An upper limit to [ C II ] emission in a z 5 galaxy
Low-ionization-state far-infrared (FIR) emission lines may be useful diagnostics of star formation activity in young galaxies, and at high redshift may be detectable from the ground. In practice, however, very little is known concerning how strong such line emission might be in the early Universe. We attempted to detect the 158-μm [C II] line from a lensed galaxy at z = 4.926 using the Caltech ...
متن کاملA Group–group Merger at a Redshift of Z = 0.84?
We present a dynamical study of the CL0023+0423 system at a redshift of z = 0.84. This system consists of two components separated in velocity space by ∼ 2900 km s−1 and on the plane of the sky by ∼ 0.23 h−1 Mpc. A kinematic analysis indicates that the two components are a poor cluster with a velocity dispersion of 415 −63 km s −1 and a mass of ∼ 3 − 6 × 10 h−1 M⊙ and a less massive group with ...
متن کاملSmm J04135+10277: a Candidate Early–stage “wet–dry” Merger of Two Massive Galaxies at Z=2.8
We report interferometric imaging of CO(J=3→2) emission toward the z=2.846 submillimeterselected galaxy SMMJ04135+10277, using the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA). SMMJ04135+10277 was previously thought to be a gas-rich, submillimeterselected quasar, with the highest molecular gas mass among high-z quasars reported in the literature. Our maps at ∼6× improved lin...
متن کاملAn upper limit to the binocular combination of stimuli.
It is important to know the spatial extent over which the binocular visual system searches for "matches" or image correspondence. Most models of stereopsis define fixed neighbourhoods in one monocular image in which a search is conducted for a match to some element in the other image. We were unable to experimentally determine fixed values for the extent of these neighbourhoods. We were, howeve...
متن کاملAn Upper Limit on the Coalescence Rate of Double Neutron-Star Binaries in the Galaxy
In the context of assessing the detectability of the coalescence of two neutron stars (NS) by currently built gravitational-wave experiments, we present a way of obtaining an upper limit to the coalescence rate in the Galaxy. We consider the NS/NS progenitors just before the second supernova explosion. By combining our theoretical understanding of orbital dynamics at NS formation with methods o...
