Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies: Mergers of Sub‐L* Galaxies? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2001
A sample of 27 low-redshift, mostly cool, ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) has been imaged at 1.6 μm with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). The majority (67%) of the sample's galaxies are multiple-nucleus galaxies with projected separations of up to 17 kpc, and the rest of the sample ...

Star Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
We examine the past and current work on the star formation (SF) histories of dwarf galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The results obtained from different numerical methods are still somewhat mixed, but the differences are understandable if we consider the numerical and resolution effects.

Does the HCN/CO Ratio Trace the Star-forming Fraction of Gas? I. A Comparison with Analytical Models of Star Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We use archival ALMA observations of the HCN and CO J = 1–0 transitions, in addition to the radio continuum at 93 GHz, to assess the relation between dense gas, star formation, and gas dynamics in 10 nearby (ultra)luminous IR galaxies (U)LIRGs and late ...

Anti-correlation between the mass of a supermassive black hole and the mass accretion rate in type I ultraluminous infrared galaxies and nearby QSOs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We discovered a significant anti-correlation between the mass of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), $M_{\rm BH}$, and the luminosity ratio of infrared to active galactic nuclei (AGN) Eddington luminosity, $L_{\rm IR}/L_{\rm Edd}$, over four orders of ...

Hidden Giants in JWST's PEARLS: An Ultramassive z = 4.26 Submillimeter Galaxy that Is Invisible to HST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a multiwavelength analysis using the Submillimeter Array (SMA), James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, NOEMA, JWST, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and the Spitzer Space Telescope of two dusty strongly star-forming galaxies, 850.1 and 850.2, seen ...

Evidence for a Molecular Cloud Origin for Gamma-Ray Bursts: Implications for the Nature of Star Formation in the Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
It appears that the majority of rapidly-, well-localized gamma-ray bursts with undetected, or dark, optical afterglows, or `dark bursts' for short, occur in clouds of size R > 10L_{49}^{1/2} pc and mass M > 3x10^5L_{49} M_{sun}, where L is the isotropic ...

ISO Spectroscopy of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 1999
Spectroscopy from the Infrared Space Observatory ISO has for the first timeprovided the sensitivity to exploit the diagnostic power ofmid-infrared fine structure lines and PAH features for the study ofultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIR >1012 L ⊙). We report on observations obtainedwith SWS, ISOPHOT-S, and the CVF option of ISOCAM.

The Nature of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) has for the first time made possible mid- and far-infrared spectroscopic studies of nearby and moderate redshift, dusty ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). We discuss recent SWS, LWS, ISOPHOT-S and ISOCAM (CVF) results on ULIRGs, addressing the following topics: What powers ULIRGs?

Dense Molecular Gas Properties of the Central Kiloparsec of Nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies Constrained by ALMA Three Transition-line Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report the results of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1–2 kpc resolution, three rotational transition-line ( J = 2–1, J = 3–2, and J = 4–3) observations of multiple dense molecular gas tracers (HCN, HCO ^+ , and HNC) for 10 nearby (
