光学波段

  • [OII] doublet (3737A)
  • [OIII] (4959A and 5007A)
  • Balmer series (6563A, 4861A, 4340A, 4103A, ...).
  • [NII]6583A
  • [CII] 158$\mu$m fine-structure line
trace regions of active star formation and is the main coolant of the cold, neutral atomic medium.[1]
  • 发射线的线比可以区分不同的电离机制,金属丰度 BPT diagram,详细的工作可参见[2]

The new [OIV]25.9μm/[OIII]88μm vs [NeIII]15.6μm/[NeII]12.8μm diagram is proposed as the best diagnostic to separate: i) AGN activity from any kind of star formation; and ii) low-metallicity dwarf galaxies from starburst galaxies.
the ([NeIII]15.6μm + [NeII]12.8μm)/([SIV]10.5μm + [SIII]18.7μm) ratio is proposed as a promising metallicity tracer to be used in obscured objects, where optical lines fail to accurately measure the metallicity.
