Gravitational lensing reveals extreme dust-obscured star formation in quasar host galaxies

H. R. Stacey, J. P. McKean, N. C. Robertson +8

We have observed 104 gravitationally-lensed quasars at with Herschel/SPIRE, the largest such sample ever studied. By targeting gravitational lenses, we probe intrinsic f…

The molecular circumnuclear disk (CND) in Centaurus A: A multi-transition CO and [CI] survey with Herschel, APEX, JCMT, and SEST

F. P. Israel, R. Guesten, R. Meijerink +8

We present new CO and C^o line measurements of the compact circumnuclear disk in the center of NGC 128 (Centaurus~A) obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory, as well as SEST,…

Evidence for CO shock excitation in NGC 6240 from Herschel SPIRE spectroscopy

R. Meijerink, L. E. Kristensen, A. Weiss +28

We present Herschel SPIRE FTS spectroscopy of the nearby luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240. In total 20 lines are detected, including CO J=4-3 through J=13-12, 6 H2O rotational lin…

Water vapor emission reveals a highly obscured, star forming nuclear region in the QSO host galaxy APM08279+5255 at z=3.9

Paul P. van der Werf, Alicia Berciano Alba, Marco Spaans +6

We present the detection of four rotational emission lines of water vapor, from energy levels Eu/k= 101 - 454 K, in the gravitationally lensed z=3.9 QSO host galaxy APM08279+5255.…

A new perspective on the submillimetre galaxy MM 18423+5938 at redshift 3.9296 from radio continuum imaging

J. P. McKean, A. Berciano Alba, F. Volino +5

The bright submillimetre (sub-mm) galaxy MM 18423+5938 at redshift 3.9296 has been predicted from mid-infrared and millimetre photometry to have an exceptionally large total infrar…

Star Formation in Extreme Environments: The Effects of Cosmic Rays and Mechanical Heating

R. Meijerink, M. Spaans, A. F. Loenen +1

Context: Molecular data of extreme environments, such as Arp 220, but also NGC 253, show evidence for extremely high cosmic ray (CR) rates (10^3-10^4 * Milky Way) and mechanical he…
