John Dyson was born on the 7th January 1941 in Meltham Mills, West Yorkshire, England, and later grew up in Harrogate and Leeds. The proudest moment of John's early life was meeting Freddie Trueman, who became one of the greatest fast bowlers of English cricket. John used a state scholarship to study at Kings College London, after hearing a radio lecture by D. M. McKay. He received a first class BSc Special Honours Degree in Physics in 1962, and began a Ph.D. at the University of Manchester Department of Astronomy after being attracted to astronomy by an article of Zdenek Kopal in the semi-popular journal New Scientist. John soon started work with Franz Kahn, and studied the possibility that the broad emission lines seen from the Orion Nebula were due to flows driven by the photoevaporation of neutral globules embedded in a HII region. John's thesis was entitled “The Age and Dynamics of the Orion Nebula“ and he passed his oral examination on 28th February 1966.

Interferometric observations of profiles of He I λ 10830 emission lines in 11 planetary nebulae, and in selected regions of the Orion Nebula, are presented. In common with the Orion Nebula, the planetaries are shown to emit a P Cygni-like λ 10830 line, with the absorption component shifted toward the violet with respect to the laboratory wavelength in a frame of reference at rest in the centre of expansion of the gas. The emission components are shifted toward the red. In planetaries, the negative displacements of the absorption edges are, in general, approximately equal to the widths, β, of the emission components which, in turn, range from about 12 km/sec in IC 418 to about 28 km/sec in NGC 6210. The emission red-shift is about 0·7 β on the average, but individual shifts vary from 0·5 β in IC 2149 to 1·05 β in NGC 6826. The line widths and shifts tend to increase in nebulae with larger expansion velocities. In Orion, the absorption edges in the λ 10830 line coincide in velocity with those in the line He I λ 3888 observed against the spectra of the Trapezium stars. In planetaries, the absorption edges in the λ 10830 line appear qualitatively similar to those in the line He I λ 3888, but a coincidence in velocity could not be demonstrated.The observed profiles indicate that the nebulae are expanding, or that they contain expanding globules or filaments. Some form of circumnebular absorbing zone may be indicated. However, it is suggested that frequency redistribution associated with resonance-like scattering in a homogeneous expanding medium might in principle (even in the absence of stratification) account for the shifted λ 10830 profiles. (See Hummer, D.G. and Rybicki, G.B. (1968), Astrophys. J. Letters (in press), for a further discussion of this point.)No trace of He3 is evident from the profiles. Quantitative conclusions are uncertain without a model which reproduces most of the phenomena, but an upper limit of He3/He4 ≤ 0·05 or even 0·01 is suggested on the basis of conservative assumptions.

Cyclic Variations

AbstractLong-term cyclic variations in the distribution of prominences and intensities of green (530.3 nm) and red (637.4 nm) coronal emission lines over solar cycles 18–23 are presented. Polar prominence branches will reach the poles at different epochs in cycle 23: the north branch at the beginning in 2002 and the south branch a year later (2003), respectively. The local maxima of intensities in the green line show both poleward- and equatorward-migrating branches. The poleward branches will reach the poles around cycle maxima like prominences, while the equatorward branches show a duration of 18 years and will end in cycle minima (2007). The red corona shows mostly equatorward branches. The possibility that these branches begin to develop at high latitudes in the preceding cycles cannot be excluded.

Images with subarcsec spatial resolution in the light of near-infrared atomic (Bry) and molecular hydrogen H2 (S(1) v=1-0) emission lines were obtained for some extended, pointlike objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) for the first time. We used the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) near-infrared array spectrometer FAST (image scale 0.8”/pix, spectral resolving power 950) at the ESO/MPI 2.2m telescope, La Silla. We present some results on the 30-Dor complex and N159A5.
