ABSTRACT A multiwavelength analysis of star formation associated with the extended green object, G19.88-0.53 is presented in this paper. With multiple detected radio and millimetre components, G19.88-0.53 unveils as harbouring a protocluster rather than a single massive young stellar object. We detect an ionized thermal jet using the upgraded Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope, India, which is found to be associated with a massive, dense and hot ALMA 2.7 mm core driving a bipolar CO outflow. Near-infrared spectroscopy with UKIRT–UIST shows the presence of multiple shock-excited H2 lines concurrent with the nature of this region. Detailed investigation of the gas kinematics using ALMA data reveals G19.88-0.53 as an active protocluster with high-mass star-forming components spanning a wide evolutionary spectrum from hot cores in accretion phase to cores driving multiple outflows to possible UCH ii regions.

AbstractThe [N ii] line is a major coolant in ionized interstellar medium, and is expected to be a good star formation rate indicator. Here we present a statistical study of [N ii] line emission for a large sample of local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) using Herschel SPIRE FTS data (Lu et al. 2012; Zhao et al. 2012, in preparation). For our sample of galaxies, the [N ii] to the total infrared luminosity ratio (L[Nii]/LIR) varies from ∼ 10−5 to ∼ 10−4. We investigate the correlation between L[Nii] and LIR, as well as the dependence of L[Nii]/LIR on LIR, infrared colors (f60/f100) and the OIII 88 μm to [N ii] luminosity ratio. We find that L[Nii] strongly, and almost linearly correlates with LIR for star-forming galaxies, namely log LIR = (4.23 ± 0.33) + (0.99 ± 0.05) log L[NII] (see Fig. 1). The scatter in this relation is mainly due to the variation of hardness, and/or high ionization parameter, of the background UV field.

When and how did galaxies form? In order to understand this important problem in astrophysics, many observational studies have been conducted so far. Deep survey observations in the optical are powerful for detecting very faint sources in the high-z universe The observed surface density of such high-z star forming galaxies may, however, be smaller than the value expected from the local density of luminous galaxies (e.g., Lanzetta et al. 1996; Steidel et al. 1996) and it is possible that we are missing classes of objects with substantial reddening and have not yet sampled fully the high-z counterparts of typical nearby galaxies. Since the nearby, well evolved galaxies consist of old low-mass stars, it is important to find galaxies with numerous low-mass stars. These stars emit their energy from the optical to near infrared (NIR) mostly, implying that they are more luminous in the NIR and MIR (mid-infrared) than in the optical if they were present at high redshifts.
