Using integral-field spectroscopic data of an archival sample of 51 local AGNs, we estimate the fraction of non-stellar light by comparing the nuclear equivalent width of the stellar 2.3 µm CO absorption feature with the intrinsic value for each galaxy. We compare this fraction to that derived from a spectral decomposition of the integrated light in the central arcsecond and find them to be consistent with each other. Using our estimates of the near-IR AGN light, we find a strong correlation with presumably isotropic AGN tracers. We show that a significant offset exists between type 1 and type 2 sources in the sense that type 1 MIR X sources are 7 (10) times brighter in the near-IR at log LAGN = 42.5 (log LAGN = 42.5). -

Received t SUMMAKT - The gas velocity fields in the barred spiral galaxies NGC 7496 and 289 have been measured by means of long-slit spectra obtained with the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Pronounced deviations fro« circular motion of the type predicted by recent theoretical mooels are seen in NGC 74961 the isovelocity contours are distorted into a characteristic S-shaped pattern and there is a large velocity gradient across the bar. The velocity field is virtually identical to that of a previously observed barred spiral, NGC 5383 for which a number of models have been published. The nuclear [OUI] emission lines are very asymmetric with a wing extending to about 1000 km s-1 to the blue of the systemic velocity; this wing is only faintly seen in the Balmer lines. NGC 289 has a much smaller bar *nd consequently the noncircular motions are less pronounced. The most obvious effect is that the Xinematic major and minor axes are not perpendicular which is a signature of oval distortions. Both galaxies have a mass (within the 10 outermost velocity measurement) of 9 x iO M0 and M/Lß » 6. -
Spiral Galaxy HI Models, Rotation Curves and Kinematic Classifications
Spiral galaxy HI models, rotation curves and kinematic classifications Theresa B. V. Wiegert A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Physics & Astronomy University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Canada 2010 Copyright (c) 2010 by Theresa B. V. Wiegert Abstract Although galaxy interactions cause dramatic changes, galaxies also continue to form stars and evolve when they are isolated. The dark matter (DM) halo may influence this evolu- tion since it generates the rotational behaviour of galactic disks which could affect local conditions in the gas. Therefore we study neutral hydrogen kinematics of non-interacting, nearby spiral galaxies, characterising their rotation curves (RC) which probe the DM halo; delineating kinematic classes of galaxies; and investigating relations between these classes and galaxy properties such as disk size and star formation rate (SFR). To generate the RCs, we use GalAPAGOS (by J. Fiege). My role was to test and help drive the development of this software, which employs a powerful genetic algorithm, con- straining 23 parameters while using the full 3D data cube as input. The RC is here simply described by a tanh-based function which adequately traces the global RC behaviour. Ex- tensive testing on artificial galaxies show that the kinematic properties of galaxies with inclination > 40 ◦, including edge-on galaxies, are found reliably. Using a hierarchical clustering algorithm on parametrised RCs from 79 galaxies culled from literature generates a preliminary scheme consisting of five classes. These are based on three parameters: maximum rotational velocity, turnover radius and outer slope of the RC. -

Tsvetanov9, ABSTRACT We investigate the central regions of 23 spiral galaxies using archival NICMOS imag- ing and STIS spectroscopy. The sample is taken from our program to determine the masses of central massive black holes (MBH) in 54 nearby spiral galaxies. Stars are likely to contribute significantly to any dynamical central mass concentration that we find in our MBH program and this paper is part of a series to investigate the nuclear properties of these galaxies. We use the Nuker law to fit surface brightness profiles, derived from the NICMOS images, to look for nuclear star clusters and find possible extended sources in 3 of the 23 galaxies studied (13 per cent). The fact that this fraction is lower than that inferred from optical Hubble Space Telescope studies is probably due to the greater spatial resolution of those studies. Using R-H and J-H colors and equiv- alent widths of Hα emission (from the STIS spectra) we investigate the nature of the stellar population with evolutionary models. Under the assumption of hot stars ionizing the gas, as opposed to a weak AGN, we find that there are young stellar populations (∼10–20 Myr) however these data do not allow us to determine what percentage of the 1Centre for Astrophysical Research, STRI, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 9AB, UK. -
Deep Submillimeter Images of NGC 7331; Dust at the Periphery of Spiral Disks

We present deep 450 and 850 µm SCUBA images of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 7331. Using the submillimeter emissivity inferred from COBE observations of Milky Way dust, we convert our SCUBA images into maps of optical depth. The opacity derived in this way is quite low at the visible limit of NGC 7331 (τB ≤ 0.22 at the R25 radius for the disk seen face-on). In a similar fashion, we exploit SCUBA and ISOPHOT images of a further 10 galaxies and, collectively, these data indicate τB =0.1–0.2attheR25 radius. Our constraints on disk opacity are fed into a simulation of how light emanating from high redshifts is attenuated by foreground spirals. In making this calculation, we consider the possibility that galactic disks may have also contained different dust masses in the past. We estimate that less than 10% of the light emitted by Hubble Deep Field galaxies fails to reach the B-band observer due to intervening spirals. Key words.

The Hα survey atlas and catalog J. Rossa ??1,2 and R.–J. Dettmar1 1 Astronomisches Institut, Ruhr–Universit¨at Bochum, D–44780 Bochum, Germany e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2 Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218, U.S.A. (present address) Received 14 February 2003 / Accepted 6 May 2003 Abstract. In this second paper on the investigation of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas in nearby edge–on spiral galaxies we present the actual results of the individual galaxies of our Hα imaging survey. A grand total of 74 galaxies have been studied, including the 9 galaxies of a recently studied sub–sample (Rossa & Dettmar 2000). 40.5% of all studied galaxies reveal extraplanar diffuse ionized gas, whereas in 59.5% of the survey galaxies no extraplanar diffuse ionized gas could be detected. The average distances of this extended emission above the galactic midplane range from 1–2 kpc, while individual filaments in a few galaxies reach distances of up to |z| ∼ 6 kpc. In several cases a pervasive layer of ionized gas was detected, similar to the Reynolds layer in our Milky Way, while other galaxies reveal only extended emission locally. The morphology of the diffuse ionized gas is discussed for each galaxy and is compared with observations of other important ISM constituents in the context of the disk–halo connection, in those cases where published results were available. -
Understanding the H2/HI Ratio in Galaxies 3
Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 394, 1857–1874 (2009) Printed 6 August 2021 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) Understanding the H2/HI Ratio in Galaxies D. Obreschkow and S. Rawlings Astrophysics, Department of Physics, University of Oxford, Keble Road, Oxford, OX1 3RH, UK Accepted 2009 January 12 ABSTRACT galaxy We revisit the mass ratio Rmol between molecular hydrogen (H2) and atomic hydrogen (HI) in different galaxies from a phenomenological and theoretical viewpoint. First, the local H2- mass function (MF) is estimated from the local CO-luminosity function (LF) of the FCRAO Extragalactic CO-Survey, adopting a variable CO-to-H2 conversion fitted to nearby observa- 5 1 tions. This implies an average H2-density ΩH2 = (6.9 2.7) 10− h− and ΩH2 /ΩHI = 0.26 0.11 ± · galaxy ± in the local Universe. Second, we investigate the correlations between Rmol and global galaxy properties in a sample of 245 local galaxies. Based on these correlations we intro- galaxy duce four phenomenological models for Rmol , which we apply to estimate H2-masses for galaxy each HI-galaxy in the HIPASS catalog. The resulting H2-MFs (one for each model for Rmol ) are compared to the reference H2-MF derived from the CO-LF, thus allowing us to determine the Bayesian evidence of each model and to identify a clear best model, in which, for spi- galaxy ral galaxies, Rmol negatively correlates with both galaxy Hubble type and total gas mass. galaxy Third, we derive a theoretical model for Rmol for regular galaxies based on an expression for their axially symmetric pressure profile dictating the degree of molecularization. -
