Cold dust in the starburst galaxy M 82
The starburst galaxy M82 has been mapped at λ1.2 mm using the IRAM 30–m telescope and the MPIfR 19–channel bolometer. The influence of the sidelobe pattern and the CO(2−1) line has been carefully analyzed. Based on this analysis, we conclude that the cold dust does not extend far into the halo as has been previously claimed. The total mass of dust in the inner 3 kpc of the galaxy is 7.5 · 10 M⊙...
متن کاملStar formation time - scales in the nearby , prototype starburst galaxy M 82
The last tidal encounter between M82 and M81, some 500 Myr ago, had a major impact on what was probably an otherwise normal, quiescent disc galaxy. It caused a concentrated burst of star formation in the form of massive star clusters, which decreased rapidly, within a few 100 Myr. The current starburst in the centre of the galaxy is likely either due to large-scale propagating star formation or...
متن کاملFirst Detection of Ammonia in M 82
We report the detection of the (J,K) = (1,1), (2,2), and (3,3) inversion lines of ammonia (NH3) towards the south–western molecular lobe in M82. The relative intensities of the ammonia lines are characterized by a rotational temperature of Trot = 29 ± 5K which implies an average kinetic temperature of Tkin ≈ 60K. A Gaussian decomposition of the observed spectra indicates increasing kinetic temp...
متن کاملSpitzer - IRS spectral maps of the superwind in M 82
We have mapped the superwind/halo region of the nearby starburst galaxy M82 in the midinfrared with Spitzer−IRS. The spectral regions covered include the H2 S(1)–S(3), [Ne II], [Ne III] emission lines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features. We estimate the total warmH2 mass and the kinetic energy of the outflowing warmmolecular gas to be between Mwarm ∼ 5 and 17 × 106 M and EK ∼ 6 a...
متن کاملThe Spectral Energy Distribution of CO lines in M 82
We present an analysis of the excitation conditions of the molecular gas in the streamers and the outflow of M 82 based on observations obtained at the IRAM 30 m telescope. Our analysis of J=1→0 and J=2→1 transitions of CO and 13 CO and the CO(J=3→2) line in 13 regions outside the central starburst disk shows that the gas density within the streamer/outflow system is about an order of magnitude...
