AGN and starburst radio activity in the A 3558 cluster complex
In this paper we present Very Large Array (VLA) 1.4 GHz (21 cm) observations of the region between the centres of A3558 and A3562, in the major cluster merger complex of the Shapley Concentration. Our final catalogue includes a total of 174 radio sources above the flux density limit of 0.25 mJy b −1. By cross-correlation with optical and spectroscopic catalogues we found 33 optical counterparts...
متن کاملAGN and Starburst Galaxies Seen through Radio Surveys
The emergence of a new population of radio galaxies at mJy and sub-mJy levels is responsible for the change in the slope of the radio source counts. This population seems to include both star forming galaxies and classical (AGN-powered) radio sources, but the relative importance of the two classes is still debated. We present results from the ATESP radio survey and its optical follow-up and sho...
متن کاملTimescales of merger , starburst and AGN activity in radio galaxy B 2 0648 + 27
In this paper we use neutral hydrogen (H I) and optical spectroscopic observations to compare the timescales of a merger event, starburst episode and radio-AGN activity in the radio galaxy B2 0648+27. We detect a large ring-like structure of H I in emission around the early-type host galaxy of B2 0648+27 (M H I = 8.5 × 10 9 M ⊙ , diameter = 190 kpc). We interpret this as the result of a major m...
متن کاملThe starburst - AGN disconnection
Optical studies of starbursts, AGN and their connections usually leave out galaxies whose emission lines are too weak to warrant reliable measurement and classification. Yet, weak line galaxies abound, and deserve a closer look. We show that these galaxies are either massive, metal rich star-forming systems, or, more often, LINERs. From our detailed stellar population analysis, we find that the...
متن کاملThe Starburst-AGN Connection
The issue of a starburst-AGN connection in local and distant galaxies is relevant for understanding galaxy formation and evolution, the star formation and metal enrichment history of the universe, the origin of the extragalactic background at low and high energies, and the origin of nuclear activity in galaxies. Here I review some of the observational evidence recently brought forward in favor ...
