HST/WFC3 Observations of an Off-Nuclear Superbubble in Arp 220
Kelly E. Lockhart, Lisa J. Kewley, Jessica R. Lu +9
We present a high spatial resolution optical and infrared study of the circumnuclear region in Arp 220, a late-stage galaxy merger. Narrowband imaging using HST/WFC3 has resolved t…
Mass of the Southern Black Hole in NGC 6240 from Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Anne M. Medling, S. Mark Ammons, Claire E. Max +3
NGC 6240 is a pair of colliding disk galaxies, each with a black hole in its core. We have used laser guide star adaptive optics on the Keck II telescope to obtain high-resolution…
The Role of Secular Evolution in the Black Hole Growth of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
G. Orban de Xivry, R. Davies, M. Schartmann +5
Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies show extreme properties with respect to the other Seyfert galaxies. Indeed, they are thought to be accreting at Eddington rates and to possess…
Arp220: extinction and merger-induced star formation
H. Engel, R. I. Davies, R. Genzel +3
We analyse new spatially resolved integral field spectroscopic H- and K-band data at a resolution of 0.3arcsec (100pc) and re-analyse interferometric CO(2-1) line observations of t…
Most Submillimetre Galaxies are Major Mergers
H. Engel, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +10
We analyse subarcsecond resolution interferometric CO line data for twelve sub-millimetre-luminous (S850um > 5mJy) galaxies with redshifts between 1 and 3, presenting new data for…
NGC6240: Merger-Induced Star Formation & Gas Dynamics
H. Engel, R. I. Davies, R. Genzel +9
We present spatially resolved integral field spectroscopic K-band data at a resolution of 0.13" (60pc) and interferometric CO(2-1) line observations of the prototypical merging sys…
