On the Origin of Broad Fe K alpha and Hi H alpha Lines in AGN
J. W. Sulentic, P. Marziani, T. Zwitter +2
We examine the properties of the Fe emission lines that arise near 6.4 keV in the ASCA spectra of AGN. Our emphasis is on the Seyfert 1 galaxies where broad and apparently complex…
UBVRI photometry and spectroscopy of the young open cluster Haffner 18
Ulisse Munari, Giovanni Carraro, Roberto Barbon
UBVRI CCD photometry of a field centered on the young open cluster Haffner~18 is presented and discussed. Spectroscopic classification of seven s…
Discovery of a Supernova Explosion at Half the Age of the Universe and its Cosmological Implications
S. Perlmutter, G. Aldering, M. Della Valle +20
The ultimate fate of the universe, infinite expansion or a big crunch, can be determined by measuring the redshifts, apparent brightnesses, and intrinsic luminosities of very dista…
Balmer Line Variations in the Radio-Loud AGN PG 1512+370
P. Romano, P. Marziani, D. Dultzin-Hacyan
We present spectroscopic observations of the quasar PG~1512+370, covering the Hbeta line spectral range and collected at moderate resolution (2-7 A FWHM) from 1988 to 1996. The obs…
DY/DZ from fine structure in the Main Sequence based on Hipparcos parallaxes
B. E. J. Pagel, L. Portinari
The slope Delta Y/Delta Z is a quantity of interest in relation to stellar evolution, the initial mass function and the determination of the primordial helium abundance. In this pa…
Multiwavelength Observations of a Dramatic High Energy Flare in the Blazar 3C 279
A. E. Wehrle, E. Pian, C. M. Urry +3
The blazar 3C 279, one of the brightest identified extragalactic objects in the gamma-ray sky, underwent a flare of a factor 10 amplitude in gamma-rays towards the end of a 3-week…
