Hypothesis A prototypical modelling approach is required for a full characterisation of the static and equilibrium dynamical properties of confined ionic liquids (ILs), in order to gain predictive power of properties that are difficult to…
We present a spectrum of the planetary nebula M 2-36 obtained using the Ultra Violet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). 446 emission lines are detected. We perform an analysis of the chemical…
We make available a library of documented IDL .pro files as well as a shareable object library that allows IDL to call routines from LAPACK. The routines are for use in the spectral analysis of time series data. The primary focus of these…
High-resolution optical integral field units (IFUs) are rapidly expanding our knowledge of extragalactic emission nebulae in galaxies and galaxy clusters. By studying the spectra of these objects -- which include classic HII regions,…
Emission lines in ionized nebulae can provide strong and useful constraints on the properties of both ionizing and non-ionizing stellar populations in regions with star formation, provided that stellar evolution and stellar atmosphere…
The derivation of abundances in gaseous nebulae ionised by massive stars using optical collisionally excited emission lines is studied in this work comparing the direct or $T_e$ method with updated grids of photoionisation models covering a…
We present a new database of absorption and emission-line measurements based on the entire spectral atlas from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) 7th data release of galaxies within a redshift of 0.2. Our work makes use of the publicly…
Emission-line abundances have been uncertain for more than a decade due to unexplained discrepancies in the relative intensities of the forbidden lines and weak permitted recombination lines in planetary nebulae (PNe) and H II regions. The…
Two-dimensional (2D) line ratio diagnostic diagrams have become a key tool in understanding the excitation mechanisms of galaxies. The curves used to separate the different regions - HII-like or else excited by an active galactic nucleus…
Future and on-going infrared and radio observatories such as JWST, METIS or ALMA will increase the amount of rest-frame IR spectroscopic data for galaxies by several orders of magnitude. While studies of the chemical composition of the ISM…
Line intensity mapping (LIM) is an emerging observational method to study the large-scale structure of the Universe and its evolution. LIM does not resolve individual sources but probes the fluctuations of integrated line emissions. A…
This paper outlines a way to determine the ICF using only infrared data. We identify four line pairs, [NeIII] 36$\micron$/[NeII] 12.8$\micron$, [NeIII]~15.6$\micron$ /[NeII] 12.8$\micron$, [ArIII] 9$\micron$/[ArII] 6.9$\micron$, and [ArIII]…

ABRIDGED: 2D spectroscopic MUSE data for the whole extent of NGC3132 have been reduced and analised. The dust extinction, electron densities and temperatures of the ionised gas and abundances were determined. The nebula presents a complex…
This paper presents a homogeneous study of abundances in a sample of 79 northern galactic planetary nebulae whose morphological classes have been uniformly determined. Ionic abundances and plasma diagnostics were derived from selected…
We present a finite-element software library, IRENE, which allows to solve numerically the dynamics of a viscous fluid layer embedded in three-dimensional space. Unlike finite-element libraries present in the literature, IRENE can handle…

Hydrodynamic simulations are powerful tools for studying galaxy formation. However, it is crucial to test and improve the sub-grid physics underlying these simulations by comparing their predictions with observations. To this aim,…
We re-examine the well-known discrepancy between ionic abundances determined via the analysis of recombination lines (RLs) and collisionally excited lines (CELs). We show that abundance variations can be mimicked in a {\it chemically…
