The Evolution of Gas and Star Formation from z=3 to z=0
F. Combes, the PHIBSS collaboration
The cosmic star formation rate density first increases with time towards a pronounced peak 10 Gyrs ago (or z=1-2) and then slows down, dropping by more than a factor 10 since z=1.…
A precessing molecular jet signaling an obscured, growing supermassive black hole in NGC1377?
S. Aalto, F. Costagliola, S. Muller +11
With high resolution (0."25 x 0."18) ALMA CO 3-2 observations of the nearby (D=21 Mpc, 1"=102 pc), extremely radio-quiet galaxy NGC1377, we have discovered a high-velocity, very co…
Environmental regulation of cloud and star formation in galactic bars
F. Renaud, F. Bournaud, E. Emsellem +7
The strong time-dependence of the dynamics of galactic bars yields a complex and rapidly evolving distribution of dense gas and star forming regions. Although bars mainly host regi…
Estimating non-circular motions in barred galaxies using numerical N-body simulations
Toky Randriamampandry, Francoise Combes, Claude Carignan +1
The observed velocities of the gas in barred galaxies are a combination of the azimuthally-averaged circular velocity and non-circular motions, primarily caused by gas streaming al…
Constraining star formation rates in cool-core brightest cluster galaxies
Rupal Mittal, John T. Whelan, Francoise Combes
We used broad-band imaging data for 10 cool-core brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and conducted a Bayesian analysis using stellar population synthesis to determine the likely prop…
Probing highly obscured, self-absorbed galaxy nuclei with vibrationally excited HCN
S. Aalto, S. Martin F. Costagliola, E. Gonzalez-Alfonso +16
We present high resolution (0."4) IRAM PdBI and ALMA mm and submm observations of the (ultra) luminous infrared galaxies ((U)LIRGs) IRAS17208-0014, Arp220, IC860 and Zw049.057 that…
