Evolving Starburst Modeling of FIR / sub - mm / mm Line Emission . III . Application to Nearby Luminous Infrared Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
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 luminosity to possibly reflect different stages of the evolution of star-forming activity within their nuclear regions. Subject headings: ISM: clouds – ISM: evolution – galaxies: ISM – galaxies: starburst – galaxies: star clusters – radio lines: ISM

متن کاملEvolving Starburst Modeling of Fir/sub-mm/mm Line Emission. Ii. Application to M 82
We present starburst models for far-infrared/sub-millimeter/millimeter (FIR/sub-mm/mm) line emission of molecular and atomic gas in an evolving starburst region, which is treated as an ensemble of non-interacting hot bubbles which drive spherical shells of swept-up gas into a surrounding uniform gas medium. These bubbles and shells are driven by stellar winds and supernovae within massive star ...
متن کاملExpected Sub-mm Emission and Dust Properties of Lyman Break Galaxies at High Redshift
We investigate expected sub-mm emission and dust properties of the Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). The SCUBA Deep Survey (Hughes et al., 1998) provides an upper limit of the 850μm flux densities of the LBGs. With this constraint, we argue that a typical ultra-violet to far-infrared spectral shape of the high-redshift LBGs is rather close to a template spectrum of low...
متن کاملProto–Galactic Starbursts at High Redshift
We have computed the evolving ultraviolet-millimeter spectral energy distribution (SED) produced by proto-galactic starbursts at high redshift, incorporating the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium in a consistent manner. Dust extinction is calculated in a novel way, that is not based on empirical calibrations of extinction curves, but rather on the lifetime of molecular clouds which ...
متن کاملSub-millimetre observations of hyperluminous infrared galaxies
We present sub-mm photometry for 11 Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxies (HLIRGs, LIR > 10 h 65 L⊙) and use radiative transfer models for starbursts and AGN to examine the nature of the IR emission. In all the sources both a starburst and AGN are required to explain the total IR emission. The mean starburst fraction is 35%, with a range spanning 80% starburst dominated to 80% AGN dominated. In all c...
