Galaxy emission line classification using 3D line ratio diagrams
Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Michael A. Dopita, Lisa J. Kewley +5
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…
Probing the physics of narrow-line regions of Seyfert galaxies I: The case of NGC 5427
Michael A. Dopita, Julia Scharwaechter, Prajval Shastri +10
We have used the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring to observe the nearby, nearly face-on, Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 5427. We have obtained inte…
Metal-poor dwarf galaxies in the SIGRID galaxy sample. I. HII region observations and chemical abundances
David C. Nicholls, Michael A. Dopita, Ralph S. Sutherland +3
In this paper we present the results of observations of seventeen HII regions in thirteen galaxies from the SIGRID sample of isolated gas rich irregular dwarf galaxies. The spectra…
