Molecular gas in spiral galaxies
The molecular hydrogen content of a galaxy is a key parameter for its activity and future evolution. Its variations with basic properties such as size, mass, morphological type, and environment, the ratio of molecular to atomic gas masses, should provide us with a better view of galaxy evolution. Such studies have been done in the past by Sage (1993a) or the FCRAO group (e.g. Young & Knezek 198...
متن کاملModelling the Seds of Spiral Galaxies
Modelling the UV/optical infrared/submm SEDs of spiral galaxies observed with Herschel will be an essential tool to quantitatively interpret these observations in terms of the present and past star-formation activity of these systems. In this lecture we describe the SED modelling technique we have developed, its applications and tests of its predictions. We show that both the panchromatic SED m...
متن کاملMolecular Gas Kinematics in Barred Spiral Galaxies
To quantify the effect that bar driven mass inflow can have on the evolution of a galaxy requires an understanding of the dynamics of the inflowing gas. In this paper we study the kinematics of the dense molecular gas in a set of seven barred spiral galaxies to determine which dynamical effects dominate. The kinematics are derived from observations of the CO J=(1−0) line made with the Berkeley-...
متن کاملSpiral Molecular Front in Galaxies: Quick Transition from Atomic to Molecular Hydrogen in Spiral Arms
We derived a two-dimensional map of the molecular fraction, fmol, (ratio of the molecular gas density to that of total gas) in the spiral galaxy M51, and examined the behavior of molecular fronts (MF), where MF represents the place where fmol changes drastically from nearly zero to unity and vice versa. We show that the MF phenomenon occurs not only radial, but also in the azimuth direction thr...
متن کاملSpiral waves in accretion discs
In the first part of this article, we review the observational evidence for spirals in the accretion discs of cataclysmic variables. It is shown that with the increasing amount of data available, spirals appear to be an omnipresent feature of accretion discs in outburst. Spirals seem to live until decline that is, for several tens of orbital periods. We then study the formation of spiral shocks...
