We here report the detection of extended HeII4686 nebular emission in the central region of NGC1569 using the integral field spectrograph MEGARA at the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias. The observations cover a Field of View (FoV) of 12.5 arcsec x 11.3 arcsec at seeing-limited spatial resolution of ~15 pc and at a spectral resolution of R=6000 in the wavelength range 4330--5200 Angstrom. The emission extends over a semi-circular arc of ~40 pc width and ~150 pc diameter around the super star cluster A (SSC-A). The Av derived using Balmer decrement varies from the Galactic value of 1.6 mag to a maximum of ~4.5 mag, with a mean value of 2.65+/-0.60 mag. We infer 124+/-11 Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in SSC-A using the HeII4686 broad feature and Av=2.3 mag. The He+ ionizing photon rate from these WR stars is sufficient to explain the luminosity of the HeII4686 nebula. The observationally-determined total He+ and H0 ionizing photon rates, their ratio, and the observed number of WR stars in SSC-A are all consistent with the predictions of simple stellar population models at an age of 4.0+/-0.5 Myr, and mass of (5.5+/-0.5)x10^5 Msun. Our observations reinforce the absence of WR stars in SSC-B, the second most massive cluster in the FoV. None of the other locations in our FoV where HeII4686 emission has been reported from narrow-band imaging observations contain WR stars.

星系团通过与其他星系团的合并而成长,产生Mpc宽的冲击波,以1000-2500 km/s的速度穿过星系团内的介质。为了研究并合激波对星系团性质的影响,我们首次观测了位于低红移(z~0.2)、大质量(~2 $\times10^{15}$ M $_\odot$)、后核通道并合星系团CIZA J2242.8+5301(绰号"香肠“)激波锋面尾流中的5 H $α$发射星系的空间分辨光谱.我们的Gemini/GMOS-N积分场单元(IFU)观测,旨在捕捉H $α$和[NII]发射,揭示了星云气体分布,运动学和金属在星系超过16 kpc尺度。虽然星系显示出旋转支持的证据,但通量和速度图具有复杂的特征,如与星系团合并轴对齐的尾巴和气体流出。由于梯度与由内而外的星系盘生长不相容,金属丰度图与整个星系盘内外的持续恒星形成(SF)是一致的。结合以前的结果,这些试点观测提供了进一步的证据,集群合并和SF触发集群星系之间可能存在联系,这是一个潜在的基本发现,揭示了星系与环境的相互作用。
