Why z > 1 radio-loud galaxies are commonly located in protoclusters
(2014-11-21)
Distant powerful radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGN) tend to reside in dense environments and are commonly found in proto-clusters at z > 1.3. We examine whether this occurs because RLAGN are hosted by massive galaxies, ...
Constraints on photoevaporation models from (lack of) radio emission in the Corona Australis protoplanetary disks
(2014-10-21)
Photoevaporation due to high-energy stellar photons is thought to be one of the main drivers of protoplanetary disk dispersal. The fully or partially ionized disk surface is expected to produce free-free continuum emission ...
Numerical modelling of the lobes of radio galaxies in cluster environments II : Magnetic field configuration and observability
(2014-09-11)
We describe three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical modelling of powerful radio galaxies in realistic poor cluster environments. This modelling extends our earlier work on the hydrodynamics of radio galaxies as a function ...
The role of major mergers in the size growth of intermediate-mass spheroids
(2014-09-11)
We study of the role of ‘major’ mergers (mass ratios >1: 4) in driving size growth in high-redshift (1 < z < 2) spheroidal galaxies (SGs) with stellar masses between 109.5 and 1010.7 M⊙. This is a largely unexplored mass ...
Light, Alpha, and Fe-Peak Element Abundances in the Galactic Bulge
(2014-09-09)
We present radial velocities and chemical abundances of O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu for a sample of 156 red giant branch stars in two Galactic bulge fields centered near (l,b)=(+5.25,-3.02) and (0,-12). ...
Deep NIR photometry of HI galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance
(2014-09-01)
Current studies of the peculiar velocity flow field in the Local Universe are limited by either the lack of detection or accurate photometry for galaxies at low Galactic latitudes. The contribution to the dynamics of the ...
Detection of molecular gas in an ALMA [CII]-identified Submillimetre Galaxy at z = 4.44
(2014-09-01)
We present the detection of 12CO(2–1) in the z = 4.44 submillimetre galaxy ALESS65.1 using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. A previous Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array study of submillimetre galaxies ...
Some like it cold: molecular emission and effective dust temperatures of dense cores in the Pipe Nebula
(2014-08-08)
Aims. The Pipe Nebula is characterized by a low star-formation rate and is therefore an ideal environment to explore how initial conditions, including core characteristics, affect star-formation efficiencies. Methods. In ...
The importance of minor-merger-driven star formation and black-hole growth in disk galaxies
(2014-06-01)
We use the SDSS Stripe 82 to empirically quantify the stellar-mass and black-hole growth triggered by minor mergers in local spiral (disk) galaxies. Since major mergers destroy disks and create spheroids, morphologically ...
