A population of luminous accreting black holes with hidden mergers
Michael J. Koss, Laura Blecha, Phillip Bernhard +11
Major galaxy mergers are thought to play an important part in fuelling the growth of supermassive black holes. However, observational support for this hypothesis is mixed, with som…
Science with an ngVLA: How Do Cold Gas Outflows Shape Galaxies?
Alberto D. Bolatto, Lee Armus, Adam K. Leroy +3
The ngVLA will obtain breakthrough observations of the cold phases (molecular and atomic) of galactic outflows. These observations will be key to study the driving mechanisms of co…
Spatially Resoved 12CO(2-1)/12CO(1-0) in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253: Assessing Optical Depth to Constrain the Molecular Mass Outflow Rate
Laura K. Zschaechner, Alberto D. Bolatto, Fabian Walter +9
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of 12CO(1-0) and 12CO(2-1) in the central 40" (680 pc) of the nuclear starburst galaxy NGC 253, includin…
The Broad Absorption Line Tidal Disruption Event iPTF15af: Optical and Ultraviolet Evolution
N. Blagorodnova, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +16
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF15af, discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey at redshift $z=0.07897…
A luminous blue kilonova and an off-axis jet from a compact binary merger at z=0.1341
E. Troja, G. Ryan, L. Piro +9
The recent discovery of a faint gamma-ray burst (GRB) coincident with the gravitational wave (GW) event GW 170817 revealed the existence of a population of low-luminosity short dur…
Exploring the Dust Content of Galactic Winds With Herschel. II. Nearby Dwarf Galaxies
Alexander McCormick, Sylvain Veilleux, Marcio Meléndez +7
We present the results from an analysis of deep Herschel Space Observatory observations of six nearby dwarf galaxies known to host galactic-scale winds. The superior far-infrared s…
Forming Super Star Clusters in the Central Starburst of NGC 253
Adam K. Leroy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Eve C. Ostriker +11
NGC 253 hosts the nearest nuclear starburst. Previous observations show a region rich in molecular gas, with dense clouds associated with recent star formation. We used ALMA to ima…
SHINING, A Survey of Far Infrared Lines in Nearby Galaxies. II: Line-Deficit Models, AGN impact, [CII]-SFR Scaling Relations, and Mass-Metallicity Relation in (U)LIRGS
R. Herrera-Camus, E. Sturm, J. Graciá-Carpio +12
The SHINING survey (Paper I; Herrera-Camus et al. 2018) offers a great opportunity to study the properties of the ionized and neutral media of galaxies from prototypical starbursts…
SHINING, A Survey of Far Infrared Lines in Nearby Galaxies. I: Survey Description, Observational Trends, and Line Diagnostics
R. Herrera-Camus, E. Sturm, J. Graciá-Carpio +12
We use the Herschel/PACS spectrometer to study the global and spatially resolved far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure line emission in a sample of 52 galaxies that constitute the SHIN…
