  • The Triggering of Starbursts in Low-Mass Galaxies

Soc. 000, 000{000 (0000) Printed 28 September 2018 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) The triggering of starbursts in low-mass galaxies Federico Lelli1;2 ?, Marc Verheijen2, Filippo Fraternali3;1 1Department of Astronomy, Case Western Reserve University, 10900 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106, USA 2Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, University of Groningen, Postbus 800, 9700 AV, Groningen, The Netherlands 3Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Bologna, via Berti Pichat 6/2, 40127, Bologna, Italy ABSTRACT Strong bursts of star formation in galaxies may be triggered either by internal or ex- ternal mechanisms. We study the distribution and kinematics of the H I gas in the outer regions of 18 nearby starburst dwarf galaxies, that have accurate star-formation histories from HST observations of resolved stellar populations. We find that star- burst dwarfs show a variety of H I morphologies, ranging from heavily disturbed H I distributions with major asymmetries, long filaments, and/or H I-stellar offsets, to lop- sided H I distributions with minor asymmetries. We quantify the outer H I asymmetry for both our sample and a control sample of typical dwarf irregulars. Starburst dwarfs have more asymmetric outer H I morphologies than typical irregulars, suggesting that some external mechanism triggered the starburst. Moreover, galaxies hosting an old burst (&100 Myr) have more symmetric H I morphologies than galaxies hosting a young one (.100 Myr), indicating that the former ones probably had enough time to regularize their outer H I distribution since the onset of the burst. We also investigate the nearby environment of these starburst dwarfs and find that most of them (∼80%) have at least one potential perturber at a projected distance .200 kpc.

  • The Eldorado Star Party 2017 Telescope Observing Club by Bill Flanagan Houston Astronomical Society
    The Eldorado Star Party 2017 Telescope Observing Club by Bill Flanagan Houston Astronomical Society Purpose and Rules Welcome to the Annual ESP Telescope Club! The main purpose of this club is to give you an opportunity to observe some of the showpiece objects of the fall season under the pristine skies of Southwest Texas. In addition, we have included a few items on the observing lists that may challenge you to observe some fainter and more obscure objects that present themselves at their very best under the dark skies of the Eldorado Star Party. The rules are simple; just observe the required number of objects listed while you are at the Eldorado Star Party to receive a club badge. Big & Bright The telescope program, “Big & Bright,” is a list of 30 objects. This observing list consists of some objects that are apparently big and/or bright and some objects that are intrinsically big and/or bright. Of course the apparently bright objects will be easy to find and should be fun to observe under the dark sky conditions at the X-Bar Ranch. Observing these bright objects under the dark skies of ESP will permit you to see a lot of detail that is not visible under light polluted skies. Some of the intrinsically big and bright objects may be more challenging because at the extreme distance of these objects they will appear small and dim. Nonetheless the challenge of hunting them down and then pondering how far away and energetic they are can be just as rewarding as observing the brighter, easier objects on the list.

An Abstract of High Mass X-ray Binaries in Nearby Star-forming Galaxies by Blagoy Rangelov Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Physics The University of Toledo August 2012 High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs), in which a compact object, either black hole or neutron star, is accreting material from a young, massive donor star, often dominate the high-energy emission from nearby star-forming galaxies. These high mass pairs are believed to form in star clusters, where most massive star formation takes place, but to become displaced from their parent clusters either because they are dynamically ejected or because their parent cluster has dissolved. We have con- ducted a systematic study of the formation and evolution of bright HMXBs in eight nearby galaxies, by detecting HMXBs from their X-ray emission in Chandra X-ray Observatory observations, and identifying their parent clusters and donor stars in optical observations taken with the Hubble Space Telescope.

  • A NEW HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DISTANCE to NGC 1569: STARBURST PROPERTIES and IC 342 GROUP MEMBERSHIP Aaron J
    Astrophysical Journal Letters, submitted, July 2008 A Preprint typeset using LTEX style emulateapj v. 03/07/07 A NEW HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DISTANCE TO NGC 1569: STARBURST PROPERTIES AND IC 342 GROUP MEMBERSHIP Aaron J. Grocholski2, Alessandra Aloisi2,3, Roeland P. van der Marel2, Jennifer Mack2, Francesca Annibali2, Luca Angeretti4, Laura Greggio5, Enrico V. Held5, Donatella Romano4, Marco Sirianni2,3,Monica Tosi4 Astrophysical Journal Letters, submitted, July 2008 ABSTRACT We present deep HST ACS/WFC photometry of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569, one of the closest and strongest nearby starburst galaxies. These data allow us, for the first time, to unequivocally detect the tip of the red giant branch and thereby determine the distance to NGC 1569. We find that this galaxy is 3.36±0.20 Mpc away, considerably farther away than the typically assumed distance of 2.2±0.6 Mpc. Previously thought to be an isolated galaxy due to its shorter distance, our new distance firmly establishes NGC 1569 as a member of the IC 342 group of galaxies. The higher density environment may help explain the starburst nature of NGC 1569, since starbursts are often triggered by galaxy interactions. On the other hand, the longer distance implies that NGC 1569 is an even more extreme starburst galaxy than previously believed. Previous estimates of the rate of star formation for stars younger than . 1 Gyr become stronger by more than a factor of 2. Stars older than this were not constrained by previous studies. The dynamical masses of NGC 1569’s three super star clusters, which are already known as some of the most massive ever discovered, increase by ∼53% 5 to 6-7×10 M⊙.

  • THE ULTRALUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCE POPULATION from the CHANDRA ARCHIVE of GALAXIES Douglas A

THE ULTRALUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCE POPULATION FROM THE CHANDRA ARCHIVE OF GALAXIES Douglas A. Swartz,1 Kajal K. Ghosh,1 Allyn F. Tennant,2 and Kinwah Wu3 Receivved 2003 Novvember 19; accepted 2004 May 24 ABSTRACT One hundred fifty-four discrete non-nuclear ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources, with spectroscopically de- termined intrinsic X-ray luminosities greater than 1039 ergs sÀ1, are identified in 82 galaxies observed with Chandra’s Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer. Source positions, X-ray luminosities, and spectral and timing characteristics are tabulated. Statistical comparisons between these X-ray properties and those of the weaker discrete sources in the same fields (mainly neutron star and stellar-mass black hole binaries) are made. Sources above 1038 ergs sÀ1 display similar spatial, spectral, color, and variability distributions. In particular, there is no compelling evidence in the sample for a new and distinct class of X-ray object such as the intermediate-mass black holes. Eighty-three percent of ULX candidates have spectra that can be described as absorbed power laws 21 À2 with index hÀi¼1:74 and column density hNHi¼2:24 ; 10 cm ,or5 times the average Galactic column. About 20% of the ULXs have much steeper indices indicative of a soft, and likely thermal, spectrum. The locations of ULXs in their host galaxies are strongly peaked toward their galaxy centers. The deprojected radial distribution of the ULX candidates is somewhat steeper than an exponential disk, indistinguishable from that of the weaker sources.

Shopbell Department of Astronomy, California Institute of Technology, mail code 105-24, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA Donald K. Walter Department of Physical Sciences, South Carolina State University, Orangeburg, 8C29117, USA Abstract. We present the results and analysis of HST-WFPc2 imagery of the starburst galaxy NGe 1569 (d= 2.2 Mpc), which permit unprecedented resolu- tion (rv1pc) of the ionized gas and stellar population. The primary data in our analysis consists of images taken through narrow-band filters isolating H,8, Ho:, [OIII]'x5007, and [Sn]'x'x6717+30, as part of GO program 8133. A variety of color-coded and grey-scaled maps of the morphology, ionization structure, and dust distribution are presented. Unsharp masks of the Ho images show a very chaotic structure for the ionized gas, with numerous filaments and arc-like bright rim features across the entire galaxy, but without significant large-scale ionization variations. Variations in the ionization and line-of-sight reddening occur on smaller scales (rv10- 50pc), with numerous low-ionization semi-stellar knots seen throughout the main body of the galaxy, even within the 'hole' in the ionized gas distribution around the central super star clusters previously noted from H I maps. Several of these features have strong [8II] emission in- dicative of being supernova remnants.

  • On the Association Between Core-Collapse Supernovae and Hii
    Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 1–38 (2012) Printed 10 October 2018 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) On the association between core-collapse supernovae and H ii regions Paul A. Crowther ⋆ Dept of Physics & Astronomy, University of Sheffield, Hicks Building, Hounsfield Rd, Sheffield, S3 7RH, United Kingdom 10 October 2018 ABSTRACT Previous studies of the location of core-collapse supernovae (ccSNe) in their host galaxies have variously claimed an association with H ii regions; no association; or an association only with hydrogen-deficient ccSNe. Here, we examine the immediate environments of 39 ccSNe whose positions are well known in nearby (≤15 Mpc), low inclination (≤65◦) hosts using mostly archival, continuum-subtracted Hα ground-based imaging. We find that 11 out of 29 hydrogen-rich ccSNe are spatially associated with H ii regions (38 ± 11%), versus 7 out of 10 hydrogen-poorccSNe (70 ± 26%). Similar results from Andersonet al. led to an interpretation that the progenitors of type Ib/c ccSNe are more massive than those of type II ccSNe. Here, we quantify the luminosities of H ii region either coincident with, or nearby to the ccSNe. Characteristic nebulae are long-lived (∼20 Myr) giant H ii regions rather than short-lived (∼4 Myr) isolated, compact H ii regions. Therefore, the absence of a H ii region from most type II ccSNe merely reflects the longer lifetime of stars with /12 M⊙ than giant H ii regions. Conversely, the association of a H ii region with most type Ib/c ccSNe is due to the shorter lifetime of stars with >12 M⊙ stars than the duty cycle of giant H ii regions.

Weaver.4 ABSTRACT We present arcsecond resolution Chandra X-ray and ground-based optical Hα imaging of a sample of ten edge-on star-forming disk galaxies (seven starburst and three “normal” spiral galaxies), a sample which covers the full range of star-formation intensity found in disk galaxies. The X-ray observations make use of the unprecedented spatial resolution of the Chandra X-ray observatory to more robustly than before remove X-ray emission from point sources, and hence obtain the X-ray properties of the diffuse thermal emission alone. We have combined the X-ray observations with existing, comparable-resolution, ground-based Hα and R-band imaging, and present a mini-atlas of images on a common spatial and surface brightness scale to aid cross-comparison. In general, the morphology of the extra-planar diffuse X-ray emission is very similar to the extra-planar Hα filaments and arcs, on both small and large scales (scales of 10’s of pc and kiloparsecs respectively). The most spectacular cases of this are found in NGC 1482 (for which we provide the first published X-ray observation) and NGC 3079. We provide a variety of quantitative measures of how the spectral hardness and surface brightness of the diffuse X-ray emission varies with increasing height z above the plane of each galaxy.
