High - Spatial - Resolution , near - Infrared Observations of Arp 220

چکیده

High-spatial-resolution slit scans of the nucleus of Arp 220 are presented along with near-infrared photometry of the nuclear region. A single nucleus is found coincident with the strongest radio peak. The core is resolved to be on the order of 1" (370 pc) in diameter. The photometry of the central region shows a minimum near 3.7 ¡im which is inconsistent with the near-infrared source being a “classical” nonthermal source, such as 3C 273, embedded in a dust cloud.

High Spatial Resolution Imaging of Arp 220 from 3 -25 Μm *

Images of Arp 220 from 3.45 to 24.5 μm with 0.5 resolution are presented which clearly separate the nucleus into at least two components. The western component is about three times more luminous than the eastern component, but the silicate absorption in the fainter, eastern component is roughly 50% greater than the absorption in the western component. Each component is marginally resolved. The ...

OPTICALLY FAINT COUNTERPARTS TO THE ISO-FIRBACK 170μm POPULATION: THE DISCOVERY OF COLD, LUMINOUS GALAXIES AT HIGH REDSHIFT

We present Keck spectroscopy and UKIRT near-IR imaging observations of two 170μm-selected sources from the ISO-FIRBACK survey which have faint counterparts in the optical, and r − K ∼ 5. Both sources were expected to lie at z > 1 based on their far-infrared, submillimeter and radio fluxes, assuming a similar spectral energy distribution to the local ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) Arp 22...

Sub - arcsecond CO ( 1 – 0 ) and CO ( 2 – 1 ) observations of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 10190 + 1322 ⋆

We present the results of high resolution mapping of the CO(1–0) and CO(2–1) emission of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) IRAS 10190+1322, with the IRAM interferometer, down to an angular resolution of ∼0.3 ′′. This object is composed of two interacting galaxies with a projected nuclear separation of 6 kpc, and was selected to analyze the physical and dynamical properties of the molecu...

Images of Arp 220 from 3.45 to 24.5 km with resolution are presented that clearly separate the 0A.5 nucleus into at least two components. The western component is about 3 times more luminous than the eastern component, but the silicate absorption in the fainter, eastern component is roughly 50% greater than the absorption in the western component. Each component is marginally resolved. The two ...
