Gas near active galactic nuclei: A search for the 4.7micron CO band

D. Lutz, E. Sturm, R. Genzel +2

In order to constrain the properties of dense and warm gas around active galactic nuclei, we have searched Infrared Space Observatory spectra of local active galactic nuclei for th…

A Compact Starburst Core in the Dusty Lyman Break Galaxy Westphal-MD11

Andrew J. Baker, Linda J. Tacconi, Reinhard Genzel +2

Using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer, we have searched for CO(3-2) emission from the dusty Lyman break galaxy Westphal-MD11 at z = 2.98. Our sensitive upper limit is surpr…

Census of the Galactic Centre early-type stars using spectro-imagery

T. Paumard, R. Genzel, J. P. Maillard +4

The few central parsecs of the Galaxy are known to contain a surprising population of early-type stars, including at least 30 Wolf-Rayet stars and luminous blue variables (LBV), id…

The Nuclear Gas Dynamics and Star Formation of Markarian 231

R. I. Davies, L. J. Tacconi, R. Genzel

We report adaptive optics H- and K-band spectroscopy of the inner few arcsec of the luminous merger/ULIRG/QSO Mkn231, at spatial resolutions as small as 0.085". For the first time…

Star Formation and Dynamics in the nuclei of AGN

R. I. Davies, L. J. Tacconi, R. Genzel

Using adaptive optics on Keck and the VLT in the H- and K-bands, we have begun a project to probe the dynamics and star formation around AGN on scales of 0.1arcsec. The stellar con…

SPIFFI observations of the starburst SMMJ14011+0252: Already old, fat, and rich by z = 2.565

M. Tecza, A. J. Baker, R. I. Davies +10

Using the SPectrometer for Infrared Faint Field Imaging (SPIFFI) on the ESO VLT, we have obtained J, H, and K band integral field spectroscopy of the z = 2.565 luminous submillimet…
