ALMA 0.5 kpc Resolution Spatially Resolved Investigations of Nuclear Dense Molecular Gas Properties in Nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies Based on HCN and HCO+ Three Transition Line Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the results of our ALMA ≲0.5 kpc resolution dense molecular line (HCN and HCO ^+ J = 2–1, J = 3–2, and J = 4–3) observations of 12 nearby (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies ([U]LIRGs). After matching beam sizes of all molecular line data to the

A Practical Guide to the Massive Black Hole Cosmic History

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
I review our current understanding of massive black hole (MBH) formation and evolution along the cosmic history. After a brief introductory overview of the relevance of MBHs in the hierarchical structure formation paradigm, I discuss the main viable channels for seed BH formation at high redshift and for their subsequent mass growth and spin evolution.

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.

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.

Hard X-Ray to Radio Multiwavelength SED Analysis of Local U/LIRGs in the GOALS Sample with a Self-consistent AGN Model including a Polar-dust Component

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We conduct hard X-ray to radio multiwavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) decomposition for 57 local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies observed with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array and/or Swift/Burst Alert Telescope in the ...

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 ...

J0107a: A Barred Spiral Dusty Star-forming Galaxy at z = 2.467

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) are among the most massive and active star-forming galaxies during the cosmic noon. Theoretical studies have proposed various formation mechanisms of DSFGs, including major merger-driven starbursts and secular star ...

CO Survey of High-z Radio Galaxies, Revisited with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array: Jet–Cloud Alignments and Synchrotron Brightening by Molecular Gas in the Circumgalactic Environment

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Powerful radio sources associated with supermassive black holes are among the most luminous objects in the universe, and are frequently recognized both as cosmological probes and active constituents in the evolution of galaxies.

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?
