Optical/NIR stellar absorption and emission-line indices from luminous infrared galaxies
We analyze a set of optical-to-near-infrared long-slit nuclear spectra of 16
infrared-luminous spiral galaxies. All of the studied sources present H
emission, which reflects the star-forming nature of our sample, and they
clearly display H I emission lines in the optical. Their continua contain many
strong stellar absorption lines, with the most common features due to Ca I, Ca
II, Fe I, Na I, Mg I, in addition to prominent absorption bands of TiO, VO,
ZrO, CN and CO. We report a homogeneous set of equivalent width (EW)
measurements for 45 indices, from optical to NIR species for the 16
star-forming galaxies as well as for 19 early type galaxies where we collected
the data from the literature. This selected set of emission and
absorption-feature measurements can be used to test predictions of the
forthcoming generations of stellar population models. We find correlations
among the different absorption features and propose here correlations between
optical and NIR indices, as well as among different NIR indices, and compare
them with model predictions. While for the optical absorption features the
models consistently agree with the observations,the NIR indices are much harder
to interpret. For early-type spirals the measurements agree roughly with the
models, while for star-forming objects they fail to predict the strengths of
these indices.Comment: accepted for publication in MNRA
Gemini NIFS survey of feeding and feedback in nearby active galaxies III. Ionized versus warm molecular gas masses and distributions
We have used the Gemini Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph in the J and K bands to map the distribution, excitation, and kinematics of the ionized Hâii and warm molecular gas H2, in the inner few 100âpc of six nearby active galaxies: NGCâ788, Mrkâ607, NGCâ3227, NGCâ3516, NGCâ5506, NGCâ5899. For most galaxies, this is the first time that such maps have been obtained. The ionized and H2 gas show distinct kinematics: while the H2 gas is mostly rotating in the galaxy plane with low velocity dispersion (Ï), the ionized gas usually shows signatures of outflows associated with higher Ï values, most clearly seen in the [Feâii] emission line. These two gas species also present distinct flux distributions: the H2 is more uniformly spread over the whole galaxy plane, while the ionized gas is more concentrated around the nucleus and/or collimated along the ionization axis of its active galactic nucleus (AGN), presenting a steeper gradient in the average surface mass density profile than the H2 gas. The total Hâii masses cover the range 2Ă105--2Ă107âMâ, with surface mass densities in the range 3â150âMââpcâ2, while for the warm H2 the values are 103â4 times lower. We estimate that the available gas reservoir is at least ââ100 times more massive than needed to power the AGN. If this gas forms new stars the star formation rates, obtained from the KennicuttâSchmidt scaling relation, are in the range 1â260 Ă 10â3 Mâ yrâ1. But the gas will also â at least in part â be ejected as the observed outflow
Gemini NIFS survey of feeding and feedback in nearby active galaxies : IV. Excitation
The near-infrared spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) present emission lines of different atomic and molecular species. The mechanisms involved in the origin of these emission lines in AGN are still not fully understood. We use J- and K-band integral field spectra of six luminous (43.1 < logLbol/(erg sâ1) < 44.4) Seyfert galaxies (NGC 788, Mrk 607, NGC 3227, NGC 3516, NGC 5506, and NGC 5899) in the local Universe (0.0039 <z< 0.0136) to investigate the gas excitation within the inner 100â300 pc radius of the galaxies at spatial resolutions of a few tens of parsecs. In all galaxies, the H2 emission originates from thermal processes with excitation temperatures in the range 2400â5200 K. In the high-line ratio (HLR) region of the H2/BrÎł versus [Fe II]/PaÎČ diagnostic diagram, which includes 29 per cent of the spaxels, shocks are the main excitation mechanism, as indicated by the correlation between the line widths and line ratios. In the AGN region of the diagram (64 per cent of the spaxels) the H2 emission is due to the AGN radiation. The [Fe II] emission is produced by a combination of photoionization by the AGN radiation and shocks in five galaxies and is dominated by photoionization in NGC 788. The [S IX]1.2523 ÎŒm coronal emission line is present in all galaxies, and its flux distributions are extended from 80 to 185 pc from the galaxy nuclei, except for NGC 5899, in which this line is detected only in the integrated spectrum
Gemini NIFS survey of feeding and feedback in nearby active galaxies V. Molecular and ionized gas kinematics
We study the gas distribution and kinematics of the inner kpc of six moderately luminous (43.43 †logâLbol †44.83) nearby (0.004 †z †0.014) Seyfert galaxies observed with the Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrograph (NIFS) in the J (â 1.25ÎŒm) and K (â 2.2ÎŒm) bands. We analyse the most intense emission lines detected on these spectral wavebands: [Feâii] 1.2570ÎŒm and PaÎČ, which trace the ionized gas in the partially and fully ionized regions, and H2 2.1218ÎŒm, which traces the hot (âŒ2000 K) molecular gas. The dominant kinematic component is rotation in the disc of the galaxies, except for the ionized gas in NGC 5899 that shows only weak signatures of a disc component. We find ionized gas outflow in four galaxies, while signatures of H2 outflows are seen in three galaxies. The ionized gas outflows display velocities of a few hundred km sâ1, and their mass outflow rates are in the range 0.005â12.49 Mâ yrâ1. Their kinetic powers correspond to 0.005â0.7 per cent of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) bolometric luminosities. Besides rotation and outflows signatures in some cases, the H2 kinematics also reveals inflows in three galaxies. The inflow velocities are 50â80 km sâ1 and the mass inflow rates are in the range 1â9 Ă 10â4 Mâ yrâ1 for hot molecular gas. These inflows might be only the hot skin of the total inflowing gas, which is expected to be dominated by colder gas. The mass inflow rates are lower than the current accretion rates to the AGN, and the ionized outflows are apparently disturbing the gas in the inner kpc
A GeminiâNIFS view of the merger remnant NGC 34
The merger remnant NGC 34 is a local luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) hosting a nuclear starburst and a hard X-ray source associated with a putative, obscured Seyfert 2 nucleus. In this work, we use adaptive optics assisted near-infrared (NIR) integral field unit observations of this galaxy to map the distribution and kinematics of the ionized and molecular gas in its inner 1.2kpcĂ1.2kpcâ , with a spatial resolution of 70 pc. The molecular and ionized gas kinematics is consistent with a disc with projected major axis along a mean PA = â9â.2 ± 0â.9. Our main findings are that NGC 34 hosts an AGN and that the nuclear starburst is distributed in a circumnuclear star formation ring with inner and outer radii of â 60 and 180 pc, respectively, as revealed by maps of the [FeII]/PaÎČ and H2/BrâÎł emission-line ratios, and corroborated by PCA tomography analysis. The spatially resolved NIR diagnostic diagram of NGC 34 also identifies a circumnuclear structure dominated by processes related to the stellar radiation field and a nuclear region where [FeII] and H2 emissions are enhanced relative to the hydrogen recombination lines. We estimate that the nuclear X-ray source can account for the central H2 enhancement and conclude that [FeII] and H2 emissions are due to a combination of photoionization by young stars, excitation by X-rays produced by the AGN and shocks. These emission lines show nuclear, broad, blueshifted components that can be interpreted as nuclear outflows driven by the AGN
