Probing the feeding and feedback of AGN through molecular line maps
S. Garcia-Burillo, F. Combes, A. Usero +1
Current mm-interferometers can provide a complete view of the distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in the circumnuclear disks of nearby galaxies. High-resolution CO maps ar…
Formation of cold molecular filaments in cooling flow clusters
Yves Revaz, Francoise Combes, Philippe Salome
New CO observations at the center of cooling flow in Perseus cluster \cite{salome06} show a clear correlation of the molecular gas with the previously detected H- filaments \cit…
The surface brightness of the Galaxy at the Solar Neighbourhood
A. -L. Melchior, F. Combes, A. Gould
We present a new determination of the surface brightness of our Galaxy at the Solar Neighbourhood as observed from outside the Galaxy. We rely on various existing optical and infra…
High resolution observations of a starburst at z=0.223: resolved CO(1-0)
F. Combes, S. Garcia-Burillo, J. Braine +12
We present the results of CO(1-0) emission mapping with the IRAM interferometer, at \sim 1 arcsec, resolution, of the z=0.223 ultra-luminous starburst IRAS 11582+3020. This galaxy…
Gas flows and bars in galaxies
F. Combes
Dynamical evolution of spiral galaxies is strongly dependent on non-axisymmetric patterns that develop from gravitational instabilities, either spontaneously or externally triggere…
Probing isotopic ratios at z = 0.89: molecular line absorption in front of the quasar PKS 1830-211
Sebastien Muller, Michel Guelin, Michael Dumke +2
With the Plateau de Bure interferometer, we have measured the C, N, O and S isotopic abundance ratios in the arm of a spiral galaxy with a redshift of 0.89. The galaxy is seen face…
Coupling the dynamics and the molecular chemistry in the Galactic center
Nemesio Rodriguez-Fernandez, Francoise Combes, Jesus Martin-Pintado +2
The physical conditions of the Galactic center (GC) clouds moving with non-circular velocities are not well-known. We have studied the physical conditions of these clouds with the…
Cold molecular gas in the Perseus cluster core - Association with X-ray cavity, Halpha filaments and cooling flow -
P. Salome, F. Combes, A. C. Edge +7
Cold molecular gas has been recently detected in several cooling flow clusters of galaxies where huge optical nebulosities often stand. These optical filaments are tightly linked t…
Starbursts and AGN Fueling through Secular Evolution
F. Combes
Except in the most extreme cases of nuclear activity, either starbursts or AGN, it is difficult to find observationnally a close link between the dynamics and the activity. Theoret…
Hunt for cold H2 molecules
F. Combes
The bulk of the molecular component in galaxies is made of cold H2, which is not observed directly, but which abundance is derived from indirect tracers such as CO emission. The CO…
Stellar kinematics for the central spheroid in the Polar Disk Galaxy NGC4650A
E. Iodice, M. Arnaboldi, R. P. Saglia +7
We have obtained high angular resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra of the Calcium triplet absorption lines on the photometric axes of the stellar spheroid in the polar disk gal…
AMIGA: Very low environment galaxies in the local Universe
S. Verley, F. Combes, L. Verdes-Montenegro +8
The evolutionary history of galaxies is thought to be strongly conditioned by the environment. In order to quantify and set limits on the role of nurture one must identify and stud…
CO(2-1) large scale mapping of the Perseus cluster core with HERA
Philippe Salomé, Francoise Combes
Cold molecular gas has recently been found is several cooling flow clusters cores with single dish telescopes. High spatial resolution imaging of some of these clusters then reveal…
