Lopsided spiral galaxies: evidence for gas accretion
We quantify the degree of lopsidedness for a sample of 149 galaxies observed in the near-infrared from the OSUBGS sample, and try to explain the physical origin of the observed disk lopsidedness. We confirm previous studies, but for a larger sample, that a large fraction of galaxies have significant lopsidedness in their stellar disks, measured as the Fourier amplitude of the m = 1 component no...
متن کاملEvidence for an accretion steam in the low-accretion-rate polar J2048
We present new red/near-infrared spectra of the low-accretion-rate polar J204827.9+005008.9. Compared to 2004 spectra in the literature, our 2008 data show more structured emission-line profiles. All emission lines in our spectra have two components at most orbital phases. The stronger component has a sinusoidal velocity variation (K ∼ 120 km s−1) and is likely due to irradiation of the inner h...
متن کاملCLUSTER EVOLUTION SINCE z ∼ 1
We have used the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the HST to obtain optical imaging of a sample of 8 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.8 < z < 1.3. The ACS data provides accurate photometry and the ACS high angular resolution makes it possible to obtain crucial morphological information of the cluster galaxy populations. These data are supported by X-ray observations and by ground bas...
متن کاملObservational constraints on the physics behind the evolution of active galactic nuclei since z 1
We explore the evolution with redshift of the rest-frame colours and space densities of active galactic nuclei (AGN) hosts (relative to normal galaxies) to shed light on the dominant mechanism that triggers accretion on to supermassive black holes as a function of cosmic time. Data from serendipitous wide-area XMM surveys of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) footprint (XMM/SDSS; Needles in th...
متن کاملLimits on the molecular gas content of z ∼ 5 LBGs
We present limits on the molecular gas content of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z ∼ 5 from observations targeting redshifted CO(1–0) and CO(2–1) line emission. We observed a single field containing eight spectroscopically confirmed z ∼ 5 LBGs, seven of which are contained within a narrow (z = 4.95±0.08) redshift range and the eighth is at z = 5.2. No source was individually detected. Assuming ...
