We have completed a robotic wide-angle imaging survey of the southern sky (declination less than +15 degrees) at 656.3 nm wavelength, the H-alpha emission line of hydrogen. Each image of the resulting Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas (SHASSA) covers an area of the sky 13 degrees square at an angular resolution of approximately 0.8 arcminute, and reaches a sensitivity level of 2 rayleigh (1.2 x 10^-17 erg cm^-2 s^-1 arcsec^-2) per pixel, corresponding to an emission measure of 4 cm^-6 pc, and to a brightness temperature for microwave free-free emission of 12 microkelvins at 30 GHz. Smoothing over several pixels allows features as faint as 0.5 rayleigh to be detected.

  1. An Halpha survey of infrared bow-shocks around OB-type stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Fifteen plus one serendipitous clear H-alpha bow shocks are detected among 78 IR candidates; several are consistent with radiation-supported regimes while others match classical wind-supported shocks.

  2. JWST Edge-on Disk Ice (JEDIce): Vibrationally hot, rotationally cold H$_2$ in the outer disk of Oph 163131 non-thermally excited by UV and cosmic rays

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Outer-disk H2 in Oph 163131 is v-hot and J-cold from combined UV and cosmic-ray excitation plus collisions, implying an effective CR ionization rate of order 10^{-15} s^{-1}.

  3. MIGHTEE-HI: Environmental effects of cosmic filaments on extragalactic HI detections in the COSMOS and XMM-LSS fields

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Filaments in the cosmic web measurably change how often galaxies are detected in HI, reducing detections in low-density late-type galaxies and enhancing them in massive early-type galaxies.
