Irregular Galaxies

The four clumpy irregular galaxies Mkr 8, 296,297 and 325 have been observed by IRAS. All galaxies have been detected in at least two of the four detector bands. The ratios of the 100 to 60-m flux densities are comparable to those of HII regions or violently star forming galaxies. The average star formation rate in clumpy irregular galaxies is of the order of a few solar masses per year (based on their average far-infrared luminosity and a Hubble constant of 75 km s−1 Mpc−1.

Abstract We present extensive observations of the Carina arm region in the 2.6 mm CO (J = 1−0) emission with the NANTEN telescope in Chile. The observations have revealed 120 molecular clouds which are distributed in an area of 283° < l < 293° and 2° .5 < b < 10°. Because of its vertical elongation to the galactic plane, the clouds are named the Carina flare. H I and far-infrared emission show a cavity-like distribution corresponding to the molecular clouds, and soft X-ray emission appears to fill this cavity. It is shown that the Carina flare represents a supershell at a distance of a few kpc that has been produced by about 20 supernova explosions, or equivalent stellar winds of OB stars, over the last ∼ 2×107 yr. The supershell consisting of molecular and atomic neutral gas involves a total mass and kinetic energy of ≳ 3×105M⊙ and ≳ 3×1050 erg, respectively, and the originally injected energy required is about 100-times this current kinetic energy in the shell. It is unique among supershells known previously because of the following aspects: i) it exhibits evidence for the triggered formation of intermediate-to-high-mass stars and massive molecular clouds of 102 − 104M⊙, and ii) the massive molecular clouds formed are located unusually far above the galactic plane at z ∼ 100–500 pc.

We report 36 to 50 μm observations of Arp 220 by the Goddard Cryogenic Grating Spectrometer on the Kuiper Airborne Observatory in May 1994. In this measurement, we find the galaxy to be four times brighter than in the measurements of Joy et al. (1986). If both of the observations are correct, this large far infrared luminosity increasing in a short time scale between the two observations suggests that the infrared emission in Arp 220 consists mostly of nonthermal synchrotron radiation which originates from the active nucleus.
