We present new HST/WFPC2 imagery and STIS long-slit spectroscopy of the planetary nebula NGC 7009. The primary goal was to obtain high spatial resolution of the intrinsic line ratio [O III] 4364/5008 and thereby evaluate the electron…

We present a high spatial resolution map of the columnar electron temperature (Tc) of a region to the south west of the Trapezium in the Orion Nebula. This map was derived from Hubble Space Telescope images that isolated the primary lines…

We have performed a detailed analysis of the electron temperature and density in the the Ring Nebula using the calibrated HST WFC3 images described in the preceding paper. The electron temperature (Te) determined from [N II] and [O III]…

We present results of long-slit spectroscopy in several positions of the Orion nebula. Our goal is to study the spatial distribution of a large number of nebular quantities, including line fluxes, physical conditions and ionic abundances at…

HII region electron temperatures are a critical ingredient in metallicity determinations and recent observations reveal systematic variations in the temperatures measured using different ions. We present electron temperatures ($T_e$)…

(Abridged) Aims. We present a homogeneous observational study of electron temperature ($T_{\rm e}$) relations between ionic species: $T_{\rm e}$([N II]), $T_{\rm e}$([O II]), $T_{\rm e}$([O III]), $T_{\rm e}$([S II]), $T_{\rm e}$([S III])…

The existence and origin of large spatial temperature fluctuations in HII regions and planetary nebulae are assumed to explain the differences between the heavy element abundances inferred from collisionally excited and recombination lines,…

A method is presented to derive electron temperatures and densities of planetary nebulae (PNe) simultaneously, using the observed hydrogen recombination spectrum, which includes continuum and line emission. By matching theoretical spectra…

Spectra of high-metallicity (12+log(O/H) > 8.2) HII regions where oxygen auroral lines are measurable in both the O+ and O++ zones, have been extracted from the Data Release 6 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Our final sample…

We revise the physical conditions in the O++ zone of the planetary nebula NGC 6543, obtaining two different estimates of the electron temperature (Te) and one estimate of the electron density (Ne). The electron temperature is computed by…

A high quality, medium-resolution K-band spectrum has been obtained of the ultracompact HII region G29.96-0.02 with the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The slit was positioned along the symmetry axis of the cometary shaped nebula. Besides the…

HST images, MUSE maps of emission-lines, and an atlas of high velocity resolution emission-line spectra have been used to establish for the firrst time correlations of the electron temperature, electron density, radial velocity, turbulence,…

We have used the LONGSP spectrometer on the 1.5-m TIRGO telescope to obtain long slit spectra in the J, H, and K wavelength bands towards two positions along the Orion bar. These data have been supplemented with images made using the ARNICA…

Previously-unexplored diagnostics of O IV in the extreme ultraviolet region 260-280 A are used to derive a temperature and density for a solar flare kernel observed on 2012 March 9 with the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer on the…

We determine the physical conditions in NGC 6543, obtaining two different estimates of the electron temperature (T_e) and one estimate of the electron density (N_e). The electron temperature is computed by means of the [O III] ratio lambda…

We present VLT UVES echelle spectrophotometry of the Orion nebula in the 3100 to 10400 A range. We have measured the intensity of 555 emission lines, many of them corresponding to permitted lines of different heavy-element ions. This is the…

The electron temperatures of high-metallicity (12+log(O/H) > 8.2) HII regions have been studied. The empirical ff relations which express the nebular-to- auroral [OIII] line ratio Q_3,O (as well as the nebular-to-auroral [OII] line ratio…

The problem of determination of the electron temperature t_2 in the OII zone of high-metallicity HII region was examined. It was shown that the ratio of nebular to auroral nitrogen line intensities, which is an indicator of the electron…

We report measurements of the electron temperature at about a dozen locations in the extended emission-line regions of five active (Seyfert and radio) galaxies. Temperatures (T_{[OIII]} and T_{[NII]}) have been determined from both the…

We measure H$_2$ temperatures and column densities across the Orion BN/KL explosive outflow from a set of thirteen near-IR H$_2$ rovibrational emission lines observed with the TripleSpec spectrograph on Apache Point Observatory's 3.5-meter…
