A study of the neglected Galactic H II region NGC 2579 and its companion ESO 370-9

Abstract: Context. The Galactic H ii region NGC 2579 has stayed undeservedly unexplored due to identification problems which persisted until recently. Both NGC 2579 and its companion ESO 370-9 have been misclassified as planetary or reflection nebula, confused with each other and with other objects. Due to its high surface brightness, high excitation, angular size of few arcminutes and relatively low interstellar extinction, NGC 2579 is an ideal object for investigations in the optical range. Located in the outer Galaxy… Show more

“…Even the nature of some of these emission nebulae remain unclear or unconfirmed. Some of these objects have even been reclassified (Frew et al 2006;Copetti et al 2007;Stupar et al 2008), but there are several objects with unverified, uncertain or even with no distance determination or classification. In this paper, we present a study of stars in nine southern Galactic H ii regions with discrepant or unknown distance estimates.…”

Columns 1 and 2 are the Galactic longitude and latitude; Column 3 to 6 list velocity, the luminosity of CO emission line (in unit of 10 3 K km s −1 pc 2 ), distance and mass of molecular cloud, which were all taken from the reference given in Column 8; Column 7 is the note for distance ambiguity given in this reference, used as the same convention as in Table A1; Columns 9 and 10 list the distances to the Sun and to the Galactic center, which are estimated by the velocity and the rotation curve with R 0 = 8.5 kpc and Θ 0 = 220 km s −1 when the stellar distance is unavailable; Column 11 gives the mass of molecular clouds re-scaled by the newly estimated distance; Columns 12, 13 and 14 are the same as Columns 9-11 but with R 0 = 8.0 kpc and Θ 0 = 220 km s…”
