Extragalactic chemistry of molecular gas: lessons from the local universe.
Observational constraints provided by high resolution and high sensitivity observations of external galaxies made in the millimetre and sub-millimetre range have started to put on a firm footing the study of the extragalactic chemistry of molecular gas. In particular, the availability of multi-species and multi-line surveys of nearby galaxies is central to the interpretation of existent and for...
متن کاملMolecular Gas in M82: Resolving the Outflow and Streamers
We present a high–resolution (3.6, 70 pc) CO(J = 1 → 0) mosaic of the molecular gas in M82 covering an area of 2.5×3.5 (2.8 kpc×3.9 kpc) obtained with the OVRO millimeter interferometer. The observations reveal the presence of huge amounts of molecular gas (> 70% of the total molecular mass, Mtot ≈ 1.3 × 10 M⊙) outside the central 1 kpc disk. Molecular streamers are detected in and below M82’s ...
متن کاملX-ray Emission from Extragalactic Jets
This review focuses on the X-ray emission processes of extra-galactic jets on scales resolvable by the sub arcsec resolution of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. It is divided into 4 parts. The introductory chapter reviews the classical problems for jets, as well as those associated directly with the X-ray emission. Throughout this section, we deal with the dualisms of low powered radio sources ve...
متن کاملPaschen beta emission as a tracer of outflow activity from T-Tauri stars, as compared to Optical Forbidden Emission
The Paschen beta (1.2822 μm) emission line found in the near-infrared spectra of T-Tauri stars (TTSs) is believed to trace the accretion of material onto the central star. We present spectroscopic data which suggests that this may not always be the case. The technique of spectro-astrometry is used by us to measure positional displacements in the Paβ emission from four T-Tauri stars, namely DG T...
متن کاملFormaldehyde emission from low mass protostars
We present a survey of the formaldehyde emission in nine class 0 protostars obtained with the IRAM 30m and the JCMT millimeter telescopes. Using a detailed radiative transfer code of the envelopes surrounding the protostars, we show that all but one of the observed objects show an inner warm evaporation region where the formaldehyde is much more abundant (up to three orders of magnitude) than i...
