Spaxel Analysis: Probing the Physics of Star Formation in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Michael A. Dopita, Jeffrey Rich, Frédéric P. A. Vogt +5
This paper presents a detailed spectral pixel (spaxel) analysis of the ten Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) previously observed with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS), an integ…
PyWiFeS: A Rapid Data Reduction Pipeline for the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS)
Michael J. Childress, Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Jon Nielsen +1
We present PyWiFeS, a new Python-based data reduction pipeline for the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS). PyWiFeS consists of a series of core data processing routines built on stand…
New Strong Line Abundance Diagnostics for \HII Regions: Effects of -Distributed Electron Energies and New Atomic Data
Michael A. Dopita, Ralph S. Sutherland, David C. Nicholls +2
Recently, \citet{Nicholls12}, inspired by \emph{in situ} observations of solar system astrophysical plasmas, suggested that the electrons in \HII regions are characterised by a …
Augmented Reality in Astrophysics
Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Luke J. Shingles
Augmented Reality consists of merging live images with virtual layers of information. The rapid growth in the popularity of smartphones and tablets over recent years has provided a…
Galaxy Interactions in Compact Groups I : The Galactic Winds of HCG16
Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Michael A. Dopita, Lisa J. Kewley
Using the WiFeS integral field spectrograph, we have undertaken a series of observations of star-forming galaxies in Compact Groups. In this first paper dedicated to the project, w…
Spectroscopic Observations of SN 2012fr: A Luminous Normal Type Ia Supernova with Early High Velocity Features and Late Velocity Plateau
M. J. Childress, R. A. Scalzo, S. A. Sim +55
We present 65 optical spectra of the Type Ia supernova SN 2012fr, of which 33 were obtained before maximum light. At early times SN 2012fr shows clear evidence of a high-velocity f…
