AbstractThe Australia Telescope Compact Array has been used for observations, with arcsecond resolution, of the HII region N159 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Images at 5 GHz reveal a second compact continuum component which has no obvious counterpart at optical and infrared wavelengths. Observations of HI 10α recombination-line emission, and HI and H2CO absorption, suggest that the object is a compact HII region embedded in a dense obscuring cloud on the edge of N159.

A search for H 2520( recombination line emission was made by scanning the galactic equator region using the Molonglo radio telescope. Upper limits were established over the range of galactic longitude accessible to the instrument. For the region III ;S 40�, estimates of the background thermal continuum brightness temperature were used to derive lower limits of ~ 2000 K for the electron temperature of the gas along the line of sight. Lower limits for the electron density obtained by considering probable non-LTE effects suggest that the thermal emission over this range is due to low surface brightness HII regions. The observed H 2520( upper limit averaged over the range 270� ;S I ;S 320� just admits the line intensity calculated by Shaver (1975) for the cold cloud component of the general interstellar medium.

H109a, recombination line observations are used in an attempt to classify 46 galactic radio sources as either supernova remnants or HII regions. Long integrations at the H109a line frequency on two well-known supernova remnants (IC 443 and 3C 391) provide improved upper limits on the line emission from these objects. From these results the electron temperature in IC 443 is estimated to be in excess of 1�6 � 104 K.

ABSTRACT We present images of η Carinae in the recombination lines H30α and He30α and the underlying continuum with 50 mas resolution (110 au), obtained with ALMA. For the first time, the 230 GHz continuum image is resolved into a compact core, coincident with the binary system position, and a weaker extended structure to the NW of the compact source. Iso-velocity images of the H30α recombination line show at least 16 unresolved sources with velocities between −30 and −65 km s−1 distributed within the continuum source. A NLTE model, with density and temperature of the order of 107 cm−3 and 104 K, reproduce both the observed H30α line profiles and their underlying continuum flux densities. Three of these sources are identified with Weigelt blobs D, C, and B; estimating their proper motions, we derive ejection times (in years) of 1952.6, 1957.1, and 1967.6, respectively, all of which are close to periastron passage. Weaker H30α line emission is detected at higher positive and negative velocities, extending in the direction of the Homunculus axis. The He30α recombination line is also detected with the same velocity of the narrow H30α line. Finally, the close resemblance of the H30α image with that of an emission line that was reported in the literature as HCO+(4–3) led us to identify this line as H40δ instead, an identification that is further supported by modelling results. Future observations will enable to determine the proper motions of all the compact sources discovered in the new high angular resolution data of η Carinae.
