We present long slit spectrophotometric emission line fluxes of bright and extended (<5 arcsec in diameter) planetary nebulae (PNe), selected from a catalogue with suitable equatorial coordinates for northern hemisphere. In total, 17 planetary nebulae have been chosen and observed in 2008-2010. To measure absolute fluxes, broad slit sizes, ranging from 3.5 to 7.5 arcsec were used and thus equivalent widths (EW) of all observable emission line fluxes were also calculated. Among 17 planetary nebulae observed, line flux measurements of 12 of them were made for the first time. This work also aims to extend the sky coverage of emission line flux standards in northern hemisphere (52 planetary nebulae in southern hemisphere; 6 planetary nebulae in northern hemisphere). Electron temperatures and densities, and chemical abundances of these planetary nebulae were also calculated in this work. These data are expected to lead the photometric or spectrometric further work for absolute emission line flux measurements needed for H II regions, supernova remnants etc.

Emission Lines of Northern Planetary Nebulae AKSAKER, NAZIM; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Kiziloglu, Umit; Atalay, Betul (2016-10-14) In this work, we present results of long slit spectrophotometric emission line flux observations of selected planetary nebulae (PNe). We have measured absolute fluxes and equivalent widths (EW) of all observable emission lines. In addition to these observations, electron temperatures (Te), densities (Ne), and chemical abundances were also calculated. The main purpose of this work is to fill the gaps in emission line flux standards for the northern hemisphere. It is expected that the measured fluxes would be...
Orbital and spin phase-resolved spectroscopy of the intermediate polar EX Hya using XMM-Newton data Pekon, Y.; Balman, Şölen (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-02-01) We present the orbital phase-resolved spectra of an intermediate polar, EX Hya, together with the spin phase-resolved spectra during two different epochs using the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton), European Photon Imaging Camera (pn instrument). We find that the source at the two epochs has the same X-ray luminosity of similar to 6.5 x 1031 erg s-1. We detect spectral variations between the 2000 and 2003 observations of the source. We fitted the spectrum using a neutral hydrogen absorption model with...
Observations of the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130 with the Whipple Observatory 10 m telescope Konopelko, A.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2007-04-01) We report on observations of the sky region around the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source (TeV J2032+ 4130) carried out with the Whipple Observatory 10 m atmospheric Cerenkov telescope for a total of 65.5 hr between 2003 and 2005. The standard two-dimensional analysis developed by the Whipple collaboration for a stand-alone telescope reveals an excess in the field of view at a pretrial significance level of 6.1 sigma. The measured position of this excess is alpha = 20(h)32(m)27(s), delta = 41 degrees 39'17" ...
X-RAY SPECTRAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF A ULX IN NGC 4258 (M106) Avdan, H.; Avdan, S.; AKYÜZ, AYSUN; Balman, Şölen; AKSAKER, NAZIM; AKKAYA ORALHAN, Inci (American Astronomical Society, 2016-09-10) We study the X-ray and optical properties of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) X-6 in the nearby galaxy NGC 4258 (M106) based on the archival XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift, and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. The source has a peak luminosity of L-X similar to 2 x 10(39) erg s(-1) in the XMM-Newton observation of 2004 June. Consideration of the hardness ratios and the spectral model parameters shows that the source seems to exhibit possible spectral variations throughout the X-ray observations. In...
Global Site Selection for Astronomy AKSAKER, NAZIM; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Erdogan, M. A.; Kurt, Z.; Kaba, K.; Bayazit, M.; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-03-01) A global site selection for astronomy was performed with 1 km spatial resolution (similar to 1 gigapixel in size) using long-term and up-to-date datasets to classify the entire terrestrial surface of the Earth. Satellite instruments are used to get the following datasets of geographical information system (GIS) layers: cloud coverage, digital elevation model, artificial light, precipitable water vapour, aerosol optical depth, wind speed, and land use and land cover. A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)...
