The Star Formation Rate - Dense Gas Relation in the Nuclei of Nearby Galaxies
Desika Narayanan, Thomas J. Cox, Lars Hernquist
We investigate the relationship between the star formation rate (SFR) and dense molecular gas mass in the nuclei of galaxies. To do this, we utilize the observed 850 micron luminos…
Molecular Star Formation Rate Indicators in Galaxies
Desika Narayanan, Thomas J. Cox, Yancy Shirley +3
We derive a physical model for the observed relations between star formation rate (SFR) and molecular line (CO and HCN) emission in galaxies, and show how these observed relations…
The Role of Galactic Winds on Molecular Gas Emission from Galaxy Mergers
Desika Narayanan, T. J. Cox, Brandon Kelly +7
We assess the impact of starburst and AGN feedback-driven winds on the CO emission from galaxy mergers, and, in particular, search for signatures of these winds in the simulated CO…
The Nature of CO Emission From z~6 Quasars
Desika Narayanan, Yuexing Li, Thomas J. Cox +9
We investigate the nature of CO emission from z~6 quasars by combining non-LTE radiative transfer calculations with merger-driven models of z~6 quasar formation that arise naturall…
Simulated Molecular Gas Emission in Galaxy Mergers with Embedded AGN
Desika Narayanan, Thomas J. Cox, Brant Robertson +6
We investigate the effect of embedded active galactic nuclei (AGN) in galaxy mergers on the CO molecular line emission by combining non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) radiat…
Variability Tests for Intrinsic Absorption Lines in Quasar Spectra
Desika Narayanan, Fred Hamann, Tom Barlow +4
Quasar spectra have a variety of absorption lines whose origins range from energetic winds expelled from the central engines to unrelated, intergalactic clouds. We present multi-ep…
