چکیده
We report IRAM Plateau de Bure, millimeter interferometry of three z ∼2.4 to 3.4, SCUBA deep field galaxies. Our CO line observations confirm the rest-frame UV/optical redshifts, thus more than doubling the number of confirmed, published redshifts of the faint submillimeter population and proving their high-z nature. In all three sources our measurements of the intrinsic gas and dynami-cal mass are large (10 10 to 10 11 M ⊙). In at least two cases the data show that the submillimeter sources are part of an interacting system. Together with recent information gathered in the X-ray, optical and radio bands our observations support the interpretation that the submm-population consists of gas rich (gas to dynamical mass ratio ∼0.5) and massive, composite starburst/AGN systems, which are undergoing a major burst of star formation and are evolving into m *-galaxies.

We present polarization maps of G30.79 FIR 10 (in W43) from thermal dust emission at 1.3 mm and from CO J=2 → 1 line emission. The observations were obtained using the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array in the period 2002-2004. The G30.79 FIR 10 region shows an ordered polarization pattern in dust emission, which suggests an hourglass shape for the magnetic field. Only marginal detect...

We present high angular resolution (∼ 1 and 0.6) mm-interferometric observations of the CO(1− 0) and CO(2− 1) line emission in the central 300 pc of the late-type spiral galaxy NGC6946. The data, obtained with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), allow the first detection of a molecular gas spiral in the inner ∼ 10 (270 pc) with a large concentration of molecular Based on observation...

In this paper we investigate Charged Domain Walls (CDW's), topological defects that acquire surface charge density Q induced by fermion states localized on the walls. The presence of an electric and magnetic field on the walls is also discussed. We find a relation in which the value of the surface charge density Q is connected with the existence of such topological defects.

New high resolution CO (3–2) interferometric map of the IR-bright interacting galaxy system VV 114 observed with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) reveal a substantial amount of warm and dense gas in the IR-bright but optically obscured galaxy, VV 114E, and the overlap region connecting the two nuclei. A 1.8×1.4 kpc concentration of CO (3–2) emitting gas with a total mass of 4×109M⊙ coincides with ...
