Abstract

AbstractA program of 3-D spectrophotometry of emission nebulae being carried out at the Ohio State University will be described. We have had considerable success combining Fabry-Perot imaging, long-slit spectroscopy, and narrowband filter imaging into a hybrid 3-D spectroscopic approach that we have used to obtain detailed spectrophotometric maps of the density, temperature, extinction, and ionization in HII regions and Planetary Nebulae. The centerpiece instrument of this effort, the OSU Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrograph (IFPS), will be described, and scientific results illustrative of our work will be presented.
