The Radio Spectral Energy Distribution and Star Formation Rate Calibration in Galaxies

F. S. Tabatabaei, E. Schinnerer, M. Krause +17

We study the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the radio continuum emission from the KINGFISH sample of nearby galaxies to understand the energetics and origin of this emission…

Molecular outflows in local ULIRGs: energetics from multi-transition OH analysis

E. González-Alfonso, J. Fischer, H. W. W. Spoon +11

We report on the energetics of molecular outflows in 14 local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) that show unambiguous outflow signatures (P-Cygni profiles or high-velocity a…

Millimeter-Wave Line Ratios and Sub-beam Volume Density Distributions

Adam K. Leroy, Antonio Usero, Andreas Schruba +11

We explore the use of mm-wave emission line ratios to trace molecular gas density when observations integrate over a wide range of volume densities within a single telescope beam.…

The Role of Host Galaxy for the Environmental Dependence of Active Nuclei in Local Galaxies

R. I. Davies, E. K. S. Hicks, P. Erwin +22

We discuss the environment of local hard X-ray selected active galaxies, with reference to two independent group catalogues. We find that the fraction of these AGN in S0 host galax…

BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey-III. An observed link between AGN Eddington ratio and narrow emission line ratios

Kyuseok Oh, Kevin Schawinski, Michael Koss +14

We investigate the observed relationship between black hole mass (), bolometric luminosity (), and Eddington ratio () with optical emission li…

The Molecular Wind in the Nearest Seyfert Galaxy Circinus Revealed by ALMA

Laura K. Zschaechner, Fabian Walter, Alberto Bolatto +6

We present ALMA observations of the inner 1' (1.2 kpc) of the Circinus galaxy, the nearest Seyfert. We target CO (1-0) in the region associated with a well-known multiphase outflow…

Exploring Damped Lyman- System Host Galaxies using Gamma-ray Bursts

Vicki L. Toy, Antonino Cucchiara, Sylvain Veilleux +6

We present a sample of 45 Damped Lyman- system (DLA, \nhi\ ) counterparts (33 detections, 12 upper limits) which host gamma-ray bursts (GRB…

Constraints on the Broad Line Region Properties and Extinction in Local Seyferts

Allan Schnorr-Müller, R. I. Davies, K. T. Korista +22

We use high spectral resolution (R > 8000) data covering 3800-13000Å to study the physical conditions of the broad line region (BLR) of nine nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies. Up to six br…

A Portrait of Cold Gas in Galaxies at 60pc Resolution and a Simple Method to Test Hypotheses That Link Small-Scale ISM Structure to Galaxy-Scale Processes

Adam K. Leroy, Annie Hughes, Andreas Schruba +14

The cloud-scale density, velocity dispersion, and gravitational boundedness of the interstellar medium (ISM) vary within and among galaxies. In turbulent models, these properties p…

Another piece of the puzzle: the fast HI outflow in Mrk231

Raffaella Morganti, Sylvain Veilleux, Tom Oosterloo +2

We present the detection, performed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) and the Karl Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), of a fast HI 21-cm outflow in the ultra-luminou…

Search for Molecular Outflows in Local Volume AGN with Herschel-PACS

M. Stone, S. Veilleux, M. Melendez +3

We present the results from a systematic search for galactic-scale, molecular (OH 119 m) outflows in a sample of 52 Local Volume ( Mpc) Burst Alert Telescope detected ac…

Searching for molecular outflows in Hyper-Luminous Infrared Galaxies

D. Calderón, F. E. Bauer, S. Veilleux +5

We present constraints on the molecular outflows in a sample of five Hyper-Luminous Infrared Galaxies using Herschel observations of the OH doublet at 119 μm. We have detected the…

The Complete Ultraviolet Spectrum of the Archetypal "Wind-Dominated" Quasar Mrk~231: Absorption and Emission from a High-Speed Dusty Nuclear Outflow

S. Veilleux, M. Melendez, T. M. Tripp +2

New near- and far-ultraviolet (NUV and FUV) HST spectra of Mrk 231, the nearest quasar known, are combined with ground-based optical spectra to study the remarkable dichotomy betwe…

Broad [CII] line wings as tracer of molecular and multi-phase outflows in infrared bright galaxies

A. W. Janssen, N. Christopher, E. Sturm +13

We report a tentative correlation between the outflow characteristics derived from OH absorption at and [CII] emission at in a sample of 22 local…

The view of AGN-host alignment via reflection spectroscopy

Matthew J. Middleton, Michael L. Parker, Christopher S. Reynolds +2

The fuelling of active galactic nuclei (AGN) - via material propagated through the galactic disc or via minor mergers - is expected to leave an imprint on the alignment of the sub-…

Interplay among Cooling, AGN Feedback and Anisotropic Conduction in the Cool Cores of Galaxy Clusters

H. -Y. K. Yang, C. S. Reynolds

Feedback from the active galactic nuclei (AGN) is one of the most promising heating mechanisms to circumvent the cooling-flow problem in galaxy clusters. However, the role of therm…
