Evidence for shock-heated gas in the Taffy Galaxies and Bridge from Optical Emission-Line IFU spectroscopy
Bhavin A. Joshi, Philip N. Appleton, Guillermo A. Blanc +7
We present optical IFU observations of the Taffy system (UGC 12914/15); named for the radio emission that stretches between the two galaxies. Given that these gas rich galaxies are…
Herschel Spectroscopy of the Taffy Galaxies (UGC 12914/12915 = VV 254): Enhanced [C II] emission in the collisionally-formed bridge
B. W. Peterson, P. N. Appleton, T. Bitsakis +17
Using the PACS and SPIRE spectrometers on-board Herschel, we obtained observations of the Taffy galaxies (UGC 12914/12915) and bridge. The Taffy system is believed to be the result…
X-ray Emission from the Taffy (VV254) Galaxies and Bridge
Philip Appleton, Lauranne Lanz, Theodoros Bitsakis +11
We present the first X-ray observations of the Taffy galaxies (UGC 12914/5) with the Chandra observatory, and detect soft X-ray emission in the region of the gas-rich, radio-contin…
Shock-Enhanced C+ Emission and the Detection of H2O from Stephan's Quintet's Group-Wide Shock using Herschel
P. N. Appleton, P. Guillard, F. Boulanger +20
We present the first Herschel spectroscopic detections of the [OI]63 and [CII]158 micron fine-structure transitions, and a single para-H2O line from the 35 x 15 kpc^2 shocked inter…
Detection of Powerful Mid-IR H2 Emission in the Bridge between the Taffy Galaxies
B. W. Peterson, P. N. Appleton, G. Helou +6
We report the detection of strong, resolved emission from warm H2 in the Taffy galaxies and bridge. Relative to the continuum and faint PAH emission, the H2 emission is the stronge…
Star Cluster Dissolution in Arp 284
Bradley W. Peterson, Curtis Struck, Beverly J. Smith +1
We present results from a study of proto-globular cluster candidates in the interacting galaxy system Arp 284 (NGC 7714/5). Studies of the Antennae and M51 have suggested that the…
