Compact near infrared sources in the center of the extraordinary galaxy IC 860
J. S. Gallagher, L. Schisgal, G. C. Privon +7
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images are used to study the structure of the central regions of the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) IC 860. IC 860 is of special interest as a system…
High resolution ALMA observations of HS in LIRGS (Dense gas and shocks in outflows and CNDs)
M. T. Sato, S. Aalto, S. König +14
Molecular gas plays a critical role in regulating star formation and nuclear activity in galaxies. Sulphur bearing molecules, such as H2S, are sensitive to the physical and chemica…
Searching for Compact Obscured Nuclei in Compton Thick AGN
Makoto A. Johnstone, George C. Privon, Loreto Barcos-Munoz +16
Compact Obscured Nuclei (CONs) are heavily obscured infrared cores that have been found in local (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs). They show bright emission from vibrati…
A Search for 3-mm Molecular Absorption Line Transitions in the Magellanic Stream
Lucille Steffes, Daniel R. Rybarczyk, Snežana Stanimirović +14
The Magellanic Stream, a tidal tail of diffuse gas falling onto the Milky Way, formed by interactions between the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, is primarily composed of neutra…
LeMMINGs. Multi-wavelength constraints on the co-existence of nuclear star clusters and AGN in nucleated galaxies
B. T. Dullo, J. H. Knapen, R. D. Baldi +16
[Abridged] The relation between nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and the growth of the central SMBHs, as well as their connection to the properties of the host galaxies, is crucial for…
An Imaging and Spectroscopic Exploration of the Dusty Compact Obscured Nucleus Galaxy Zw~049.057
J. S. Gallagher, R. Kotulla, L. Laufman +9
Zw~049.057 is a moderate mass, dusty, early-type galaxy that hosts a powerful compact obscured nucleus (CON, L10~L). The resolution of HST enabled…
