MHD Turbulence in Star-Forming Regions and the Interstellar Medium
MHD turbulence plays a central role in the physics of star-forming molecular clouds and the interstellar medium. I here show that MHD turbulence in molecular clouds must be driven to account for the observed supersonic motions in the clouds, as even strongly magnetized turbulence decays quickly. I then show that driven MHD turbulence can globally support gravitationally unstable regions, but lo...
متن کاملInfrared Properties of Star Forming Dwarf Galaxies : II . Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
A sample of 16 blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) in the Virgo Cluster has been imaged in the near-infrared (NIR) in J and K s on the 2.1m telescope at OAN-SPM in Mexico. Isophotes as faint as µ J = 24 mag arcsec −2 and µ Ks = 23 mag arcsec −2 have been reached in most of the targets. Surface brightness profiles can be fitted across the whole range of radii by the sum of two components: a hyper...
متن کاملIntragroup diffuse light in compact groups of galaxies II . HCG 15 , 35 and 51
This continuing study of intragroup light in compact groups of galaxies aims to establish new constraints to models of formation and evolution of galaxy groups, specially of compact groups, which are a key part in the evolution of larger structures, such as clusters. In this paper we present three additional groups (HCG 15, 35 and 51) using deep wide field B and R band images observed with the ...
متن کاملStar-forming Dwarf Galaxies: Ariadne’s Thread in the Cosmic Labyrinth Stellar kinematics in blue compact galaxies
In a programme of observations of local luminous blue compact galaxies (BCGs) we are investigating kinematics by using tracers of both stars and ionised gas. Here we summarise our program and present new data on the local Lyman break galaxy analogue Haro 11. From spatially-resolved spectroscopy around the near-infrared Ca ii triplet, we find that its stars and ionised gas have similar velocity ...
متن کاملCompact Groups of Galaxies
Compact groups of galaxies have posed a number of challenging questions. Intensive observational and theoretical studies are now providing answers to many of these, and at the same time, are revealing unexpected new clues about the nature and role of these systems. Most compact groups contain a high fraction of galaxies having morphological or kinematical peculiarities, nuclear radio and infrar...
