A cosmic-ray dominated ISM in Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies: new initial conditions for star formation
Padelis P. Papadopoulos
The high-density star formation typical of the merger/starburst events that power the large IR luminosities of Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) (L_{IR}>10^{12}Lsol) throug…
Extreme Cosmic-Ray-Dominated-Regions: a new paradigm for high star formation density events in the Universe
Padeli P. Papadopoulos, Wing-Fai Thi, Francesco Miniati +1
We examine in detail the recent proposal that extreme Cosmic-Ray-Dominated-Regions (CRDRs) characterize the ISM of galaxies during events of high-density star formation, fundamenta…
Deviations from the Schmidt-Kennicutt relations during early galaxy evolution
Padelis P. Papadopoulos, Federico I. Pelupessy
We utilize detailed time-varying models of the coupled evolution of stars and the HI, H_2, and CO-bright H_2 gas phases in galaxy-sized numerical simulations to explore the evoluti…
CO Spectral Line Energy Distributions of IR-luminous galaxies and AGN
Padeli P. Papadopoulos, Paul van der Werf, Kate Isaak +1
We report on new sensitive CO J=6-5 line observations of several luminous infrared Galaxies (LIRGs: L(8-1000m$)\ga 10^{11}$ L), 36% (8/22) of them ULIRGs (L…
CO J=6--5 in Arp 220: strong effects of dust on high-J CO lines
Padeli P. Papadopoulos, Kate Isaak, Paul van der Werf
We report new single dish CO J=6--5 line observations for the archetypal Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxy (ULIRG) Arp 220 with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope atop Mauna Kea in Haw…
Gas, dust and stars in the SCUBA galaxy, SMM J02399-0136: the EVLA reveals a colossal galactic nursery
Rob Ivison, Ian Smail, Padeli P. Papadopoulos +5
We present new multi-wavelength observations of the first submm-selected galaxy, SMM J02399-0136 at z=2.8. These observations include mapping of the CO J=1-0 emission using element…
