1 M ay 2 00 9 Radio source feedback in galaxy evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a galaxy evolution model which incorporates a physically motivated implementation of AGN feedback. Intermittent jets inflate cocoons of radio plasma which then expand supersonically, shock heating the ambient gas. The model reproduces observed star formation histories to the highest redshifts for which reliable data exists, as well as the observed galaxy colour bimodality. Intermittent radio source feedback also naturally provides a way of keeping the black hole and spheroid growth in step. We find possible evidence for a top-heavy Initial Mass Function (IMF) for z > 2, consistent with observations of element abundances, and sub-mm and Lyman break galaxy counts. Subject headings: galaxies: evolution — galaxies: formation — galaxies: active

We report the discovery of a new two-image gravitational lens system from the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey, CLASS B2319+051. Radio imaging with the Very Large Array (VLA) and Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) shows two compact components with a flux density ratio of ≃ 5:1, separated by 1. ′′ 36. Observations with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) resolve each of the rad...

We present high-resolution imaging in the rest-frame optical of the weak radio source LBDS53W091. Previous optical spectroscopy has shown that this object has an evolved stellar population of age > 3Gyr at z = 1.55, determined from the amplitude of rest-frame UV spectral breaks. We have obtained deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging over 10 orbits with NICMOS camera 2, using the F160W H-band filt...

We report the Chandra detection of shock-heated shells of hot gas surrounding the radio lobes of the nearby (D L ∼ 53 Mpc) low-power radio galaxy NGC 3801. The shells have temperatures of 1 keV and 0.7 keV, compared to an ISM temperature of 0.23 keV. The estimated expansion speed of the shells is ∼ 850 km s −1 , corresponding to a Mach number of ∼ 4. This is the second X-ray detection of strong...

We have made subarcsecond-resolution images of the central 10 of the Wolf-Rayet dwarf galaxy He 2-10 at 11.7 microns, using the Long Wavelength Spectrometer on the Keck Telescope. The spatial distribution of the infrared emission roughly agrees with that of the rising spectrum radio sources seen by Kobulnicky & Johnson (1999) and confirms that those sources are compact HII regions rather than S...

Radio continuum observations are a probe of star formation in galaxies, and are unaffected by dust extinction. Observations of the distant rich cluster Cl 0939+4713 have detected radio galaxies classified as post-starburst (“k+a”) on the basis of their optical spectra, and presumably this situation arises from heavily dust-obscured star formation (Smail et al. 1999). We present the results of a...
