Line profiles in ensuremath {{H}alpha } emission from H II region populations in spiral galaxies show emission features at +/-50 km/s from the main emission peaks of a significant fraction of regions, which are characteristic of expanding shells. We interpret these in two possible scenarios: mass-loaded wind outflows from the central OB stars, or

Photometric and spectroscopic parameters for 191 galaxies in the UCM Survey of emission-line galaxies Lists I and II (Cats. and ). For each galaxy, the table gives: redshift, BrJKs magnitudes and errors inside 3 disk-scale circular apertures (measured in r), Hα equivalent widths and errors, aperture sizes in kpc, Hα/Hβ ratio (corrected for stellar

Shakhbazian compact galaxy groups are the most dense configurations known. A few years ago we commenced a detailed spectral and photometric study of these groups. In this paper we present the investigation results of groups ShCG1, ShCG8, ShCG3, and ShCG82. The redshifts of member galaxies, the results of the BVR photometry, the surface-brightness

Sampling fluctuations in stellar populations give rise to dispersion in observables when a small number of sources contribute effectively to the observables. This is the case for a variety of linear functions of the spectral energy distribution (SED) in small stellar systems, such as galactic and extragalactic HII regions, dwarf galaxies or stellar

GLMP 621 (IRAS 17395-0841) was first identified as a possible new planetary nebula on the basis of its IRAS colors (García-Lario et al. 1997). A few years ago it was confirmed as such through spectroscopic observations where nebular emission lines corresponding to a prototypical low-excitation planetary nebula were detected superimposed on a strong

Using H alpha emission line profiles we detect outflowing ionized gas at velocities of order 50 km/s from representative luminous H II regions in two sample disk galaxies, NGC 3359 and NGC 1530, and calculate the physical parameters of the outflowing material.
