Near - Infrared Spectroscopy of Molecular Hydrogen Emission in Four Reflection Nebulae : NGC 1333 , NGC 2023 , NGC 2068 , and NGC 7023
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of fluorescent molecular hydrogen (H2) emission from NGC 1333, NGC 2023, NGC 2068, and NGC 7023 and derive the physical properties of the molecular material in these reflection nebulae. Our observations of NGC 2023 and NGC 7023 and the physical parameters we derive for these nebulae are in good agreement with previous studies. Both NGC 1333 and NGC 2068 hav...
متن کاملProbing the Photodissociation Region toward Hd 200775
The illuminating source of the photodissociation region associated with the reÑection nebula NGC 7023 is HD 200775. We probed the foreground atomic and molecular material through diagnostics observed in absorption against the background star. Ground-based measurements of Na I, K I, and Ca II and of the molecules CH, CH`, and CN were analyzed in order to extract the physical conditions 2 for thi...
متن کاملNear - Infrared Spectroscopy of Molecular Filaments in the Reflection Nebula NGC 7023 Paul Martini
We present near-infrared spectroscopy of fluorescent molecular hydrogen (H2) emission from molecular filaments in the reflection nebula NGC 7023. We derive the relative column densities of H2 rotational-vibrational states from the measured line emission and compare these results with several model photodissociation regions covering a range of densities, incident UV-fields, and excitation mechan...
متن کاملAre Silicon Nanoparticles an Interstellar Dust Component ?
Silicon nanoparticles (SNPs) with oxide coatings have been proposed as the source of the observed ““ extended red emission ÏÏ (ERE) from interstellar dust. We calculate the thermal emission expected from such particles, both in a reÑection nebula such as NGC 2023 and in the di†use interstellar medium (ISM). It is shown that SNPs (both neutral and charged) would produce a strong emission 2 featu...
متن کاملDust Emission Features in NGC
We present 0.35 to 2.5 μm spectra of the south and northwest filaments in the reflection nebula NGC 7023. These spectra were used to test the theory of Seahra & Duley that carbon nanoparticles are responsible for Extended Red Emission (ERE). Our spectra fail to show their predicted second emission band at 1.0 μm even though both filaments exhibit strong emission in the familiar 0.7 μm ERE band....
