- mm Observations of Luminous Infrared Galaxies
Measurements at a wavelength of 1.25 mm have been obtained for 17 IRAS galaxies selected on the basis of high far-infrared luminosity. These measurements are used to estimate the lower and upper limits to the mass of cold dust in infrared galaxies. As a lower limit on dust mass, all of the galaxies can be successfully modeled without invoking any dust colder than the dust responsible for the 60...
متن کاملCO Molecular Gas in Infrared Luminous Galaxies
We present the first statistical survey of the properties of the CO(1-0) and CO(3-2) line emission from the nuclei of a nearly complete subsample of 60 infrared (IR) luminous galaxies selected from SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey (SLUGS). This subsample is flux limited at S60μm ≥ 5.24 Jy with far-IR (FIR) luminosities mostly at LFIR > 10 10 L⊙. We compare the emission line strengths of CO(1-...
متن کاملThe Submillimeter Array 1.3 mm line survey of Arp 220
Context. Though Arp 220 is the closest and by far the most studied ULIRG, a discussion is still ongoing on the main power source driving its huge infrared luminosity. Aims. To study the molecular composition of Arp 220 in order to find chemical fingerprints associated with the main heating mechanisms within its nuclear region. Methods. We present the first aperture synthesis unbiased spectral l...
متن کاملWarm Molecular Gas in Luminous Infrared Galaxies
We present our initial results on the CO rotational spectral line energy distribution (SLED) of the J to J−1 transitions from J = 4 up to 13 from Herschel SPIRE spectroscopic observations of 65 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) in the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey (GOALS). The observed SLEDs change on average from one peaking at J ≤ 4 to a broad distribution peaking around J ∼ 6−7 as...
متن کاملEvolving Starburst Modeling of FIR / sub - mm / mm Line Emission . III . Application to Nearby Luminous Infrared Galaxies
We present a preliminary study of using the template of an ensemble of evolving shells we developed for M 82 (Yao 2009). we apply the model to represent various stages of starburst evolution in a well known sample of nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs). In this way, we attempt to interpret the relationship between the degree of molecular excitation and ratio of far-infrared (FIR) to CO lu...
