Cosmic helium abundance was studied through the interior structure of young stars, profiles of helium absorption lines in the photospheric spectra of hot young stars, and emission-line spectrum of ionized gas. It is concluded that helium occurred before galaxies were formed. Inconsistencies found in the quasar spectra are briefly mentioned.
The engineering development of the SEC vidicon as an astronomical sensor has continued in parallel with its operational use. One scientific application was the six hour exposure of the quasar PHL-957 at the Coude spectrograph of the 200-inch Hale telescope. The developmental effort includes both the enhancement of the basic attributes that make the SEC an appropriate sensor, namely, high quantum efficiency, low threshold, and long integration; as well as work to broaden its scientific usefulness, such as the development of a MgF2 photocathode window for vacuum ultraviolet sensitivity, and a permanent magnet focus design for thermal compatibility with proposed large space telescopes. Additional details on the characteristics of the SEC tube are discussed, as well as plans to make a larger and higher resolution version.
On the basis of their optical spectra, compact objects are divided into three classes: (1) nonthermal objects including Seyfert nuclei, most N-type radio galaxies, and luminous Zwicky objects; (2) hot massive stars, and (3) stellar objects including some compact galaxies having only absorption line spectra. A variety of morphological forms exist among class (1) and (2) objects. Emission line spectra of quasars are reviewed and related to the physical conditions in the emitting regions.
