Alma: Galaxies and Agn
نویسنده
چکیده
With the ability to see into optically obscured regions with more than an order of magnitude better sensitivity and spatial resolution relative to current (sub)mm telescopes, ALMA will provide a unique look into the physics of galaxy formation and active galactic nuclei. In this paper I summarize the ALMA potential for studying star forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei from the nearby universe to the epoch of formation of the first luminous objects.

AGN 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...
متن کاملALMA resolves extended star formation in high-z AGN host galaxies
We present high-resolution (0.3 arcsec) Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) 870 μm imaging of five z≈ 1.5–4.5 X-ray detected AGN (with luminosities of L2–8keV > 1042 erg s−1). These data provide a 20 times improvement in spatial resolution over single-dish restframe far-infrared (FIR) measurements. The sub-millimetre emission is extended on scales of FWHM ≈ 0.2 arcsec–0.5 arcsec, correspondin...
متن کاملALMA: HI and He Lines and Dust in Starbursts, AGN and High-z Galaxies
We describe preliminary results for two ALMA projects – 1) imaging the HCN(4-3) line and H26α lines in Arp 220 and 2) measurements of the dust continuum in a sample of 107 high redshift galaxies to probe the evolution of the ISM masses. The HCN observations in Arp 220 at 1/2′′ resolution provide the first high resolution imaging of the dense star forming gas in this prototypical ULIRG. The HCN ...
متن کاملAn Alma Survey of Submillimeter Galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-south: the Agn Fraction and X-ray Properties of Submillimeter Galaxies
The large gas and dust reservoirs of submm galaxies (SMGs) could potentially provide ample fuel to trigger an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN), but previous studies of the AGN fraction in SMGs have been controversial largely due to the inhomogeneity and limited angular resolution of the available submillimeter surveys. Here we set improved constraints on the AGN fraction and X-ray properties of th...
متن کاملALMA and Herschel reveal that X-ray selected AGN and main-sequence galaxies have different star formation rate distributions
Using deep Herschel and ALMA observations, we investigate the star formation rate (SFR) distributions of X-ray selected AGN host galaxies at 0.5 < z < 1.5 and 1.5 < z < 4, comparing them to that of normal, star-forming (i.e., “main-sequence”, or MS) galaxies. We find 34–55 per cent of AGNs in our sample have SFRs at least a factor of two below that of the average MS galaxy, compared to ≈ 15 per...
