High spatial resolution mid - infrared spectroscopy of the starburst galaxies NGC 3256 , II Zw 40 and Henize 2 - 10 ⋆
Aims. In order to show the importance of high spatial resolution observations of extra-galactic sources when compared to observations obtained with larger apertures such as ISO, we present N-band spectra (8–13 µm) of some locations in three starburst galaxies. In particular, the two galactic nuclei of the spiral galaxy NGC 3256, the compact IR supernebula in the dwarf galaxy II Zw 40 and the tw...
متن کاملIntegral field near - infrared spectroscopy of II Zw 40 ?
We present integral field spectroscopy in the near-infrared of the nearby starburst galaxy II Zw 40. Our new observations provide an unprecedented detailed view of the interstellar medium and star formation of this galaxy. The radiation emitted by the galaxy is dominated by a giant HII region, which extends over an area of more than 400 pc in size. A few clusters are present in this area, howev...
متن کاملPeculiar Chemical Abundances in the Starburst Galaxy M82 and Hypernova Nucleosynthesis
X-ray observations have shown that the chemical abundance in the starburst galaxy M82 is quite rich in Si and S compared with oxygen. Such an abundance pattern cannot be explained with any combination of conventional Type I and II supernova yields. Also the energy to heavy element mass ratio of the observed hot plasma is much higher than the value resulted from normal supernovae. We calculate e...
متن کاملStarburst in multiple galaxy mergers
We numerically investigate stellar and gaseous dynamical evolution of mergers between five identical late-type disk galaxies with the special emphasis on star formation history and chemical evolution of multiple galaxy mergers. We found that multiple encounter and merging can trigger repetitive massive starbursts (typically ∼ 100 M yr−1) owing to the strong tidal disturbance and the resultant g...
متن کاملHco + in the Starburst Galaxy M82
We report observations and an analysis of the distribution of HCO + (1-0) and HCO + (4-3) emission in the central 1 kpc star forming region of M82. Comparisons are made with other star formation indicators such as the mm continuum, the distribution of radio SNR's and the molecules CO and OH. In a broad sense, the HCO + is distributed in a way similar to the CO, although there are noticeable dif...
