چکیده

The radio counterparts to the IRAS Redshift Survey galaxies are identified in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) catalog. Our new catalog of the infrared flux-limited (S60μm ≥ 2 Jy) complete sample of 1809 galaxies lists accurate radio positions, redshifts, and 1.4 GHz radio and IRAS fluxes. This sample is six times larger in size and five times deeper in redshift coverage (to z ≈ 0.15) compared with those used in earlier studies of the radio and far-infrared (FIR) properties of galaxies in the local volume. The well known radio-FIR correlation is obeyed by the overwhelming majority (≥ 98%) of the infrared-selected galaxies, and the radio AGNs identified by their excess radio emission constitute only about 1% of the sample, independent of the IR luminosity. These FIR-selected galaxies can account for the entire population of late-type field galaxies in the local volume, and their radio continuum may be used directly to infer the extinction-free star formation rate in most cases. Both the 1.4 GHz radio and 60 μm infrared luminosity functions are reasonably well described by linear sums of two Schechter functions, one representing normal, late-type field galaxies and the second representing starbursts and other luminous infrared galaxies. The integrated FIR luminosity density for the local volume is (4.8 ± 0.5) × 10L⊙ Mpc , less than 10% of which is contributed by the luminous infrared galaxies with LFIR ≥ 10 L⊙. The inferred extinction-free star formation density for the local volume is 0.015± 0.005 M⊙ yr −1 Mpc. Subject headings: galaxies: luminosity function – galaxies: starburst – galaxies: active – infrared: galaxies – radio continuum: galaxies — surveys

Very Long Baseline Array images of the X-ray binary, Cygnus X-3 were obtained 2, 4 and 7 days after the peak of a 10 Jy flare on 4 February 1997. The first two images show a curved one-sided jet, the third a scatter-broadened disc, presumably at the position of the core. The jet curvature changes from the first to the second epoch, which strongly suggests a precessing jet. The ratio of the flux...

Arcsec-resolution VLA observations – newly obtained as well as published – of 40 nearby galaxies are discussed, completing a study of the radio properties of a magnitude-limited sample of nearby galaxies of the composite LINER/H ii type. Our results reveal an overall detection rate of at least 25% AGN candidates among these composite sources. The general properties of these AGN candidates, as c...

We present current results of an ongoing survey for OH megamasers in luminous infrared galaxies at the Arecibo Observatory. The survey is now two-thirds complete, and has resulted in the discovery of 35 new OH megamasers at z > 0.1, 24 of which are presented in this paper. We discuss the properties of each source in detail, including an exhaustive survey of the literature. We also place upper l...

We present preliminary results of XMM-Newton observations of 5 Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs), part of a mini-survey program dedicated to 10 ULIRGs selected from the bright IRAS sample. For 3 of them (IRAS 20551-4250, IRAS 19254-7245 and Mkn 231) we find strong evidence for the presence of a hidden AGN, while for two others (IRAS 20110-4156 IRAS 22491-1808) the S/N ratio of the data ...
