Calibrating Mid-Infrared Emission Features As Diagnostics of Star Formation in Infrared-Luminous Galaxies via Radiative Transfer Modeling
L. Robinson, D. Farrah, A. Efstathiou +13
Luminous infrared galaxies are key sites of obscured stellar mass assembly at z > 0.5. Their star formation rates (SFRs) are often estimated using the luminosities of the 6.2 micro…
How accurately can obscured galaxy luminosities be measured using spectral energy distribution fitting of near- through far-infrared observations?
Duncan Farrah, Kiana Ejercito, Andreas Efstathiou +23
Infrared-luminous galaxies are important sites of stellar and black hole mass assembly at most redshifts. Their luminosities are often estimated by fitting spectral energy distribu…
Witnessing the violent, merger-driven formation of an extremely massive galaxy 1.7 Gyr after the Big Bang
Lura K. Pitchford, Joseph Cairns, Duncan Farrah +4
We combine near-infrared imaging in two bands from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with archival observations of molecular gas to study SDSS J160705.16+533558.6 (J1607), an extrem…
An ALMA Band 7 survey of SDSS/Herschel quasars in Stripe 82: I. The properties of the 870 micron counterparts
E. Hatziminaoglou, H. Messias, R. Souza +6
(Abridged) Quasar studies with Herschel/SPIRE often report host luminosities ranging from 10^{12} to 10^{14} Lsun, suggestive of star formation rates (SFRs) of up to several thousa…
Molecular Gas Heating, Star Formation Rate Relations, and AGN Feedback in Infrared-luminous Galaxy Mergers
Duncan Farrah, Andreas Efstathiou, Jose Afonso +13
We examine the origin of molecular gas heating in a sample of 42 infrared-luminous galaxies at by combining two sets of archival data. First, integrated CO line luminositie…
The assembly of supermassive black holes at in early-type galaxies from scaling relations
Duncan Farrah, Athena Engholm, Evanthia Hatziminaoglou +14
The assembly of supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass () and stellar mass () in galaxies can be studied via the redshift evolution of the rela…
