Extraplanar Dust: a Tracer of Cold Dense Gas in the Thick Disks of Spiral Galaxies
The interstellar thick disks of galaxies contain not only gas, but significant quantities of dust. Most of our knowledge of extraplanar dust in disk galaxies comes from direct broadband optical imaging of these systems, wherein the dust is identified due to the irregular extinction it produces against the thick disk and bulge stars. This observational technique is sensitive to only the most den...
متن کاملHCN versus HCO as dense molecular gas mass tracer in Luminous Infrared Galaxies
It has been recently argued that the HCN J=1–0 line emission may not be an unbiased tracer of dense molecular gas (n & 10 cm) in Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs: LFIR > 10 11 L⊙) and HCO + J=1–0 may constitute a better tracer instead (Graciá-Carpio et al. 2006), casting doubt into earlier claims supporting the former as a good tracer of such gas (Gao & Solomon 2004; Wu et al. 2006). In this p...
متن کاملRadio-Continuum Emission in Polar-Ring Galaxies
We have used the Very Large Array aperture synthesis telescope to conduct a radio continuum survey of polar-ring galaxies, at 20 cm and 6 cm. Forty objects were observed at 20 cm with ≃ 5 resolution. Twenty (50%) of the program sources were detected at 20 cm, down to our 5-σ limit of 0.5 mJy beam−1. This detection rate is similar to those in surveys with comparable sensitivity for early-type ga...
متن کاملDust in elliptical galaxies: a new dust mass evaluation
In order to investigate the nature and origin of dust in elliptical galaxies, a method for the dust mass evaluation, which accounts for the dust temperature distribution, is here presented and discussed. The derived dust masses turn out to be a factor 2-6 larger than those obtained with the single temperature approximation. A correlation between the far-infrared and the blue luminosity has been...
متن کاملDust emission model of Lyman-break galaxies
Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) contain a non-negligible amount of dust. Takeuchi et al. (2003a) (T03) constructed a model of the infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) for very young galaxies by taking into account the dust size distribution in the early stage of galaxy evolution, which can be different from that of present-day evolved galaxies. We applied T03 model to LBGs and constructed th...
