Extended silicate dust emission in PG QSOs
M. Schweitzer, B. Groves, H. Netzer +9
This paper addresses the origin of the silicate emission observed in PG QSOs, based on observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Scenarios based on the unified model suggest t…
Uncovering the Active Galactic Nuclei in Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission-Line Regions with Spitzer
David Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux, DongChan Kim +6
The impact of active galactic nuclei on low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs) remains a vigorous field of study. We present preliminary results from a study of the…
The Oxygen Abundances of Luminous and Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
David S. N. Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux, Andrew J. Baker
Luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs) dominate the star formation rate budget of the universe at z > 1, yet no local measurements of their heavy element a…
Spitzer Quasar and ULIRG Evolution Study (QUEST): II. The Spectral Energy Distributions of Palomar-Green Quasars
Hagai Netzer, Dieter Lutz, Mario Schweitzer +10
This is the second paper studying the QSOs in the spitzer QUEST sample. Previously we presented new PAH measurements and argued that most of the observed far infrared (FIR) radiati…
Mid-Infrared Diagnostics of LINERs
E. Sturm, D. Rupke, A. Contursi +12
We report results from the first mid-infrared spectroscopic study of a comprehensive sample of 33 LINERs, observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We compare the properties of tw…
Spitzer Quasar and ULIRG evolution study (QUEST): I. The origin of the far infrared continuum of QSOs
M. Schweitzer, D. Lutz, E. Sturm +13
This paper addresses the origin of the far-infrared (FIR) continuum of QSOs, based on the Quasar and ULIRG Evolution Study (QUEST) of nearby QSOs and ULIRGs using observations with…
Hubble Space Telescope H-Band Imaging Survey of Massive Gas-Rich Mergers
S. Veilleux, D. -C. Kim, C. Y. Peng +6
We report the results from a deep HST NICMOS H-band imaging survey of a carefully selected sample of 33 luminous, late-stage galactic mergers at z < 0.3. Signs of a recent galactic…
Keck High-Resolution Spectroscopy of Outflows in Infrared Luminous Galaxies
David S. Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux
Several recent studies have determined that large quantities of neutral gas are outflowing from the nuclei of almost all infrared-luminous galaxies. These measurements show that wi…
Outflows in Infrared-Luminous Starbursts at z < 0.5. II. Analysis and Discussion
David S. Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux, D. B. Sanders
We have performed an absorption-line survey of outflowing gas in 78 starburst-dominated, infrared-luminous galaxies. This is the largest study of superwinds at z < 3. Superwinds ar…
Outflows in AGN/Starburst-Composite Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
David S. Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux, D. B. Sanders
Galactic superwinds occur in almost all infrared-luminous galaxies with star formation rates (SFRs) above 10 M_sun/yr, as shown by studies of the NaI D interstellar absorption line…
Outflows in Infrared-Luminous Starbursts at z < 0.5. I. Sample, NaI D Spectra, and Profile Fitting
David S. Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux, D. B. Sanders
We have conducted a spectroscopic survey of 78 starbursting infrared-luminous galaxies at redshifts up to z = 0.5. We use moderate-resolution spectroscopy of the NaI D interstellar…
A Search for Very Extended Ionized Gas in Nearby Starburst and Active Galaxies
S. Veilleux, P. L. Shopbell, D. S. Rupke +2
We report the results from a pilot study of 10 nearby starburst and active galaxies conducted with the Taurus Tunable Filter (TTF) on the Anglo-Australian and William Herschel Tele…
Keck Absorption-Line Spectroscopy of Galactic Winds in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
David S. Rupke, Sylvain Veilleux, D. B. Sanders
In this paper, we present moderately-high resolution (~65 km/s) spectroscopy, acquired with ESI on Keck II, of 11 ultraluminous infrared galaxies at z < 0.3 from the IRAS 1 Jy samp…
Identification of Galactic Wind Candidates using Excitation Maps: Tunable-Filter Discovery of a Shock-Excited Wind in the Galaxy NGC 1482
Sylvain Veilleux, David S. Rupke
Multi-line imaging of the nearby disk galaxy NGC 1482 with the Taurus Tunable Filter (TTF) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope reveals a remarkable hourglass-shaped [N II] 6583/H-alp…
