Chandra Observations of the X-ray Luminous Star-forming Galaxy Merger Arp 299
We report results of a Chandra observation of the X-ray luminous star-forming galaxy Arp299 (NGC3690/IC694). We detect 18 discrete X-ray sources with luminosities above ∼ 10 39 erg s −1 (0.5-8.0 keV band), which contribute ∼ 40% of the total galactic emission in this band. The remaining emission is associated with a diffuse component spatially coincident with regions of widespread star-formatio...
متن کاملMolecular gas in the system of merging galaxies Arp 299 ?
We present new observations of the merging system Arp 299 obtained with the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer. We have observed the 12CO(1 − 0), 12CO(2 − 1), 13CO(1 − 0) and HCN(1-0)lines. For the 12CO(1 − 0) line, short spacings were recovered by using 30m data; about half of the total flux is found in weak and extended emission filtered out by the interferometer. The 12CO(1 − 0)map shows th...
متن کاملTidal Tail in the Luminous Infrared Merger Arp 299
We present VLA H i observations and UH88 ′′ deep optical Band R-band observations of the IR luminous merger Arp 299 (= NGC 3690 + IC 694). These data reveal a gas-rich (M HI = 3.3 × 10 9 M ⊙) optically faint (µ B ∼ >27 mag arcsec −2 , µ R ∼ >26 mag arcsec −2) tidal tail with a length of over 180 kpc. The size of this tidal feature necessitates an old interaction age for the merger (∼ >750 Myr s...
متن کاملPropagating Star Formation in the Collisional Ring Galaxy Arp 10
Propagating star formation in a collisional ring galaxy Arp 10 is investigated by a complex approach , which includes the broad-and narrow-band photometry, long-slit spectroscopy, and scanning Fabry-Perot spectroscopy. The ionized gas velocity field obtained with best spatial resolution to date indicates a non-isotropic expansion of the outer ring with a maximum velocity 110 km s −1. Strong ver...
متن کاملTheoretical modelling of the diffuse emission of γ - rays from extreme regions of star formation : The case of Arp 220
Astrophys.J.617:966-986, 2004 Our current understanding of ultraluminous infrared galaxies suggest that they are recent galaxy mergers in which much of the gas in the former spiral disks, particularly that located at distances less than 5 kpc from each of the pre-merger nuclei, has fallen into a common center, triggering a huge starburst phenomenon. This large nuclear concentration of molecular...
