摘要:

我们展示了从使用甚大阵列(VLA),多元素无线电链路干涉仪网络(MERLIN)和欧洲VLBI网络(EVN)的观测中获得的本地宇宙中的发光和超发光红外Galeries(LIRGs和ULIRGs,分别)的样本的初步结果。我们的高分辨率,高灵敏度的射电观测的主要目标是揭示本地(U)LIRGs的中心区域的主导气体加热机制。核心坍缩超新星(CCSNe)是大质量恒星爆炸的最终产物,产生明亮的射电事件,是(U)LIRGs中最近恒星形成的主要示踪物。因此,我们的观测不仅可以回答(U)LIRGs中占主导地位的加热机制的问题,而且还可以得到样本星系的CCSN速率和恒星形成速率(SFR)。

英文摘要:

We show preliminary results from a sample of Luminous and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs, respectively) in the local universe, obtained from observations using the Very Large Array (VLA), the Multi-Element Radio Link Interferometer Network (MERLIN), and the European VLBI Network (EVN). The main goal of our high-resolution, high-sensitivity radio observations is to unveil the dominant gas heating mechanism in the central regions of local (U)LIRGs. The main tracer of recent star-formation in (U)LIRGs is the explosion of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), which are the endproducts of the explosion of massive stars and yield bright radio events. Therefore, our observations will not only allow us to answer the question of the dominant heating mechanism in (U)LIRGs, but will yield also the CCSN rate and the star-formation rate (SFR) for the galaxies of the sample.
