Detection of Dense Molecular Gas in Inter-Arm Spurs in M51
S. A. Corder, K. Sheth, N. Z. Scoville +3
Spiral arm spurs are prominent features that have been observed in extinction and 8m emission in nearby galaxies. In order to understand their molecular gas properties, we used…
Coordinated mm/sub-mm observations of Sagittarius A* in May 2007
D. Kunneriath, A. Eckart, S. Vogel +26
At the center of the Milky Way, with a distance of ~8 kpc, the compact source Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) can be associated with a super massive black hole of ~4x10^6 solar masses. SgrA…
Coordinated multi-wavelength observations of Sgr A*
A. Eckart, R. Schoedel, F. K. Baganoff +26
We report on recent near-infrared (NIR) and X-ray observations of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the electromagnetic manifestation of the ~4x10^6 solar masses super-massive black hole (S…
Radial Dependence of the Pattern Speed of M51
Sharon E. Meidt, Richard J. Rand, Michael R. Merrifield +2
The grand-design spiral galaxy M51 has long been a crucial target for theories of spiral structure. Studies of this iconic spiral can address the question of whether strong spiral…
Warm Molecular Gas in M51: Mapping the Excitation Temperature and Mass of H_2 with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph
G. Brunner, K. Sheth, L. Armus +7
We have mapped the warm molecular gas traced by the H_2 S(0) - H_2 S(5) pure rotational mid-infrared emission lines over a radial strip across the nucleus and disk of M51 (NGC 5194…
Radio Observations of AGN in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
M. Das, S. S. McGaugh, N. Kantharia +1
We present preliminary results of a study of the low frequency radio continuum emission from the nuclei of Giant Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies. We have mapped the emission…
