We present integral field unit spectroscopic observations of southern Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe), IC 2501, Hen 2-7, and PB4. The goal of studying these objects together is that, although they have roughly similar intermediate…
Recent ideas suggest that the 18.6 keV antineutrino (nuebar) line from 2-body decay of 3H in crystals is emitted with natural width, motionally narrowed by lattice vibrations as in recoilless emission. It can be resonantly captured in 3He…
Detecting neutral Hydrogen (H\,{\sc i}) via the 21~cm line emission from the intergalactic medium at $z\gtrsim 6$ has been identified as one of the most promising probes of the epoch of cosmic reionization -- a major phase transition of the…
Understanding the ionizing spectrum of low-metallicity galaxies is of great importance for modeling and interpreting emission line observations of early/distant galaxies. Although a wide suite of stellar evolution, atmosphere, population…
Radiative cooling plays a crucial role in the dynamics of many astrophysical flows, and is particularly important in the dense shocked gas within Herbig-Haro (HH) objects and stellar jets. Simulating cooling processes accurately is…
The physics of recombination lines (RLs) in the HeI singlet system is expected to be relatively simple, supported by accurate atomic models. We examine the intensities of HeI singlets $\lambda \lambda$3614, 3965, 5016, 6678, 7281 and the…
Molecular spectral cubes of prestellar cores encode the information on the physical and chemical properties of these objects along the line of sight. To retrieve this information, we need an interpretable model that reproduces the observed…
We present a high-resolution (R ~ 50 000) atlas of a uranium-neon (U/Ne) hollow-cathode spectrum in the H-band (1454 nm to 1638 nm) for the calibration of near-infrared spectrographs. We obtained this U/Ne spectrum simultaneously with a…
We present near-IR narrow-band continuum-subtracted images in the H$_2$ $2.122\mu$m, and Br$\gamma$ $2.166\mu$m emission lines for a sample of 15 bipolar planetary nebulae. H$_2$ emission was definitely detected for most of the objects in…
Spectroscopic observations of the hybrid V458 Vul obtained between days 9 and 778 after the brightness maximum are analyzed. Short-period, daily profile variations of forbidden [FeVII] iron lines were detected in the nebular phase, as well…
We present a code for modelling the ionization conditions of optically thin astrophysical gas structures. Given the gas hydrogen density, equilibrium temperature, elemental abundances, and the ionizing spectrum, the code solves the…
The evolution of neutral hydrogen (HI) across redshifts is a powerful probe of cosmology, large scale structure in the universe and the intergalactic medium. Using a data-driven halo model to describe the distribution of HI in the…
We present high signal-to-noise spectrophotometric observations of seven luminous HII galaxies. The observations have been made with the use of a double-arm spectrograph which provides spectra with a wide wavelength coverage, from 3400 to…
The two electron configuration in the Helium atom is known to very high precision. Yet, we tend to refer to this configuration as a $1s\uparrow 1s\downarrow$ singlet, where the designations refer to Hydrogen orbitals. The high precision…
We compute synthetic optical and ultraviolet (UV) emission-line properties of galaxies in a full cosmological framework by coupling, in post-processing, new-generation nebular-emission models with high-resolution, cosmological zoom-in…
In 21 cm cosmology, precision calibration is key to the separation of the neutral hydrogen signal from very bright but spectrally-smooth astrophysical foregrounds. The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), an interferometer…
We construct the B.S. equation for the hybrid mesons under instantaneous approximation. The kernel is chosen as the sum of an one-gluon exchange potential and a linear confining potential. The equations are solved by numerical method, and…

Due to its proximity to the Earth and its nearly edge-on geometry, the Orion Bar provides an excellent testbed for detailed models of the structure of HII regions and the surrounding photon-dominated regions. In the present study, a…
