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…
Dusty Winds: Extraplanar PAH Features of Nearby Galaxies
Alexander McCormick, Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke
Recent observations have shown the presence of dust and molecular material in galactic winds, but relatively little is known about the distribution of these outflow components. To…
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…
Star Formation Efficiency in the Cool Cores of Galaxy Clusters
Michael McDonald, Sylvain Veilleux, David S. N. Rupke +2
We have assembled a sample of high spatial resolution far-UV (Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys Solar Blind Channel) and Halpha (Maryland-Magellan Tunable Filter)…
Identification of a Complete 160 micron Flux-Limited Sample of Infrared Galaxies in the ISO Lockman Hole 1-Deg^2 Deep Fields: Source Properties and Evidence for Strong Evolution in the FIR Luminosity Function for ULIRGs
Bradley A. Jacobs, David B. Sanders, David S. N. Rupke +13
We have identified a complete, flux-limited, (S_160>120 mJy), sample of 160 micron-selected sources from Spitzer observations of the 1-deg^2 ISO Deep Field region in the Lockman Ho…
The Complex Structure of the Multi-Phase Galactic Wind in a Starburst Merger
Hsin-Yi Shih, David S. N. Rupke
Neutral outflows have been detected in many ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) via the Na I D absorption-line doublet. For the first time, we have mapped and a…
Metallicity Gradients and Gas Flows in Galaxy Pairs
Lisa J. Kewley, David Rupke, H. Jabran Zahid +2
We present the first systematic investigation into the metallicity gradients in galaxy close pairs. We determine the metallicity gradients for 8 galaxies in close pairs using HII r…
Extreme Starbursts in the Local Universe
R. M. Gonzalez Delgado, J. Rodriguez Zaurin, E. Perez +44
The "Extreme starbursts in the local universe" workshop was held at the Insituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia in Granada, Spain on 21-25 June 2010. Bearing in mind the advent of a n…
NGC 839: Shocks in an M82-like Superwind
Jeffrey A. Rich, M. A. Dopita, L. J. Kewley +1
We present observations of NGC 839 made with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m telescope. Our data cover a region 25" x 60" at a spatial resolution of ~1.5". The…
Warm Molecular Hydrogen in the Galactic Wind of M82
S. Veilleux, D. S. N. Rupke, R. Swaters
We report the detection of a complex of extraplanar warm H_2 knots and filaments extending more than ~3 kpc above and below the galactic plane of M82, roughly coincident with the w…
A Deep HST H-Band Imaging Survey of Massive Gas-Rich Mergers. II. The QUEST PG QSOs
