Infrared 3 D Observations of Nearby Active
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present multi-wavelength imaging observations of three nearby and famous active galaxies obtained with NICMOS, ISOCAM and the MPE near-IR integral field spectrometer. The data reveal a variety of features and properties that are missed in optical studies and in traditional IR monodimensional spectroscopy.

Spatial resolution bias in the mid - infrared Starburst / AGN classification
We present the effects of limited spatial resolution to the observed mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) surrounded by a disk with massive star forming regions. Using MIR observations of the face-on nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 6814, we vary the observing aperture and examine the evolution of the observed AGN/starburst fraction with our MIR diagnostic. We show that th...
متن کاملA Systematic Search for Near-Infrared Counterparts of Nearby Ultraluminous X-ray sources (II)
We present the results of our continued systematic search for near-infrared (NIR) candidate counterparts to ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) within 10 Mpc. We observed 42 ULXs in 24 nearby galaxies and detected NIR candidate counterparts to 15 ULXs. Fourteen of these ULXs appear to have a single candidate counterpart in our images and the remaining ULX has 2 candidate counterparts. Seven ULXs...
متن کاملALMA Explorations of Warm Dense Molecular Gas in Nearby LIRGs
We present results of ALMA (Cycle-0) observations of the CO (6-5) line emission and the 435μm continuum of two nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) NGC 34 (a major merger with an AGN) and NGC 1614 (a minor merger with a circum-nuclear starburst). Using receivers in the highest frequency ALMA band available (Band-9), these observations achieved the best angular resolutions (∼ 0′′.25) for AL...
متن کاملInfrared-red Cores in Nearby Elliptical Galaxies
We present the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) observations for a sample of local elliptical galaxies to study later stages of AGN activities. A sample of 36 elliptical galaxies is selected from the Palomar spectroscopic survey. We detect nuclear non-stellar infrared emission in 9 of them. There is unambiguous evidence of circumnuclear dust in these 9 galaxies in their opti...
متن کاملThe nearby universe observed in far-infrared and in ultraviolet: an analysis of the dust attenuation and the star formation activity
We discuss the dust attenuation and the star formation rates in the nearby universe obtained from a comparison of far-infrared (IRAS) and ultraviolet (GALEX) observations. The ratio of the dust to UV flux ratio is used to derive the dust attenuation: this dust attenuation is found to increase with the luminosity of the galaxies and from z=0 to z=1. The slope of the UV continuum is found to be a...
