Molecular Gas Concentrations Outside the Merging Disks
We present our preliminary BIMA CO(1-0) images of II Zw 96 which show huge molecular gas concentrations outside the merging disks. The dominant extra-disk CO concentrations in II Zw 96 correspond to the two star-forming “knots” hidden by dust, whereas the others are associated with the two spiral disks. The unique huge CO concentrations, > ∼5 kpc away from the merging nuclei, account for > ∼50%...
متن کاملTracing Molecular Gas in the Andromeda Galaxy
We present results from an Andromeda Galaxy (M31) survey of star-forming regions based on 24 μm luminosity for H2O masers, NH3(1,1) and NH3(2,2) lines, and Hydrogen recombination lines (H66α). Although five H2O masers were detected in the initial survey of 206 regions towards M31, we do not detect additional masers in a follow up survey of 300 similar luminous 24 μm regions. We do not detect NH...
متن کاملMolecular gas in the Andromeda galaxy
We present a new 12CO(J=1–0)–line survey of the Andromeda galaxy, M 31, with the highest resolution to date (23, or 85 pc along the major axis), observed On-the-Fly with the IRAM 30-m telescope. We mapped an area of about 2 ×0. 5 which was tightly sampled on a grid of 9 with a velocity resolution of 2.6 km s−1. The r.m.s. noise in the velocity-integrated map is around 0.35 K km s−1 on the Tmb-s...
متن کاملGalaxy Disks
The disks of disk galaxies contain a substantial fraction of their baryonic matter and angular momentum, and much of the evolutionary activity in these galaxies, such as the formation of stars, spiral arms, bars and rings, and the various forms of secular evolution, takes place in their disks. The formation and evolution of galactic disks are therefore particularly important for understanding h...
متن کاملThe Formation of Galaxy Disks
Galaxy disk formation must incorporate the multiphase nature of the interstellar medium. The resulting two-phase structure is generated and maintained by gravitational instability and supernova energy input, which yield a source of turbulent viscosity that is able to effectively compete in the protodisk phase with early angular momentum loss of the baryonic component via dynamical friction in t...
