Massive Molecular Outflows and Evidence for AGN Feedback from CO Observations

C. Cicone, R. Maiolino, E. Sturm +12

We study the properties of massive, galactic-scale outflows of molecular gas and investigate their impact on galaxy evolution. We present new IRAM PdBI CO(1-0) observations of loca…

ALMA observations of feeding and feedback in nearby Seyfert galaxies: an AGN-driven outflow in NGC 1433

F. Combes, S. Garcia-Burillo, V. Casasola +9

We report ALMA observations of CO(3-2) emission in the Seyfert 2 double-barred galaxy NGC1433, at the unprecedented spatial resolution of 0.5"=24 pc. Our aim is to probe AGN feedin…

Molecular gas in type 2 quasars at z~0.2-0.3

M. Villar-Maritn, M. Rodriguez, G. Drouart +8

We present results of CO(1-0) spectroscopic observations of 10 SDSS type 2 quasars (QSO2) at z~0.2-0.3 observed with the 30m IRAM radiotelescope and the Australia Telescope Compact…

Gas Kinematics on GMC scales in M51 with PAWS: cloud stabilization through dynamical pressure

Sharon E. Meidt, Eva Schinnerer, Santiago Garcia-Burillo +9

We use the high spatial and spectral resolution of the PAWS CO(1-0) survey of the inner 9 kpc of the iconic spiral galaxy M51 to examine the effect of gas streaming motions on the…

PHIBSS: molecular gas, extinction, star formation and kinematics in the z=1.5 star forming galaxy EGS13011166

R. Genzel, L. J. Tacconi, J. Kurk +23

We report matched resolution, imaging spectroscopy of the CO J=3-2 line (with the IRAM Plateau de Bure millimeter interferometer) and of the H-alpha line (with LUCI at the Large Bi…

The PdBI Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS). I. A Cloud-Scale/Multi-Wavelength View of the Interstellar Medium in a Grand-Design Spiral Galaxy

Eva Schinnerer, Sharon E. Meidt, Jerome Pety +10

The PdBI (Plateau de Bure Interferometer) Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS) has mapped the molecular gas in the central ~9kpc of M51 in its 12CO(1-0) line emission at cloud-scale r…

Giant Radio Galaxies: I. Intergalactic Barometers

J. M. Malarecki, L. Staveley-Smith, L. Saripalli +4

We present new wideband radio observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array of a sample of 12 giant radio galaxies. The radio observations are part of a larger radio-opti…

Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Disk Galaxies

Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter, Karin Sandstrom +12

We compare molecular gas traced by 12CO(2-1) maps from the HERACLES survey, with tracers of the recent star formation rate (SFR) across 30 nearby disk galaxies. We demonstrate a fi…

Towards a resolved Kennicutt-Schmidt law at high redshift

J. Freundlich, F. Combes, L. J. Tacconi +16

Massive galaxies in the distant Universe form stars at much higher rates than today. Although direct resolution of the star forming regions of these galaxies is still a challenge,…
