We report the results of a Submillimeter Array (SMA) interferometric observation of 21-micron source IRAS 07134+1005 in the CO J=3-2 line. In order to determine the morpho-kinematic properties of the molecular envelope of the object, we constructed a model using the Shape software to model the observed CO map. We find that the molecular gas component of the envelopes can be interpreted as a geometrically thick expanding torus with an expanding velocity of 8 km/s. The inner and outer radii of the torus determined by fitting Shape models are 1.2 and 3.0, respectively. The inner radius is consistent with the previous values determined by radiative transfer modeling of the spectral energy distribution and mid-infrared imaging of the dust component. The radii and expansion velocity of the torus suggest that the central star has left the asymptotic giant branch about 1140-1710 years ago, and that the duration of the equatorial enhanced mass loss is about 2560-3130 years. From the absence of an observed jet, we suggest that the formation of a bipolar outflow may lack behind in time from the creation of the equatorial torus.

We report the results of radio interferometric observations of the 21-micron source IRAS 22272+5435 in the CO J=2-1 line. 21-micron sources are carbon-rich objects in the post-AGB phase of evolution which show an unidentified emission feature at 21 m
icron. Since 21-micron sources usually also have circumstellar molecular envelopes, the mapping of CO emission from the envelope will be useful in tracing the nebular structure. From observations made with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA), we find that a torus and spherical wind model can explain only part of the CO structure. An additional axisymmetric region created by the interaction between an invisible jet and ambient material is suggested.
The majority of planetary nebulae (PNe) show axisymmetric morphologies, whose causes are not well understood. In this work, we present spatially resolved kinematic observations of 14 Galactic PNe surrounding Wolf-Rayet ([WR]) and weak emission-line s
tars ($wels$) based on the H$alpha$ and [N II] emission taken with the Wide Field Spectrograph on the ANU 2.3-m telescope. Velocity-resolved channel maps and position--velocity diagrams, together with archival Hubble Space Telescope ($HST$) and ground-based images, are employed to construct three-dimensional morpho-kinematic models of 12 objects using the program SHAPE. Our results indicate that these 12 PNe have elliptical morphologies with either open or closed outer ends. Kinematic maps also illustrate on-sky orientations of elliptically symmetric morphologies of the interior shells in NGC 6578 and NGC 6629, and the compact ($leq 6$ arcsec) PNe Pe1-1, M3-15, M1-25, Hen2-142, and NGC 6567, in agreement with the high-resolution $HST$ images containing morphological details. Point-symmetric knots in Hb4 exhibit deceleration with distance from the nebular center that could be due to shock collisions with the ambient medium. Velocity dispersion maps of Pe1-1 disclose point-symmetric knots similar to those in Hb4. Collimated outflows are also visible in the position--velocity diagrams of M3-30, M1-32, M3-15, and K2-16, which are reconstructed by tenuous prolate ellipsoids extending upwardly from thick toroidal shells in our models.
We study a sample of 28 S0 galaxies extracted from the integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) survey CALIFA. We combine an accurate two-dimensional (2D) multi-component photometric decomposition with the IFS kinematic properties of their bulges to unders
tand their formation scenario. Our final sample is representative of S0s with high stellar masses ($M_{star}/M_{sun} > 10^{10}$). They lay mainly on the red sequence and live in relatively isolated environments similar to that of the field and loose groups. We use our 2D photometric decomposition to define the size and photometric properties of the bulges, as well as their location within the galaxies. We perform mock spectroscopic simulations mimicking our observed galaxies to quantify the impact of the underlying disc on our bulge kinematic measurements ($lambda$ and $v/sigma$). We compare our bulge corrected kinematic measurements with the results from Schwarzschild dynamical modelling. The good agreement confirms the robustness of our results and allows us to use bulge reprojected values of $lambda$ and $v/sigma$. We find that the photometric ($n$ and $B/T$) and kinematic ($v/sigma$ and $lambda$) properties of our field S0 bulges are not correlated. We demonstrate that this morpho-kinematic decoupling is intrinsic to the bulges and it is not due to projection effects. We conclude that photometric diagnostics to separate different types of bulges (disc-like vs classical) might not be useful for S0 galaxies. The morpho-kinematics properties of S0 bulges derived in this paper suggest that they are mainly formed by dissipation processes happening at high redshift, but dedicated high-resolution simulations are necessary to better identify their origin.
At intermediate redshifts, many galaxies seem to be perturbed or suffering from an interaction. Considering that disk galaxies may have formed and evolved through minor mergers or through major mergers, it is important to understand the mechanisms at
play during each type of merger in order to be able to establish the outcome of such an event. In some cases, only the use of both morphological and kinematical information can disentangle the actual configuration of an encounter at intermediate redshift. In this work, we present the morphological and kinematical analysis of a system at z=0.74 in order to understand its configuration, interacting stage and evolution. Using the integral field spectrograph GIRAFFE, long-slit spectroscopy by FORS2 and direct optical images from the HST-ACS and ISAAC near-infrared images, we disentangle the morphology of this system, its star-formation history and its extended kinematics in order to propose a possible configuration for the system. Numerical simulations are used to test different interacting scenarii. We identify this system as a face-on disk galaxy with a very bright bar in interaction with a smaller companion with a mass ratio of 3:1. The relevance of kinematical information and the constraints it imposes on the interpretation of the observations of distant galaxies is particularly strengthened in this case. This object is amongst the best example on how one may misinterpret morphology in the absence of kinematical information.
The IRAS source, 19312+1950, exhibits SiO maser emission, which is predominantly detected in evolved stars enshrouded by a cold molecular envelope. In fact, the mojority of the observational properties of IRAS 19312+1950 is consistent with the nature
of an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star or post-AGB star. Interestingly, however, some of the observational properties cannot be readily explained within the standard scheme of stellar evolution, and those are rather reminiscent of young stellar objects. In the present research we considered the evolutionary status of IRAS 19312+1950 as revealed by the VLBI and MERLIN observations in SiO, H2O and OH maser lines. The double-peaked profile of the 22 GHz H2O maser line is clearly detected, with the emission regions of its red and blue-shifted components separately located, leaving a space of about 10.9 mas between them. The kinematic properties of H2O maser emission region appear to be more consistent with a bipolar flow rather than other interpretations such as the Keplerian rotation of a disk. The red-shifted component of the SiO maser emission, which exhibits a double-peak profile in previous single-dish observations, is clearly detected in the present interferometry, while the 1612 MHz OH maser line exhibits a complicated line profile consisting of a single strong peak and many weak, high-velocity spikes. The structure of OH maser emission region is partially resolved, and the kinematic properties of the OH maser emission region are reminiscent observations of a spherically expanding shell, even though the evidence is scant. Collectively, the maser observations described here provide additional support for the evolved star hypothesis for IRAS 19312+1950.
