Massive compact galaxies with high-velocity outflows : Morphological analysis and constraints on AGN activity
Sell, P. H.; Tremonti, C. A.; Hickox, R. C.; Diamond-Stanic, A. M.; Moustakas, J.; Coil, A.; Williams, A.; Rudnick, G.; Robaina, A.; Geach, J. E.; Heinz, S.; Wilcots, E. M. (2014-07-11)We investigate the process of rapid star formation quenching in a sample of 12 massive galaxies at intermediate redshift (z ~ 0.6) that host high-velocity ionized gas outflows (v > 1000 km s-1). We conclude that these fast ... -
A redline starburst: CO(2-1) observations of an Eddington-limited galaxy reveal star formation at its most extreme
Geach, J. E.; Hickox, R. C.; Diamond-Stanic, A. M.; Krips, M.; Moustakas, J.; Tremonti, C. A.; Coil, A. L.; Sell, P. H.; Rudnick, G. H. (2013-04-10)We report observations of the CO(2-1) emission of SDSS J1506+54, a compact (r(e) approximate to 135 pc) starburst galaxy at z = 0.6. SDSS J1506+ 54 appears to be forming stars close to the limit allowed by stellar radiation ... -
Stellar feedback as the origin of an extended molecular outflow in a starburst galaxy
Geach, James; Hickox, R. C.; Diamond-Stanic, A. M.; Krips, M.; Rudnick, G. H.; Tremonti, C. A.; Sell, P. H.; Coil, A. L.; Moustakas, J. (2014-12-04)Recent observations have revealed that starburst galaxies can drive molecular gas outflows through stellar radiation pressure. Molecular gas is the phase of the interstellar medium from which stars form, so these outflows ...
