The crystalline fraction of interstellar silicates in starburst galaxies
F. Kemper, A. J. Markwick, Paul M. Woods
We present a model using the evolution of the stellar population in a starburst galaxy to predict the crystallinity of the silicates in the interstellar medium of this galaxy. We t…

Vibrationally Excited HCN in the Luminous Infrared Galaxy NGC 4418
Kazushi Sakamoto, Susanne Aalto, Aaron S. Evans +2
Infrared pumping and its effect on the excitation of HCN molecules can be important when using rotational lines of HCN to probe dense molecular gas in galaxy nuclei. We report the…
Supernova dust for the extinction law in a young infrared galaxy at z = 1
K. Kawara, H. Hirashita, T. Nozawa +6
We apply the supernova(SN) extinction curves to reproduce the observed properties of SST J1604+4304 which is a young infrared (IR) galaxy at z = 1. The SN extinction curves used in…
Cross-Power Spectrum and Its Application on Window Functions in the WMAP data
Lung-Yih Chiang, Fei-Fan Chen
Cross-power spectrum is a quadratic estimator between two maps that can provide unbiased estimate of the underlying power spectrum of the correlated signals, which is therefore use…
Cluster Mass Profiles from a Bayesian Analysis of Weak Lensing Distortion and Magnification Measurements: Applications to Subaru Data
Keiichi Umetsu, Tom Broadhurst, Adi Zitrin +2
We directly construct model-independent mass profiles of galaxy clusters from combined weak-lensing distortion and magnification measurements within a Bayesian statistical framewor…
Importance of far-infrared mapping in a spiral galaxy: AKARI observation of M81
Ai-Lei Sun, Hiroyuki Hirashita
The importance of the far-infrared (FIR) mapping is demonstrated for a face-on spiral galaxy, M81, by analyzing its imaging data at 65, 90, and 140 μm taken by AKARI. Basic product…
Contamination of the Central Sunyaev--Zel'dovich Decrements in AMiBA Galaxy Cluster Observations
Guo-Chin Liu, Mark Birkinshaw, Jiun-Huei Proty Wu +26
We investigate the contamination of the Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) effect for six galaxy clusters, A1689, A1995, A2142, A2163, A2261, and A2390, observed by the Y. T. Lee Array for M…
Improved Dark Energy Detection through the Polarization-assisted WMAP-NVSS ISW Correlation
Guo-Chin Liu, Kin-Wang Ng, Ue-Li Pen
Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect can be estimated by cross-correlating Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) sky with tracers of the local matter distribution. At late cosmic time,…
Constraining Intra-cluster Gas Models with AMiBA13
Sandor M. Molnar, Keiichi Umetsu, Mark Birkinshaw +12
Clusters of galaxies have been used extensively to determine cosmological parameters. A major difficulty in making best use of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) and X-ray observations of clu…
Cluster number counts in quintessence models
Seokcheon Lee, Kin-Wang Ng
Even though the abundance and evolution of clusters have been used to study the cosmological parameters including the properties of dark energy owing to their pure dependence on th…
