AbstractWe present the first results of a multiwavelength study of IRAS galaxies with excess radio emission. The sample was selected by cross-correlating the IRAS Faint Source Survey (for |b| ≥ 50°) and the Point Source Catalogue (for 10° < |b| < 50°) with the Texas radio survey. Recent optical (imaging and spectroscopic) and radio (VLA) observations are discussed. These observations will be used to investigate possible connections between radio galaxy activity, star formation and galaxy interactions.

Tail Structure

ABSTRACT We present complicated dust structures within multiple regions of the candidate supernova remnant (SNR) the ‘Tornado’ (G357.7–0.1) using observations with Spitzer and Herschel. We use point process mapping, ppmap, to investigate the distribution of dust in the Tornado at a resolution of 8 arcsec, compared to the native telescope beams of 5–36 arcsec. We find complex dust structures at multiple temperatures within both the head and the tail of the Tornado, ranging from 15 to 60 K. Cool dust in the head forms a shell, with some overlap with the radio emission, which envelopes warm dust at the X-ray peak. Akin to the terrestrial sandy whirlwinds known as ‘dust devils’, we find a large mass of dust contained within the Tornado. We derive a total dust mass for the Tornado head of 16.7 $\rm M_{\odot }$, assuming a dust absorption coefficient of κ300 = 0.56 $\rm m^2\, kg^{-1}$, which can be explained by interstellar material swept up by a SNR expanding in a dense region. The X-ray, infrared, and radio emission from the Tornado head indicate that this is a SNR. The origin of the tail is more unclear, although we propose that there is an X-ray binary embedded in the SNR, the outflow from which drives into the SNR shell. This interaction forms the helical tail structure in a similar manner to that of the SNR W50 and microquasar SS 433.

Photoionization Model

The remarkable filament system seen in radio observations in the vicinity of the galactic center includes two thin filaments which arch away from the galactic plane (E.G. Yusef-Zadem et al 1984). The brightest part of each of these thermal structures is located at GO.10+0.02 and GO.07+0.04. Morris and Yusef-Zadem (1989) reason that photoionization by OB stars is unlikely on geometrical and morphological grounds. They suggest a magnetohydrodynamic mechanism to account for the radio emission and ionization. Erickson et al. (1968) were able to explain most of their observations of the far infrared (FIR) fine structure line emission from these locations in terms of a photoionization model.

The radial distributions of the surface brightness or column density of thermal and nonthermal radio emission, far-infrared (FIR) emission, blue light, HI and CO in the Sc galaxies M33 and M51 are compared with the corresponding distributions in the Galaxy. Information on the variation of the absorption at Hα and on the variation of the abundance ratio O/H is also shown.

AbstractWe observed OH maser emission at 18cm in a circumnuclear torus surrounding the center of IRAS10173+0828 using the 7 telescopes of MERLIN, together with the Lovell antenna. IRAS10173+0828 is a distant super-luminous far-infrared galaxy. The OH maser emission is remarkably narrow (FWHP = 39km s_1) for its strength, and the 1667 and 1665 MHz lines are well separated. The 1667 transition shows two distinct peaks displaced from one another by 100 km s−1. Using our MERLIN observational results we probe the physics in the circumnuclear torus surrounding the center of IRAS10173+0828, obtain the kinematic properties of the torus, and study the central source.
