Breaking the Obscuring Screen: A Resolved Molecular Outflow in a Buried QSO

David Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux

We present Keck laser guide star adaptive optics observations of the nearby buried QSO F08572+3915:NW. We use near-infrared integral field data taken with OSIRIS to reveal a compac…

Fast Molecular Outflows in Luminous Galaxy Mergers: Evidence for Quasar Feedback from Herschel

S. Veilleux, M. Melendez, E. Sturm +18

We report the results from a systematic search for molecular (OH-119 um) outflows with Herschel-PACS in a sample of 43 nearby (z < 0.3) galaxy mergers, mostly ultraluminous infrare…

The Multiphase Structure and Power Sources of Galactic Winds in Major Mergers

David S. N. Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux

Massive, galaxy-scale outflows are known to be ubiquitous in major mergers of disk galaxies in the local universe. In this paper, we explore the multiphase structure and power sour…

The Surprising Absence of Absorption in the Far-Ultraviolet Spectrum of Mrk 231

S. Veilleux, M. Trippe, F. Hamann +11

Mrk 231, the nearest (z = 0.0422) quasar, hosts both a galactic-scale wind and a nuclear-scale iron low-ionization broad absorption line (FeLoBAL) outflow. We recently obtained a f…

An Integral Field Study of Abundance Gradients in Nearby LIRGs

J. A. Rich, P. Torrey, L. J. Kewley +2

We present for the first time metallicity maps generated using data from the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m of 9 Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) and discuss the…

Optical Spectroscopy of Halpha Filaments in Cool Core Clusters: Kinematics, Reddening, and Sources of Ionization

Michael McDonald, Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke

We have obtained deep, high spatial and spectral resolution, long-slit spectra of the Halpha nebulae in the cool cores of 9 galaxy clusters. This sample provides a wealth of inform…
