Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) was a shuttle-borne instrument used to obtain ultraviolet spectra in the far ultraviolet region of the spectrum. It was part of the ASTRO payload complement of three co-mounted instruments that flew in December 1990 and March 1995 as Space Shuttle missions. More than 650 spectra were obtained of 340 targets. In April, 2013, the HUT data was reprocessed to improve calibration, expand metadata, add new data products, and update file formats. The current cone service uses the metadata from these reprocessed files.

HST/ACS Atlas of Great Orion Nebula proplyds
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the atlas of protoplanetary disks in the Orion Nebula based on the Wide Field Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS/WFC) images obtained for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Treasury Program on the Orion Nebula Cluster. The observations have been carried out in five photometric filters nearly equivalent to the standard B, V, H{alpha}, I, and z passbands. Our master catalog lists 178 externally ionized protoplanetary disks (proplyds), 28 disks seen only in absorption against the bright nebular background (silhouette disks), eight disks seen only as dark lanes at the midplane of extended polar emission (bipolar nebulae or reflection nebulae), and five sources showing jet emission with no evidence of either external ionized gas emission or dark silhouette disks.

Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is an orbiting astronomical observatory operating from the near-infrared into the ultraviolet. Launched in 1990 and scheduled to operate through 2010, HST carries and has carried a wide variety of instruments producing imaging, spectrographic, astrometric, and photometric data through both pointed and parallel observing programs. MAST is the primary archive and distribution center for HST data, distributing science, calibration, and engineering data to HST users and the astronomical community at large. Over 100 000 observations of more than 20 000 targets are available for retrieval from the Archive.
44. Infrared nebulae around young stellar objects

Title:
Infrared nebulae around young stellar objects
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a K-band atlas of 106 reflection nebulae, 41 of which are new discoveries. We observed these nebulae with the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope in the course of an imaging survey of 197 objects that were selected as nearby young Class I sources. K-band images and flux-calibrated surface brightness contour plots of each nebula are presented.
45. International Ultraviolet Explorer

Title:
International Ultraviolet Explorer
Short Name:
IUE

Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:
The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) performed spectrophotometry at high (0.1-0.3 Å) and low (6-7 Å) resolution between 1150 Å and 3200 Å. The data cover a dynamic range of approximately 17 astronomical magnitudes: -2 to 10 for high dispersion; -2 and 14.9 for low dispersion. Over 104,000 ultraviolet spectra were obtained with IUE between January 26, 1978, and September 30, 1996.
46. Ionized nebulae in M31
ID:

Title:
Ionized nebulae in M31
Short Name:
J/A+AS/92/625
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Deep CCD imagery in H{alpha} and [SII] is presented of the major spiral arms of M31 with particular attention given to the data reduction and the analysis of the [SII]/H{alpha} flux ratios. A diffuse ionized gas noted in the images is analyzed which shows higher [SII]/H{alpha} ratios, and 967 discrete nebulae are listed with gray-scale images, finding charts, and absolute fluxes. The differential H-alpha luminosity function is found to have a slope of -0.95 for brighter objects and flattens out below a critical level. The curve is shown to correspond to the point at which single-star ionization accounts for the H{alpha} luminosities and is consistent with previous observations. The catalog of objects and fluxes is the largest existing sample of this type, and the unresolved objects in the sample are considered to be planetary nebulae.

Title:
IRDC cores in SCUBA Legacy Catalogue
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
We present an investigation of candidate infrared dark cloud (IRDC) cores as identified by Simon et al. (2006, Cat. J/ApJ/639/227) located within the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) Legacy Catalogue. After applying a uniform noise cut to the catalogue data, we identify 154 IRDC cores that were detected at 850um and 51 cores that were not. We derive column densities for each core from their 8um extinction and find that the IRDCs detected at 850um have higher column densities (a mean of 1.7x10^22^cm^-2^) compared to those cores not detected at 850um (a mean of 1.0x10^22^cm-2).
49. IR nebulae around bright massive stars

Title:
IR nebulae around bright massive stars
Short Name:
J/A+A/618/A110

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Recent studies show that more than 70% of massive stars do not evolve as effectively single stars, but as members of interacting binary systems. The evolution of these stars is thus strongly altered compared to similar but isolated objects. We investigate the occurrence of parsec-scale mid-infrared nebulae around early-type stars. If they exist over a wide range of stellar properties, one possible overarching explanation is non-conservative mass transfer in binary interactions, or stellar mergers. For ~3850 stars (all OBA stars in the Bright Star Catalogue (BSC, Cat. V/50), Be stars, BeXRBs, and Be+sdO systems), we visually inspect WISE 22um images. Based on nebular shape and relative position, we distinguish five categories: offset bow shocks structurally aligned with the stellar space velocity, unaligned offset bow shocks, and centered, unresolved, and not classified nebulae. In the BSC, we find that 28%, 13%, and 0.4% of all O, B, and A stars, respectively, possess associated infrared (IR) nebulae. Additionally, 34/234 Be stars, 4/72 BeXRBs, and 3/17 Be+sdO systems are associated with IR nebulae. Aligned or unaligned bow shocks result from high relative velocities between star and interstellar medium (ISM) that are dominated by the star or the ISM, respectively. About 13% of the centered nebulae could be bow shocks seen head- or tail-on. For the rest, the data disfavor explanations as remains of parental disks, supernova remnants of a previous companion, and dust production in stellar winds. The existence of centered nebulae also at high Galactic latitudes strongly limits the global risk of coincidental alignments with condensations in the ISM. Mass loss during binary evolution seems a viable mechanism for the formation of at least some of these nebulae. In total, about 29% of the IR nebulae (2% of all OBA stars in the BSC) may find their explanation in the context of binary evolution.
50. IR properties of stellar bowshock nebulae

Title:
IR properties of stellar bowshock nebulae
Short Name:
J/AJ/154/201
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Arcuate infrared nebulae are ubiquitous throughout the Galactic Plane and are candidates for partial shells, bubbles, or bowshocks produced by massive runaway stars. We tabulate infrared photometry for 709 such objects using images from the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Wide-field Infrared Explorer, and the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO). Of the 709 objects identified at 24 or 22 {mu}m, 422 are detected at the HSO 70 {mu}m bandpass. Of these, only 39 are detected at HSO 160 {mu}m. The 70 {mu}m peak surface brightnesses are 0.5-2.5 Jyr/arcmin^2^. Color temperatures calculated from the 24 to 70 {mu}m ratios range from 80 to 400 K. Color temperatures from 70 to 160 {mu}m ratios are systematically lower, 40-200 K. Both of these temperature are, on average, 75% higher than the nominal temperatures derived by assuming that dust is in steady-state radiative equilibrium. This may be evidence of stellar wind bowshocks sweeping up and heating-possibly fragmenting but not destroying-interstellar dust. Infrared luminosity correlates with standoff distance, R_0_, as predicted by published hydrodynamical models. Infrared spectral energy distributions are consistent with interstellar dust exposed to either single radiant energy density, U=10^3^-10^5^ (in more than half of the objects) or a range of radiant energy densities U_min_=25 to U_max_=10^3^-10^5^ times the mean interstellar value for the remainder. Hence, the central OB stars dominate the energetics, making these enticing laboratories for testing dust models in constrained radiation environments. The spectral energy densities are consistent with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fractions q_PAH_~<1% in most objects.
