Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy

We present preliminary results on multi-wavelength observations of the Wolf-Rayet Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy He2–10. These observations include Hα and continuum imaging, high-resolution Hα spectroscopy, high-resolution radio-continuum mapping at 6.3 and 3.5 cm and X-ray mapping. The deep Hα image reveals that the galaxy consists of a complex system of different star-forming knots surrounded by kpc-scale bubble-like and filamentary structures. The most interesting structure is a bipolar superbubble centered on the most intense star-formation knot. High-resolution spectroscopy of this structure indicates that it is expanding with a velocity in the range 75–250 km s−1. This kind of outflows is likely to be produced by the mechanical action of stellar winds and supernovae explosions in the intense starbursts that the galaxy hosts. This scenario is consistent with the finding of a very steep radio spectral index in the extended radio continuum emission (α = −0.59) that confirms the presence of a large number of supernova remnants in the galaxy.

Abstract We present ∼0.15″ spatial resolution imaging of SHiZELS-14, a massive ($M_{*}\sim 10^{11}\, \rm {M_{\odot }}$), dusty, star-forming galaxy at z = 2.24. Our rest-frame $\sim 1\, \rm {kpc}$-scale, matched-resolution data comprise four different widely used tracers of star formation: the $\rm {H}\alpha$ emission line (from SINFONI/VLT), rest-frame UV continuum (from HST F606W imaging), the rest-frame far-infrared (from ALMA), and the radio continuum (from JVLA). Although originally identified by its modest $\rm {H}\alpha$ emission line flux, SHiZELS-14 appears to be a vigorously star-forming ($\rm {SFR}\sim 1000\, \rm {M_{\odot }\, yr^{-1}}$) example of a submillimeter galaxy, probably undergoing a merger. SHiZELS-14 displays a compact, dusty central starburst, as well as extended emission in $\rm {H}\alpha$ and the rest-frame optical and FIR. The UV emission is spatially offset from the peak of the dust continuum emission, and appears to trace holes in the dust distribution. We find that the dust attenuation varies across the spatial extent of the galaxy, reaching a peak of at least AHα ∼ 5 in the most dusty regions, although the extinction in the central starburst is likely to be much higher. Global star-formation rates inferred using standard calibrations for the different tracers vary from $\sim 10\!-\!1000\, \rm {M_{\odot }\, yr^{-1}}$, and are particularly discrepant in the galaxy’s dusty centre. This galaxy highlights the biased view of the evolution of star-forming galaxies provided by shorter wavelength data.

Abstract An almost perfect round hole of CO-line emission with a diameter of 3.7 pc was found in a molecular cloud (MC) centered on G35.75−0.25 (l = 35${{^{\circ}_{.}}}$75, b = −0${{^{\circ}_{.}}}$25) at radial velocity of 28 km s−1. The hole is quiet in radio continuum emission, unlike the usual supernova remnants (SNR), and the molecular edge is only weakly visible in 8 and 24 μm dust emissions. The hole may be either a fully evolved molecular bubble around a young stellar object (YSO), or a relic of a radio-quiet SNR that has already stopped expansion after rapid evolution in the dense MC as a buried SNR. Because G35.75 exhibits quite different properties from YSO-driven bubbles of the same size, we prefer the latter interpretation. The existence of such a “dark” SNR would affect the estimation of the supernova rate, and therefore the star formation history, in the Galaxy.

Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy

AbstractThe blue compact dwarf galaxy I Zw 18 holds the record of the lowest metallicity ever observed in the local universe. As such, it represents the closest analog to primordial galaxies in the early universe. More interestingly, it has recurrently been regarded as a genuinely young galaxy caught in the process of forming in the nearby universe. However, stars of increasingly older ages are found within I Zw 18 every time deeper high-resolution photometric observations are performed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST): from the original few tens of Myrs to, possibly, several Gyrs. Here we summarize the history of I Zw 18 age and present an ongoing HST/ACS project which allowed us to precisely derive the galaxy distance by studying its Cepheid variables, and to firmly establish the age of its faintest resolved populations.

The Galaxy

All sky surveys of the radio continuum emission give us the basic information on the distribution of the nonthermal emission in the Galaxy. At metre wavelengths, where nonthermal emission is dominant, good angular resolution is difficult to attain. For many years the best surveys near 2 m wavelength gave us a picture of the galaxy with ∼ 2° resolution. At centimetre wavelengths, where arc min resolution is available, the intense HII regions dominate the radio sky. Supernova remnants have a distribution somewhat similar to that of the discrete HII regions and must be delineated by various methods in high resolution galactic plane surveys in the decimetre wavelength range.

ABSTRACT We have performed 3D magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) numerical simulations with the aim of exploring the scenario in which the initial mass distribution of a supernova (SN) explosion is anisotropic. The purpose is to analyse if this scenario can also explain the radio-continuum emission and the expansion observed in young supernova remnants (SNRs). To study the expansion, synthetic polarized synchrotron emission maps were computed from the MHD simulations. We found a good agreement (under a number of assumptions) between this expansion study and previous observational results applied to Tycho’s SNR, which represents a good example of asymmetric young SNRs. Additionally, both the observed morphology and the brightness distribution are qualitatively reproduced.

To better constrain the physical mechanisms driving star formation, we present the first systematic study of the radio continuum size evolution of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) over the redshift range 0.35 <  z <  2.25. We use the VLA COSMOS 3 GHz map (noise rms = 2.3 μJy beam−1, θbeam = 0.75 arcsec) to construct a mass-complete sample of 3184 radio-selected SFGs that reside on and above the main sequence (MS) of SFGs. We constrain the overall extent of star formation activity in galaxies by applying a 2D Gaussian model to their radio continuum emission. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are used to validate the robustness of our measurements and characterize the selection function. We find no clear dependence between the radio size and stellar mass, M⋆, of SFGs with 10.5 ≲ log(M⋆/M⊙) ≲ 11.5. Our analysis suggests that MS galaxies are preferentially extended, while SFGs above the MS are always compact. The median effective radius of SFGs on (above) the MS of Reff = 1.5 ± 0.2 (1.0 ± 0.2) kpc remains nearly constant with cosmic time; a parametrization of the form Reff ∝ (1 + z)α yields a shallow slope of only α = −0.26 ± 0.08 (0.12 ± 0.14) for SFGs on (above) the MS. The size of the stellar component of galaxies is larger than the extent of the radio continuum emission by a factor ∼2 (1.3) at z = 0.5 (2), indicating star formation is enhanced at small radii. The galactic-averaged star formation rate surface density (ΣSFR) scales with the distance to the MS, except for a fraction of MS galaxies (≲10%) that harbor starburst-like ΣSFR. These “hidden” starbursts might have experienced a compaction phase due to disk instability and/or a merger-driven burst of star formation, which may or may not significantly offset a galaxy from the MS. We thus propose to use ΣSFR and distance to the MS in conjunction to better identify the galaxy population undergoing a starbursting phase.

VLA observations have been made of the continuum emission at 20-cm from the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4314 with an angular resolution of 3.5 arcseconds that corresponds to a linear scale of approximately 156 pc at a distance to the galaxy. This resolution was sufficient to resolve the central region into several compact sources. The radiation is linearly polarized which may indicate a non-thermal origin. No emission was detected from the extended bar to a level of 130 Jy.
