We present a detailed analysis of deep far-infrared observations of the nearby edge-on star-forming galaxy NGC 4631 obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory. Our PACS images at 70 and 160 um show a rich complex of filaments and…
Polarized dust emission is a key tracer in the study of interstellar medium and of star formation. The observed polarization, however, is a product of magnetic field structure, dust grain properties and grain alignment efficiency, as well…
We report mid-IR interferometric measurements with \sim 10 mas resolution, which resolve the warm (T = 285 +25 / -50 K) thermal emission at the center of NGC 4151. Using pairs of VLT 8.2 m telescopes with MIDI and by comparing the data to a…
In this paper, we report on high angular resolution radio observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6881 obtained with the Very Large Array at a wavelength of 6 cm. The emission appears to be the superposition of a roundish core and a…
We present high and moderate spectral resolution spectroscopy of diffuse ionized gas (DIG) emission in the halo of NGC 891. The data were obtained with the SparsePak integral field unit at the WIYN Observatory. The wavelength coverage…
We present a study of ionized gas, PAHs, and molecular hydrogen emission in the halos of three edge-on galaxies, NGC 891, NGC 5775 and NGC 3044, based on 10-20 micron Spitzer Space Telescope spectra. The [Ne III]/[Ne II] ratio, an excellent…
The metallicity of galactic gaseous halos provides insights into accretion and feedback of galaxies. The nearby edge-on galaxy NGC 891 has a multi-component gaseous halo and a background AGN (LQAC 035+042 003) projected 5 kpc above the disk…
We present high sensitivity H91$\alpha$ and 3.5 cm radio continuum observations toward the planetary nebula NGC 3242. The electron temperature determined assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium is consistent within $\sim$10% with that…
We have observed the continuum emission of the interacting galaxy NGC4631 at 0.87 and 1.23mm using the Heinrich-Hertz-Telescope on Mt. Graham and the IRAM 30-m telescope on Pico Veleta. We have obtained fully sampled maps which cover the…
We use the radiation transfer simulation of Xilouris et al. (1999) to constrain the quantity of dust in three nearby spiral galaxies (NGC 4013, NGC 5907 and NGC 891). The predicted visual optical depth from the model is compared with the…
The properties of the gas in halos of galaxies constrain global models of the interstellar medium. Kinematical information is of particular interest since it is a clue to the origin of the gas. Here we report observations of the kinematics…
We present high resolution BV images of 12 edge-on spiral galaxies observed with the WIYN 3.5-m telescope. These images were obtained to search for extraplanar (|z| > 0.4 kpc) absorbing dust structures similar to those previously found in…
We present new spectroscopic observations of the inner circumgalactic medium (CGM) of NGC 891 taken with the Mid-Infrared Imager/Medium Resolution Spectroscopy instrument onboard JWST, in four positions: two near the bulge and two at…
(Abridged) We present H-alpha images of five edge-on galaxies: NGC 891, NGC 4631, NGC 4244, NGC 3003, and UGC 9242. We also analyze [SII] 6717+6731A and [OIII] 5007A images of NGC 4631. We analyze the ionized gas content, with particular…
We present detailed modeling of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the spiral galaxies NGC 891, NGC 4013, and NGC 5907 in the far-infrared and submm wavelengths. The model takes into account the emission produced by the diffuse dust…
We present neutral hydrogen observations of the nearby edge-on spiral galaxy NGC891 which show extended extra-planar emission up to distances of 15 kpc from the plane. 3D modeling of the galaxy shows that this emission comes from halo gas…
