Discovery of massive star formation quenching by nonthermal effects in the center of NGC 1097
F. S. Tabatabaei, P. Minguez, M. A. Prieto +1
Observations show that massive star formation quenches first at centers of galaxies. To understand quenching mechanisms, we investigate the thermal and nonthermal energy balance in…
Probing the baryon cycle of galaxies with SPICA mid- and far-infrared observations
F. F. S. van der Tak, S. C. Madden, P. Roelfsema +29
The SPICA mid and far-infrared telescope will address fundamental issues in our understanding of star formation and ISM physics in galaxies. A particular hallmark of SPICA is the o…
Embedded AGN and star formation in the central 80 pc of IC 3639
J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros, K. R. W. Tristram, S. Hönig +2
[Abridged] Methods: We use interferometric observations in the -band with VLTI/MIDI to resolve the mid-IR nucleus of IC 3639. The origin of the nuclear infrared emission is dete…
Unbiased large spectroscopic surveys of galaxies selected by SPICA using dust bands
H. Kaneda, D. Ishihara, S. Oyabu +27
The mid-infrared (IR) range contains many spectral features associated with large molecules and dust grains such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and silicates. These are…
Tracing the evolution of dust obscured star-formation and accretion back to the reionisation epoch with SPICA
C. Gruppioni, L. Ciesla, E. Hatziminaoglou +35
Our current knowledge of star formation and accretion luminosity at high-redshift (z>3-4), as well as the possible connections between them, relies mostly on observations in the re…
Galaxy evolution studies with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA): the power of IR spectroscopy
L. Spinoglio, A. Alonso-Herrero, L. Armus +65
IR spectroscopy in the range 12-230 micron with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) will reveal the physical processes that govern the formation and evolu…
SPICA and the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies: The Rise of Metals and Dust
J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros, L. Armus, M. Baes +33
The physical processes driving the chemical evolution of galaxies in the last cannot be understood without directly probing the dust-obscured phase of star-for…
Probing the cold and warm molecular gas in the Whirlpool Galaxy: Herschel SPIRE-FTS Observations of the central region of M51 (NGC 5194)
M. R. P. Schirm, C. D. Wilson, J. Kamenetzky +12
We present Herschel SPIRE-FTS intermediate-sampled mapping observations of the central ~8 kpc (~150") of M51, with a spatial resolution of 40". We detect 4 12CO transitions (J=4-3…
