Formaldehyde Densitometry of Starburst Galaxies
With a goal toward deriving the physical conditions in external galaxies, we present a survey of the formaldehyde emission in a sample of starburst systems. By extending a technique used to derive the spatial density in star formation regions in our own Galaxy, we show how the relative intensity of the 110 − 111 and 211 − 212 K-doublet transitions of H2CO can provide an accurate densitometer fo...
متن کاملStarburst Galaxies in Clusters
The nature of the starburst phenomenon in galaxies is investigated using a narrow band color system designed to study color evolution in distant clusters. Work on zero redshift, luminous far-IR galaxies, calibrated by starburst models, demonstrates the usefulness of this color system in isolating starburst from normal star-forming colors, and also demonstrates a strong correlation with far-IR c...
متن کاملstarburst Galaxies: NGC3310 and NGC3690
We present ROSAT (HRI and PSPC) and ASCA observations of the two luminous (Lx ∼ 10 41−42 erg s) star-forming galaxies NGC3310 and NGC3690. The HRI shows clearly that the sources are extended with the X-ray emission in NGC3690 coming from at least three regions. The combined 0.1-10 keV spectrum of NGC3310 can be described by two components, a Raymond-Smith plasma with temperature kT = 0.81 −0.12...
متن کاملPhotometric Redshifts Of Starburst Galaxies
Although starburst galaxies have relatively flat spectral energy distributions, their strong optical emission lines and near-UV continua make it very feasible to estimate their redshifts photometrically. In this work, I describe a photometric technique that simultaneously (1) identifies galaxies by star formation rate and (2) measures their redshifts with an accuracy of σz = 0.05 for objects at...
متن کاملThe History of Starburst Galaxies
Dusty galaxies with luminosities in excess of 10 L⊙ have been detected out to redshifts z ∼ 1 by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), and to higher redshifts using millimetre(mm)and submm-wave cameras on ground-based telescopes. The integrated properties of these more distant galaxies are also constrained by measurements of the intensity of the submm-wave background radiation. While it is gene...
