Primordial Star Formation under Far-Ultraviolet Radiation
Thermal and chemical evolution of primordial gas clouds irradiated with farultraviolet (FUV; hν < 13.6 eV) radiation is investigated. In clouds irradiated by intense FUV radiation, sufficient hydrogen molecules to be important for cooling are never formed. However, even without molecular hydrogen, if the clouds are massive enough, they start collapsing via atomic hydrogen line cooling. Such clo...
متن کاملThe Far-Ultraviolet Radiation from Elliptical Galaxies
Since the discovery of the Ultraviolet Upturn Phenomenon (“UVX”) in early-type galaxies it has been clear that the stellar populations of such systems contain an unexpected hot component. Recent work has provided strong circumstantial evidence that the stars radiating at short wavelengths (λ < 2000 Å) is in fact due to hot horizontal branch, post-HB stars and post-AGB stars. We summarize the ar...
متن کاملFar - Ultraviolet Observations of NGC 3516 using the Hopkins UltravioletTelescopeG
We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3516 twice during the ight of Astro-2 using the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in March 1995. Simultaneous X-ray observations were performed with ASCA. Our far-ultraviolet spectra cover the spectral range 820{1840 A with a resolution of 2{4 A. No signiicant variations were found between the two observations. The total spectr...
متن کاملDiffuse Far-ultraviolet Observations of the Taurus Region
Diffuse far-ultraviolet (FUV: 1370–1670 Å) flux from the Taurus molecular cloud region has been observed with the SPEAR/FIMS imaging spectrograph. An FUV continuum map of the Taurus region, similar to the visual extinction maps, shows a distinct cloud core and halo region. The dense cloud core, where the visual extinction is Av > 1.5, obscures the background diffuse FUV radiation, while a scatt...
متن کاملStrong far-field coherent scattering of ultraviolet radiation by holococcolithophores.
By considering the structure of holococcoliths (calcite plates that cover holococcolithophores, a haploid phase of the coccolithophore life cycle) as a photonic structure, we apply a discrete dipolar approximation to study the light backscattering properties of these algae. We show that some holococcolith structures have the ability to scatter the ultraviolet radiation. This property may repres...
