Dust Absorption and the Ultraviolet Luminosity Density at z ≈ 3 as Calibrated by Local Starburst Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We refine a technique to measure the absorption-corrected ultraviolet (UV) luminosity of starburst galaxies using rest-frame UV quantities alone and apply it to Lyman-limit U dropouts at z ≈ 3 found in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF).

Starburst Galaxies in Their Last Billion Years: An Hδ Absorption Line Selected Sample

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In this paper, we focus on the study of starburst galaxies in their final billion years. Our galaxy selection is based solely on the presence of the H δ absorption line, which permits the later evolution of starburst galaxies to be traced, coinciding ...

Dense and Warm Molecular Gas and Warm Dust in Nearby Galaxies

open access: yes, 2010
We performed 12CO(1-0), 13CO(1-0), and HCN(1-0) single-dish observations (beam size ~14"-18") toward nearby starburst and non-starburst galaxies using the Nobeyama 45 m telescope.

SO in starburst galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1992
The use of SO and SO2 as probes of the dense interstellar medium in the nearby starburst galaxies NGC 253 and M82 is described. Emission in the 99.3 GHz 3(2) - 2(1) rotational transition of SO was detected in NGC 253 and possibly in M82, and upper limits are reported for emission in the 219.9 GHz 6(5) - 5(4) transition of SO and two lines of SO2.

THE DIFFUSE GAMMA-RAY FLUX ASSOCIATED WITH SUB-PEV/PEV NEUTRINOS FROM STARBURST GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One attractive scenario for the excess of sub-PeV/PeV neutrinos recently reported by IceCube is that they are produced by cosmic rays in starburst galaxies colliding with the dense interstellar medium.

Discovery of GeV emission from the direction of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 2146

open access: yes, 2014
Recent detection of high-energy gamma-ray emission from starburst galaxies M82 and NGC 253 suggests that starburst galaxies are huge reservoirs of cosmic rays and these cosmic rays convert a significant fraction of their energy into gamma-rays by ...

The Schmidt Law at High Molecular Densities

open access: yes, 2005
We have combined Halpha and recent high resolution CO(J=1-0) data to consider the quantitative relation between gas mass and star formation rate, or the so-called Schmidt law in nearby spiral galaxies at regions of high molecular density.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon feature deficit of starburst galaxies in the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole Deep field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study the behaviour of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission in galaxies at z = 0.3–1.4 using 1868 samples from the revised catalogue of AKARI North Ecliptic Pole Deep survey.

First Detection of CO Isotopologues in a High-redshift Main-sequence Galaxy: Evidence of a Top-heavy Stellar Initial Mass Function

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent observations and theories have presented a strong challenge to the universality of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in extreme environments. A notable example has been found for starburst conditions, where evidence favors a top-heavy IMF, i.
