  • The X-Ray Background and the ROSAT Deep Surveys
    THE X–RAY BACKGROUND AND THE ROSAT DEEP SURVEYS G. HASINGER Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam, An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam, Germany E-mail : [email protected] G. ZAMORANI Osservatorio Astronomico, Via Zamboni 33, Bologna, 40126, Italy E-mail: [email protected] In this article we review the measurements and understanding of the X-ray back- ground (XRB), discovered by Giacconi and collaborators 35 years ago. We start from the early history and the debate whether the XRB is due to a single, homo- geneous physical process or to the summed emission of discrete sources, which was finally settled by COBE and ROSAT. We then describe in detail the progress from ROSAT deep surveys and optical identifications of the faint X-ray source popula- tion. In particular we discuss the role of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) as dominant contributors for the XRB, and argue that so far there is no need to postulate a hypothesized new population of X-ray sources. The recent advances in the under- standing of X-ray spectra of AGN is reviewed and a population synthesis model, based on the unified AGN schemes, is presented. This model is so far the most promising to explain all observational constraints. Future sensitive X-ray surveys in the harder X-ray band will be able to unambiguously test this picture. 1 Introduction It is a heavy responsibility for us, as it would be for everybody else, to write a paper on the X–ray Deep Surveys and the X–ray background (XRB) for this book, in honour of Riccardo Giacconi.

One revelation is there is a strong connection between the growth of black holes and the birth of stars. Previously, astronomers had done careful studies of the birthrate of stars in galaxies but didn't know as much about the black holes at their centers. "These galaxies lose material into their central black holes at the same time they make their stars," Barger said. "So whatever mechanism governs star formation in galaxies also governs black hole growth." Astronomers made an accurate census of both the biggest, active black holes in the distance, and the The very largest black holes reach a certain point relatively smaller, calmer ones closer to Earth. and then grow no more.

  • Draft181 182Chapter 10
    Chapter 10 Formation and evolution of the Local Group 480 Myr <t< 13.7 Gyr; 10 >z> 0; 30 K > T > 2.725 K The fact that the [G]alactic system is a member of a group is a very fortunate accident. Edwin Hubble, The Realm of the Nebulae Summary: The Local Group (LG) is the group of galaxies gravitationally associ- ated with the Galaxy and M 31. Galaxies within the LG have overcome the general expansion of the universe. There are approximately 75 galaxies in the LG within a 12 diameter of ∼3 Mpc having a total mass of 2-5 × 10 M⊙. A strong morphology- density relation exists in which gas-poor dwarf spheroidals (dSphs) are preferentially found closer to the Galaxy/M 31 than gas-rich dwarf irregulars (dIrrs). This is often promoted as evidence of environmental processes due to the massive Galaxy and M 31 driving the evolutionary change between dwarf galaxy types. High Veloc- ity Clouds (HVCs) are likely to be either remnant gas left over from the formation of the Galaxy, or associated with other galaxies that have been tidally disturbed by the Galaxy. Our Galaxy halo is about 12 Gyr old. A thin disk with ongoing star formation and older thick disk built by z ≥ 2 minor mergers exist. The Galaxy and M 31 will merge in 5.9 Gyr and ultimately resemble an elliptical galaxy. The LG has −1 vLG = 627 ± 22 km s with respect to the CMB. About 44% of the LG motion is due to the infall into the region of the Great Attractor, and the remaining amount of motion is due to more distant overdensities between 130 and 180 h−1 Mpc, primarily the Shapley supercluster.

In the intervening years the Journal has undergone a variety of changes. In 1970 the National Newsletter was published along with the Journal, being bound with the regular pages of the Journal. In 1978 the National Newsletter was physically separated but still included with the Journal, and in 1989 it became simply the Newsletter/Bulletin and in 1991 the Bulletin. That continued until the eventual merger of the two publications into the new Journal in 1997.

Burton Leiden Observatory Postbus 9513, NL-2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 1 Abstract Our Galaxy blocks a significant portion of the extragalactic sky from view, hampering studies of large-scale structure. This produces an incom- plete knowledge of the distribution of galaxies, and, assuming galaxies trace mass, of the gravity field. Further, just one unrecognized, nearby massive galaxy could have large influence over the Milky Way’s motion with respect to the Cosmic Microwave Background. Diligent surveys in the optical and infrared wavebands can find galaxies through moderate Galactic gas and dust, but close to the Galactic Plane, only radio surveys are effective. The entire northern Zone of Avoidance is being searched at 21 cm for galaxies using the Dwingeloo 25-m telescope.

THE LOCAL GROUP: THE SOLAR MOTION RELATIVE TO ITS CENTROID A. Yahil,* G. A. Tammann, and Allan Sandage Hale Observatories, Carnegie Institution of Washington, California Institute of Technology Received 1976 October 29; accepted 1977 April 29 ABSTRACT A new solution for the motion of the local standard of rest (LSR) relative to the centroid of the Local Group (LG) of galaxies, based on 21 cm redshifts for a number of candidates, gives i;(LSR) = 300 km s_1 toward / = 107°, b = —8°. Three other solutions are given using different precepts for membership within the LG. This motion of the LSR corresponds to a best-fit -1 o solar motion relative to the LG centroid of ^(0) = 308 km s toward / = 105°, b = —I . Consideration of the velocity residuals from the ridge-line solution of each candidate galaxy shows that the sometimes-mentioned galaxies IC 342, NGC 6946, NGC 404, and Maffei 1 and 2 are certainly not members. Likely members, on the basis of the kinematics alone, are IC 10, Pegasus dwarf, WLM, DDO 210, Leo A, and IC 5152. Possible, but unlikely, members, again based on kinematics alone, are DDO 187, GR 8, Sextans A and B, and NGC 3109. All five of these latter galaxies have positive residuals of about 125 km s-1 relative to the solution, and may be the nearest galaxies that show the cosmological expansion. A discussion of the error matrix is given, with special emphasis on breaking up the velocity v0 of the LSR relative to the centroid of the LG into the sum of a rotation velocity vc and the motion of the center of the Galaxy vG.

  • Pos(PRA2009)020 Jy) and Μ Lockman Hole Using the Elatively Bright ( 250 Osity, but Only If the Starburst
    Detection of Submillimetre Galaxies in the Lockman Hole using the European VLBI Network PoS(PRA2009)020 Andy Biggs∗ European Southern Observatory, Karl-Schwarzschild-Straße 2, D-85748 Garching, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Josh Younger Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA E-mail: [email protected] Rob Ivison UK Astronomy Technology Centre, Royal Observatory, Blackford Hill, Edinburgh, EH9 3HJ, UK E-mail: [email protected] Submillimetre Galaxies (SMGs) are high-redshift starbursts that are believed to be the precursors to modern-day giant elliptical galaxies. AGN appear to be an integral part of the evolution of these massive, star-forming galaxies; this is implied by the discovery of black holes at the centres of all nearby, massive galaxies and tracers of AGN activity have indeed been detected in a significant fraction of SMGs e.g. via deep X-ray observations and NIR spectroscopy, although they appear not to be bolometrically dominant. Radio observations offer an alternative, dust-unobscured, route to quantifying the contribution of AGN to the SMG luminosity, but only if the starburst contribution can be removed. The most effective way of doing this is with high-resolution VLBI which filters out the low-brightness extended emission typical of star forming regions leaving only the compact AGN cores. We have observed three SMGs in the Lockman Hole using the European VLBI Network at a wavelength of 18 cm. All three are relatively bright ( 250 µJy) and from MERLIN imaging were known to contain compact structure. Two of them are detected thus indicating that AGN are common in radio-detected SMGs and contribute significantly to the radio luminosity.

  • Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Volume
    Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Volume I. D. Karachentsev1, * and E. I. Kaisina1 1Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russian Academy of Sciences, Nizhnii Arkhyz, 369167 Russia (Received January 17, 2019; Revised February 4, 2019; Accepted February 4, 2019) We review observational data about a sample of Local Volume objects containing about 1000 galaxies within 11 Mpc of the Milky Way. Dwarf galaxies with stellar masses M∗/M⊙ < 9 dex make up 5/6 of the sample. Almost 40% of them have their distances measured with high precision using the Hubble Space Telescope. Currently, the LV is the most representative and least selection-affected sample of dwarf galaxies suitable for testing the standard ΛCDM paradigm at the shortest cosmological scales. We discuss the HII properties of dwarf galaxies in different environments and the star formation rates in these systems as determined from F UV- and Hα-survey data. We also pay certain attention to the baryonic Tully–Fisher relation for low-mass dwarf galaxies. We also point out that LV dwarfs are important “tracers” for determining the total masses of nearby groups and the nearest Virgo cluster. 1. INTRODUCTION When compiling catalogs of galaxies astronomers usually limit the sample by a certain limiting magnitude or a certain smallest angular diameter of objects. Theoreticians modeling the evolution of the large-scale structure of the Universe need volume limited catalogs compare their computations with observations. Because of the enormous variety of galaxies in terms of size (by a factor of 1000) and luminosity (by a factor of a million), magnitude- and distance-limited samples have very few objects in common.
