中文摘要
这项提议将支持一项为期3年的观测计划,研究尘埃活动星系核和发光星暴星系之间的关系。这两种现象--恒星爆发和活动星系核被认为是在许多星系中共同发现的,越来越多的证据表明,它们之间可能存在偶然或进化的关系。恒星爆发是指快速形成的大质量、热的年轻恒星产生高光能输出,而活动星系核被认为是由引力能量驱动的,因为巨大的致密天体吸积了星系核心的物质。这项研究计划的重点将是使用新开发的中红外成像光谱仪对恒星爆发和活动星系核进行成像和光谱观测,该光谱仪由B.Jones和R.Puetter在加州大学圣地亚哥分校建造,安装在夏威夷莫纳克亚的10米W.M.Keck望远镜上。还将利用加州大学的光学设施和国家无线电设施进行辅助观测。
英文摘要
ABSTRACT AST-9319895 Smith, Harding This proposal will support a 3-year program of observational studies of the relationship between dusty active galactic nuclei (AGN) and luminous Starburst galaxies. The two phenomena -Starbursts, where rapid formation of massive, hot, young stars produces high luminous energy output, and AGN, thought to be powered by gravitational energy as a massive compact object accretes material at the nucleus of a galaxy-are found together in many galaxies and there is an increasing body of evidence that there may be a casual or evolutionary relationship between them. The focus of this research program will be imaging and spectroscopic observations of Starbursts and AGN using a newly developed mid-infrared imaging spectrometer, constructed at UCSD by B. Jones and R. Puetter, on the 10-meter W.M. Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Supporting observations, using University of California optical facilities and national radio facilities will also be made.
