Comparison of dust-to-gas ratios in luminous, ultraluminous, and hyperluminous infrared galaxies

, 2007
The dust-to-gas ratios in three different samples of luminous, ultraluminous, and hyperluminous infrared galaxies are calculated by modelling their radio to soft X-ray spectral energy distributions using composite models which account for the ...

A population of luminous accreting black holes with hidden mergers

, 2018
Major galaxy mergers are thought to play an important part in fuelling the growth of supermassive black holes. However, observational support for this hypothesis is mixed, with some studies showing a correlation between merging galaxies and luminous ...

Formation of Substructure in Luminous Submillimeter Galaxies (FOSSILS): Evidence of Multiple Pathways to Trigger Starbursts in Luminous Submillimeter Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an analysis of rest-frame optical and far-infrared continuum emission in three luminous submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at 3.0 ≲  z  ≲ 4.5.

Unveiling the Progenitors of GRBs through Observations of their Host Galaxies

, 2002
I discuss the possibility of differentiating between popular models for gamma-ray bursts by using multiwavelength observations to constrain the characteristics of their host galaxies, in particular the age of the stellar populations.Comment: 3 pages ...

$^{13}CO(J = 1 -- 0)$ Depression in Luminous Starburst Mergers

, 1998
It is known that the class of luminous starburst galaxies tends to have higher $R =^{12}CO(J=1--0)/^{13}CO(J=1--0)$ integrated line intensity ratios ($R>20$) than normal spiral galaxies ($R \sim 10$). Since most previous studies investigated only $R$, it

Quantification of the Age Dependence of Mid-infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators

The Astrophysical Journal
We combine James Webb Space Telescope images of the nearby galaxy NGC 5194 in the hydrogen recombination line Pa α (1.8756 μ m) from the Cycle 1 program JWST-FEAST with 21 μ m dust continuum images from the Cycle 2 Treasury program JWGT to quantify the ...

The essential signature of a massive starburst in a distant galaxy

, 2003
Observations of carbon monoxide (CO) emission in high redshift (z>2) galaxies indicate the presence of large amounts of molecular gas. Many of these galaxies contain an active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered by accretion of gas onto a supermassive black ...

The Evolution of the Size and Merger Fraction of Submillimeter Galaxies across 1 < z ≲ 6 as Observed by JWST

The Astrophysical Journal
Precise tracking of the growth in galaxy size and the evolution of merger fractions with redshift is vital for understanding the formation history of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). This study investigates this evolution over a broad redshift range (1

CO excitation in four IR luminous galaxies [PDF]

The correlation between the CO and far infrared luminosities of spiral galaxies is well established. The luminosity ration, L sub FIR/L sub CO in IR luminous active galaxies is, however, systematically five to ten times higher than in ordinary spirals ...
