Continuum EVN and MERLIN observations of Ultra Luminous Infrared
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radio imaging of ULIR galaxies is ideal to explore the connection between the starburst and the AGN phenomenon since it is unaffected by dust obscuration, and provides the required high angular resolution to distinguish between an AGN and starburst emission. We have made combined 18cm radio continuum, EVN and MERLIN observations of 13 ULIRGs that have the parsec and deci-parsec scale resolution necessary to distinguish between an AGN and supernovae remnants at the centres of these galaxies, and assess the contribution of each to the total energy distribution. Images of four galaxies are presented here.

A detailed study of the nuclear region of Mrk 273
We present 5 GHz EVN+MERLIN observations of the nuclear region of the ultra luminous infrared galaxy Mrk 273. These observations confirms the detection, on the mas scale, of two resolved component labelled as N and SE in the literature. We use published VLBA observations at 1.4 GHz, at the same resolution, to derive spectral index information of component N and SE and discuss these findings in ...
متن کاملEVN and MERLIN confirmation of the LS 5039 jets
The microquasar nature of LS 5039 was revealed by May 1999 VLBA+VLA observations showing a twosided jet at milliarcsecond scales. Here we present follow-up interferometric observations carried out with the EVN and MERLIN at 5 GHz in March 2000. The obtained maps with both the EVN and MERLIN show a two-sided jet with a similar position angle to the previous VLBA+VLA map. The total length of the ...
متن کاملThe B 3 – VLA CSS sample . III : EVN & MERLIN images at 18 cm
EVN and MERLIN observations at 18 cm are presented for 18 Compact Steep–spectrum radio Sources (CSSs) from the B3–VLA CSS sample. These sources were marginally resolved in previous VLA A-configuration observations at 4.9 and 8.4 GHz or had peculiar morphologies, two of them looking like core–jets. The MERLIN images basically confirm the VLA structures at 8.4 GHz while the EVN and/or the combine...
متن کامل3 C 459 : A highly asymmetric radio galaxy with a starburst
Multifrequency radio observations of the radio galaxy 3C459 using MERLIN, VLA and the EVN, and an optical HST image using the F702W filter are presented. The galaxy has a very asymmetric radio structure, a high infrared luminosity and a young stellar population. The eastern component of the double-lobed structure is brighter, much closer to the nucleus and is significantly less polarized than t...
متن کاملContinuum Observations of the High-Redshift Universe at Sub-millimetre Wavelengths
New bolometer arrays operating on the world’s largest submillimetre and millimetre telescopes offer a unique view of the highredshift universe with unprecedented sensitivity. Recent sub-millimetre continuum studies show that the host galaxies of many luminous highredshift active galactic nuclei (radio galaxies and radio-quiet quasars) radiate strongly at rest-frame far-infrared wavelengths and ...
