Mixing and Transfer of Elements by Interactions and Mergers
F. Combes, Paris Observatory
Galaxy interactions produce strong torques that generate radial gas flows. There are two opposite tendencies of these flows, regarding abundance gradients: homogeneization and grad…
Molecular absorption lines at high redshift
Tommy Wiklind, Francoise Combes
The four known molecular absorption line systems at redshifts z0.25--0.89 are discussed. Two of the systems originate in the galaxy hosting the `background' AGN, while in two ca…
Molecular lines in absorption: recent results
F. Combes, T. Wiklind
Some recent results are presented about high redshift molecular absorption lines, namely about chemical abundances of elements, and in particular of water and molecular oxygen. Exc…
Extended gas in interacting systems
F. Combes
HI observations have revealed large gaseous extensions in interacting and merging systems. The interstellar gas is obviously dragged out in tidal tails during an encounter, and the…
A sensitive search for CO emission from faint blue galaxies at z~0.5
C. D. Wilson, F. Combes
We have obtained sensitive upper limits on the CO J=2-1 and CO J=3-2 emission lines for five faint blue galaxies with redshifts using the IRAM 30~m telescope. These obs…
The Central Regions of the Galaxy and Galaxies: A Brief Summary
F. Combes
This symposium has revealed considerable new progress on nuclei of galaxies over the last three years. In this talk, I will try to point out the advances since the last meeting on…
