Fossil HII Regions: Self-Limiting Star Formation at High Redshift
Recent results by the WMAP satellite suggest that the intergalactic medium was significantly reionized at redshifts as high as z ∼ 17. At this early epoch, the first ionizing sources likely appeared in the shallow potential wells of mini–halos with virial temperatures Tvir < 10 K. Once such an ionizing source turns off, its surrounding HII region Compton cools and recombines. Nonetheless, we sh...
متن کاملHierarchical Star Formation in M51: Star/Cluster Complexes
We report on a study of young star cluster complexes in the spiral galaxy M51. Recent studies have confirmed that star clusters do not form in isolation, but instead tend to form in larger groupings or complexes. We use HST broad and narrow band images (from both WFPC2 and ACS), along with BIMA-CO observations to study the properties and investigate the origin of these complexes. We find that t...
متن کاملHST - WFPC 2 Observations of the Star Clusters in the Giant HII Regions of M 33
We present a photometric study of the stars in ionizing star clusters embedded in several giant HII regions of M33 (CC93, IC 142, NGC 595, MA2, NGC 604 and NGC 588). Our photometry are based on the HST-WFPC2 images of these clusters. Color-magnitude diagrams and color-color diagrams of these clusters are obtained and are used for estimating the reddenings and ages of the clusters. The luminosit...
متن کاملOn the structure of giant HII regions and HII galaxies
We review the structural properties of giant extragalactic HII regions and HII galaxies based on two dimensional hydrodynamic calculations, and propose an evolutionary sequence that accounts for their observed detailed structure. The model assumes a massive and young stellar cluster surrounded by a large collection of clouds. These are thus exposed to the most important star-formation feedback ...
متن کاملStar-forming Dwarf Galaxies: Ariadne’s Thread in the Cosmic Labyrinth Star Formation in Hii Galaxies. Properties of the ionized gas
We present two set of high signal-to-noise spectrophotometric observations of three and seven compact and luminous Hii galaxies observed with the WHT and the 3.5 m telescope at CAHA, respectively. All the observations have been made with the use of a double-arm spectrograph which provides spectra with a wide wavelength coverage, from 3200 to 10500 Åfor the WHT data and 3400 to 10400 Åfor the CA...
