The FIR-radio correlation of Wolf-Rayet galaxies and the role of star formation in LINERs
نویسنده
چکیده
We find that a preliminary classification of LINERs’ energetics may be made in terms of the FIR-radio correlation of Wolf-Rayet galaxies. The AGNor starburst-supported LINERs can be distinguished by their FIR-to-radio ratio, Q ≡ L(1.4GHz)/ L(60μm) > or < 0.01. It is interesting to note that almost all the LINERs with inner rings might be starburstsupported, indicating reduced AGN activities compared with those of the AGN-supported ones. We also find that a shockheating phase for the warm dust component might be important for some starbursts at the burst age of ≥ 107 yr, with Q < 0.001.

We report our preliminary results on the role of starbursts in LINERs by use of WR galaxies as a tool. The essence of this approach lies in the different FIR-radio relation of WR galaxies from the pure AGN's. The energetics of LINERs has been a controversial issue since their definition by Heckman (1980). In recent years, several LINERs have been observed by HST, or large ground-base facilities...
متن کاملAGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...

Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies provide detailed information on massive star populations in starbursts and thereby represent ideal objects to determine accurate ages for young systems, to measure the burst duration, and to probe the upper end of the IMF. WR galaxies play also a particular role in a variety of studies on star formation in Seyfert2/LINERS, dust production and local chemical enrichment, ...
متن کاملThe Nature of Radio Continuum Emission in the Dwarf Starburst
We present new multi-frequency radio continuum imaging of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC625 obtained with the Very Large Array. Data at 20, 6, and 3.6 cm reveal global continuum emission dominated by free-free emission, with only mild synchrotron components. Each of the major H ii regions is detected; the individual spectral indices are thermal for the youngest regions (showing largest Hα emiss...
