Two recent observational surveys of the Ca II resonance lines (Zarro and Rodgers 1983; Linsky et al. 1979) illustrate the great diversity of line profile shapes found in the spectra of cool stars. This diversity reflects a corresponding wide range in the underlying chromospheric properties of the stars. There are, however, three well-marked systematic trends in the shapes of Ca II line profiles which presumably reflect systematic trends in chromospheric properties. One of these, the Wilson-Bappu effect (Wilson and Bappu 1957), describes the strong correlation betweeen the width of the emission core (see Figure 1) and the absolute visual magnitude of the star. Despite much work, it is still not clear whether this is due primarily to systematic changes of velocity fields (e.g. Hoyle and Wilson 1958) or optical depths (e.g. Jefferies and Thomas 1959) in stellar chromospheres.

Insight Into

We have performed a kinematical and dynamical analysis of the ionized gas content of the late–type spiral NGC 5457 (M101) by means of scanning Fabry–Perot interferometry. the purpose of this study is to gain insight into the dark matter content in this galaxy. A sample of 263 HII regions were catalogued. We calculated radial velocity and velocity dispersions. From the dynamics of the ionized gas we were able to infer a mass of 9.8 × 1010 M⊙ inside a radius of 4'8 (or 10 kpc).

AbstractWe present the results of a multiwavelength campaign searching for young objects in the intragroup medium of seven compact groups of galaxies: HCG 2, 7, 22, 23, 92, 100 and NGC 92. We used Fabry-Perot velocity fields and rotation curves together with GALEX NUV and FUV images, optical R-band and HI maps to evaluate the stage of interaction of each group. We conclude that groups (i) HCG 7 and HCG 23 are in an early stage of interaction, (ii) HCG 2 and HCG 22 are mildly interacting, and (iii) HCG 92, HCG 100 and NGC 92 are in a late stage of evolution. Evolved groups have a population of young objects in their intragroup medium while no such population is found within the less evolved groups. We also report the discovery of a tidal dwarf galaxy candidate in the tail of NGC 92. These three groups, besides containing galaxies which have peculiar velocity fields, also show extended HI tails. Our results indicate that the advanced stage of evolution of a group together with the presence of intragroup HI clouds may lead to star formation in the intragroup medium.

Monitoring of active late-type dwarfs, spectroscopically with high resolution (λ/Δλ ∼ 105) and high S:N (>300) round their activity cycles, principally in the Call H resonance line, offers techniques to explore (a) plage filling factors (b) 3-dimensional chromospheric velocity fields (c) maps of surface activity via “Doppler Imaging”. In this paper we deal with the use of spectral signatures to derive plage cover.

AbstractWe have studied the ionized gas and stellar kinematics in several galaxies with active nuclei and elongated radio structures using 3D spectroscopy. The observations were performed at the SAO RAS 6-m telescope with the integral-field spectrograph MPFS (Afanasiev et al. 2001) and with a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) in the multimode device SCORPIO (Afanasiev & Moiseev 2005). Based on these data the intensity maps and velocity fields in the different emission lines of the ionizing gas were constructed. Using the lines-ratio diagrams we tried to search a source of the gas ionization: an active nucleus, hot young stars or shock waves.

Dark Matter Distribution

We present results obtained from a study of the mass distribution of 24 galaxies observed using Fabry-Pérot techniques, as part of the GHASP survey (see Russeil et al., this meeting). For each galaxy, we combined high resolution Hα rotation curves derived from 2-D velocity fields, with low resolution HI data, in order to determine accurately the inner slope of the rotation curve which strongly constrains the distribution of matter. Our work suggests the existence of a constant density core in the center of the dark halos.
