The Atlas3D project -- XXVII. Cold Gas and the Colours and Ages of Early-type Galaxies
L. M. Young, N. Scott, P. Serra +22
We present a study of the cold gas contents of the Atlas3D early-type galaxies, in the context of their optical colours, near-UV colours, and Hβ absorption line strengths. Early-ty…
Planck intermediate results. XVII. Emission of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium from the far-infrared to microwave frequencies
Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +196
The dust-HI correlation is used to characterize the emission properties of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium. We cross-correlate sky maps from Planck, WMAP, and DIRBE, at 17…
Planck 2013 results. XI. All-sky model of thermal dust emission
Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +244
This paper presents an all-sky model of dust emission from the Planck 857, 545 and 353 GHz, and IRAS 100 micron data. Using a modified black-body fit to the data we present all-sky…
A Direct Stellar Metallicity Determination in the Disk of the Maser Galaxy NGC4258
Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Miguel A. Urbaneja, J. Zachary Gazak +4
We present the first direct determination of a stellar metallicity in the spiral galaxy NGC4258 (D=7.6 Mpc) based on the quantitative analysis of a low-resolution (~5 AE) Keck LRIS…
Cosmic rays can drive strong outflows from gas-rich high-redshift disk galaxies
Michal Hanasz, Harald Lesch, Thorsten Naab +3
We present simulations of the magnetized interstellar medium (ISM) in models of massive star forming (40 Msun / yr) disk galaxies with high gas surface densities (~100 Msun / pc^2)…
On the evolution of the density pdf in strongly self-gravitating systems
Philipp Girichidis, Lukas Konstandin, Anthony P. Whitworth +1
The time evolution of the probability density function (PDF) of the mass density is formulated and solved for systems in free-fall using a simple appoximate function for the collap…
N-body simulations of globular clusters in tidal fields: Effects of intermediate-mass black holes
Nora Lützgendorf, Holger Baumgardt, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may provide the missing link to understanding the growth of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. Some formation scenarios predict t…
Planck intermediate results. XV. A study of anomalous microwave emission in Galactic clouds
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +180
Anomalous microwave emission (AME) is believed to be due to electric dipole radiation from small spinning dust grains. The aim of this paper is a statistical study of the basic pro…
Gaia FGK Benchmark Stars - Metallicity
Paula Jofre, U. Heiter, C. Soubiran +22
To calibrate automatic pipelines that determine atmospheric parameters of stars, one needs a sample of stars -- ``benchmark stars'' -- with well defined parameters to be used as a…
Studying Galactic interstellar turbulence through fluctuations in synchrotron emission: First LOFAR Galactic foreground detection
M. Iacobelli, M. Haverkorn, E. Orrú +85
The characteristic outer scale of turbulence and the ratio of the random to ordered components of the magnetic field are key parameters to characterise magnetic turbulence in the i…
Strong magnetic fields and large rotation measures in protogalaxies by supernova seeding
Alexander M. Beck, Klaus Dolag, Harald Lesch +1
We present a model for the seeding and evolution of magnetic fields in protogalaxies. Supernova (SN) explosions during the assembly of a protogalaxy provide magnetic seed fields, w…
Galactic abundance gradients from Cepheids: alpha and heavy elements in the outer disk
B. Lemasle, P. Francois, K. Genovali +11
Context: Galactic abundance gradients set strong constraints to chemo-dynamical evolutionary models of the Milky Way. Given the PL relations that provide accurate distances and the…
The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project
Ji-hoon Kim, Tom Abel, Oscar Agertz +43
We introduce the AGORA project, a comprehensive numerical study of well-resolved galaxies within the LCDM cosmology. Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with force resolutions of…
Planck intermediate results. XIV. Dust emission at millimetre wavelengths in the Galactic plane
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +190
We use Planck HFI data combined with ancillary radio data to study the emissivity index of the interstellar dust emission in the frequency range 10 - 353 GHz, or 3 - 0.8 mm, in the…
Streams in the Aquarius stellar haloes
Facundo A. Gómez, Amina Helmi, Andrew P. Cooper +3
We use the very high resolution, fully cosmological simulations from the Aquarius project, coupled to a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation, to study the phase-space distribu…
Unveiling the corona of the Milky Way via ram-pressure stripping of dwarf satellites
A. Gatto, F. Fraternali, J. I. Read +3
The spatial segregation between dSphs and dIrrs in the Local Group has long been regarded as evidence of an interaction with their host galaxies. In this paper, we assume that ram-…
Clumps and triggered star formation in ionised molecular clouds
S. Walch, A. P. Whitworth, T. G. Bisbas +2
Infrared shells and bubbles are ubiquitous in the Galaxy and can generally be associated with HII regions formed around young, massive stars. In this paper, we use high-resolution…
Numerical simulations of the possible origin of the two sub-parsec scale and counter-rotating stellar disks around SgrA*
C. Alig, M. Schartmann, A. Burkert +1
We present a high resolution simulation of an idealized model to explain the origin of the two young, counter-rotating, sub-parsec scale stellar disks around the supermassive black…
Empirical Constraints on the Star Formation & Redshift Dependence of the Lyman Alpha `Effective' Escape Fraction
Mark Dijkstra, Akila Jeeson-Daniel
We derive empirical constraints on the volume averaged `effective' escape fraction of Lyman Alpha (Lya) photons from star forming galaxies as a function of redshift, by comparing s…
Analytical theory for the initial mass function: III time dependence and star formation rate
Patrick Hennebelle, Gilles Chabrier
The present paper extends our previous theory of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) by including the time-dependence, and by including the impact of magnetic field. The predic…
Candidate super star cluster progenitor gas clouds possibly triggered by close passage to Sgr A*
S. N. Longmore, J. M. D. Kruijssen, J. Bally +8
