LeMMINGs. II. The e-MERLIN legacy survey of nearby galaxies. The deepest radio view of the Palomar sample on parsec scale
(2020-11-17)
We present the second data release of high-resolution ($\leq0.2$ arcsec) 1.5-GHz radio images of 177 nearby galaxies from the Palomar sample, observed with the e-MERLIN array, as part of the LeMMINGs (Legacy e-MERLIN ...
MeerKAT HI commissioning observations of MHONGOOSE galaxy ESO 302-G014
(2020-09-22)
We present the results of three commissioning HI observations obtained with the MeerKAT radio telescope. These observations make up part of the preparation for the forthcoming MHONGOOSE nearby galaxy survey, which is a ...
JINGLE - IV. Dust, HI gas and metal scaling laws in the local Universe
(2020-06-02)
Scaling laws of dust, H i gas and metal mass with stellar mass, specific star formation rate and metallicity are crucial to our understanding of the buildup of galaxies through their enrichment with metals and dust. In ...
The curious activity in the nucleus of NGC 4151 : jet interaction causing variability?
(2020-05-04)
A key characteristic of many active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is their variability, but its origin is poorly understood, especially in the radio domain. Williams et al. (2017) reported a ∼50 per cent increase in peak flux ...
Calibrating the relation of low-frequency radio continuum to star formation rate at 1 kpc scale with LOFAR
(2018-10-15)
Radio continuum (RC) emission in galaxies allows us to measure star formation rates (SFRs) unaffected by extinction due to dust, of which the low-frequency part is uncontaminated from thermal (free-free) emission. We ...
Exploring the making of a galactic wind in the star-bursting dwarf irregular galaxy IC 10 with LOFAR
(2018-05-11)
Low-mass galaxies are subject to strong galactic outflows, in which cosmic rays may play an important role; they can be best traced with low-frequency radio continuum observations, which are less affected by spectral ageing. ...
Abell 1367: a high fraction of late-type galaxies displaying HI morphological and kinematic perturbations
(2018-04-21)
To investigate the effects the cluster environment has on late-type galaxies (LTGs), we studied HI perturbation signatures for all Abell 1367 LTGs with HI detections. We used new Very Large Array HI observations combined ...
Radio jets in NGC 4151 where eMERLIN meets HST
(2017-12-21)
We present high-sensitivity eMERLIN radio images of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 at 1.5 GHz. We compare the new eMERLIN images to those from archival MERLIN observations in 1993 to determine the change in jet morphology in ...
Molecular gas and star formation in the Tidal Dwarf Galaxy VCC 2062
(2016-06-01)
The physical mechanisms driving star formation (SF) in galaxies are still not fully understood. Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs), made of gas ejected during galaxy interactions, seem to be devoid of dark matter and have a ...
High star formation rates in turbulent atomic-dominated gas in the interacting galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207
(2016-05-20)
CO observations of the interacting galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207 are combined with HI, Halpha and 24 microns to study the star formation rate (SFR) surface density as a function of the gas surface density. More than half ...
