose, we obtained... -
1.2mm mapping of RCW 106 Giant Molecular Cloud
We have mapped the dust continuum emission from the molecular cloud covering a region of 28pcx94pc associated with the well-known H II region RCW 106 at 1.2mm using SIMBA on... -
Spectral indexes in HII galaxies
We analyse the stellar content of a large number of HII galaxies from the continua and absorption features of their spectra using population synthesis methods, in order to gain... -
Oxygen abundance in M101 HII regions
We present the oxygen abundance determination for 90 HII regions in the inner parts of the grand design galaxy M101. The abundances were derived employing the P method...
