We present H alpha emission line measurements of northern bright HII regions selected from the Sharpless (1959) catalog near the Galactic plane (b <= +/- 6 degrees). A total of 10 HII regions were observed with DEFPOS (Dual Etalon Fabry-Perot Optical Spectrometer) system at the f/48 Coude focus of 150 cm RT1150 telescope located at TUBITAK National Observatory (TUG) in Antalya/Turkey. The intensities, the local standard of rest (LSR) velocities (V-LSR), and the linewidths (Full Width Half Maximum: FWHM) of the H alpha emission line from our observations were in the range of 84 to 745 Rayleigh (R [one Rayleigh (R) is 10(6)/4 pi photons cm(-2) sr(-1) s(-1) = 2.4110(-7) erg cm(-2) sr(-1) s(-1) at H alpha and corresponds to an emission measure (EM = integral n(e)(2)dl) of 2.3 pc cm(-6) for a gas temperature of 8000K, where n(e) is the averaged electron density within an emitting region in the interstellar medium; dl is distance element to the source region (Haffner et al., 2003; Reynolds et al., 2005), 3 to -43 km s(-1) and 30 to 73 km s(-1), respectively. The LSR velocities and the linewidths from the data were obtained and compared with early results. We found that our results are in close agreement with them. Moreover, associated stars of some of the HII regions were updated by analyzing their location, velocities, and brightness. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Reconstructed density and velocity fields from the 2MASS Redshift Survey Erdogdu, Pirin; Lahav, Ofer; Huchra, John P.; Colless, Matthew; Cutri, Roc M.; Falco, Emilio; George, Teddy; Jarrett, Thomas; Jones, D. Heath; Macri, Lucas M.; Mader, Jeff; Martimbeau, Nathalie; Pahre, Michael A.; Parker, Quentin A.; Rassat, Anaid; Saunders, Will (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2006-11-21) W We present the reconstructed real-space density and the predicted velocity fields from the Two-Micron All-Sky Redshift Survey (2MRS). The 2MRS is the densest all-sky redshift survey to date and includes about 23 200 galaxies with extinction-corrected magnitudes brighter than K-s = 11.25. Our method is based on the expansion of these fields in Fourier-Bessel functions. Within this framework, the linear redshift distortions only affect the density field in the radial direction and can easily be deconvolved ...
Upper limits to the SN1006 multi-TeV gamma-ray flux from HESS observations Aharonian, F; et. al. (EDP Sciences, 2005-07-01) Observations of the shell-type supernova remnant SN1006 have been carried out with the HESS system of Cherenkov telescopes during 2003 (18.2 h with two operating telescopes) and 2004 (6.3 h with all four telescopes). No evidence for TeV gamma-ray emission from any compact or extended region associated with the remnant is seen and resulting upper limits at the 99.9% confidence level are up to a factor 10 lower than previously-published fluxes from CANGAROO. For SN1006 at its current epoch of evolution we def...
LOCALIZING INTEGRAL SOURCES WITH CHANDRA: X-RAY AND MULTI-WAVELENGTH IDENTIFICATIONS AND ENERGY SPECTRA Tomsick, John A.; Bodaghee, Arash; Chaty, Sylvain; Rodriguez, Jerome; Rahoui, Farid; Halpern, Jules; KALEMCİ, EMRAH; Arabaci, Mehtap Ozbey (American Astronomical Society, 2012-08-01) We report on Chandra observations of 18 hard X-ray (>20 keV) sources discovered with the INTEGRAL satellite near the Galactic plane. For 14 of the INTEGRAL sources, we have uncovered one or two potential Chandra counterparts per source. These provide soft X-ray (0.3-10 keV) spectra and subarcsecond localizations, which we use to identify counterparts at other wavelengths, providing information about the nature of each source. Despite the fact that all of the sources are within 5 degrees of the plane, four o...
DEFPOS and its first results Sahan, M; Yegingil, I; Aksaker, N; Kiziloglu, U; Akyılmaz, M. Özdemir (IOP Publishing, 2005-04-01) A spectrometer was built to examine the interstellar medium (ISM) using the hydrogen Balmer a line. It is called Dual Etalon Fabry-Perot Optical Spectrometer (DEFPOS). DEFPOS will be coupled to coude exit of the 150 cm telescope (RTT150) installed at TUBITAK National Observatory (TUG). DEFPOS was ready for observations about two years ago, but work was still continuing on the RTT150 coude exit alignment. So we have started observing HII regions with DEFPOS without the RTT150. We present here some characteri...
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" ...
