Multi-line modelling in nearby galaxies: The link between dense gas and star formation in different environments [PDF]
The J=1–0 lines of HCN and HCO+ have become the default tracers of dense molecular gas in external galaxies. To study the relation between HCN and HCO+ emission and density, we have mapped their J=3–2 lines with the ALMA Compact Array (ACA) in the nearby

Starbursts in Isolated Galaxies? [PDF]
I investigated the evolution of star forming dwarf galaxies by means of a one-zone model extended for dynamical evolution. This allows for a coupling between the dynamical state of the galaxy and its internal properties like star formation activity or the thermal state of the interstellar medium (ISM). The presented work focusses on the star formation (

Integrated field spectroscopy of E+A (post-starburst) galaxies with the Kyoto3DII [PDF]
We have performed a two-dimensional spectroscopy of three nearby E+A (post-starburst) galaxies with the Kyoto3DII integral field spectrograph. In all the cases, Hdelta absorption is stronger at the centre of the galaxies, but significantly extended in a ...

Large turbulent reservoirs of cold molecular gas around high-redshift starburst galaxies [PDF]
Starburst galaxies at the peak of cosmic star formation are among the most extreme star-forming engines in the Universe, producing stars over about 100 million years (ref. 2).

Low-luminosity AGN and Normal Galaxies [PDF]
Low-luminosity AGN (with X-ray luminosity < 1e42 ergs/s) far outnumber ordinary AGN, and are therefore perhaps more relevant to our understanding of AGN phenomena and the relationship between AGN and host galaxies.

The evolution of post-starburst galaxies from z=2 to 0.5 [PDF]
We present the evolution in the number density and stellar mass functions of photometrically selected post-starburst galaxies in the UKIDSSUltraDeep Survey,with redshifts of 0.5 10.

An Extremely Compact, Low-mass Galaxy on its Way to Quiescence at z = 5.2
We report the discovery of a low-mass z = 5.200 ± 0.002 galaxy that is in the process of ceasing its star formation. The galaxy, MACS0417-z5BBG, is multiply imaged with magnification factors ∼40 by the galaxy cluster MACS J0417.5-1154, observed as part ...

Sensitivity of the combined fit of energy spectrum, shower depth distributions, and arrival directions at the Pierre Auger Observatory [PDF]
The Pierre Auger Observatory measures several characteristics of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), most importantly the energy spectrum, the distribution of maximum shower depths and the arrival directions.

DIRECT DETECTION OF LYMAN CONTINUUM ESCAPE FROM LOCAL STARBURST GALAXIES WITH THE COSMIC ORIGINS SPECTROGRAPH [PDF]
We report on the detection of Lyman continuum radiation in two nearby starburst galaxies. Tol 0440-381, Tol 1247-232, and Mrk 54 were observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope.

Starburst Nuclei and Cosmic-Rays Transport Mechanisms: Future Opportunities for Neutrino Astronomy and Beyond Standard Model Studies [PDF]
Experimental observations have demonstrated a strong correlation between star-forming processes and gamma-ray luminosities, giving strong hints about the nature of the Cosmic-Rays (CRs) transport mechanisms inside Starburst Nuclei.
