    Bulge formation from SSCs in a responding cuspy dark matter halo

    We simulate the bulge formation in very late-type dwarf galaxies from circumnuclear super star clusters (SSCs) moving in a responding cuspy dark matter halo (DMH). The simulations show that (1) the response of DMH to sinking of SSCs is detectable only in the region interior to about 200 pc. The mean logarithmic slope of the responding DM density profile over that area displays two different phases: the very early descent followed by ascent till approaching to 1.2 at the age of 2 Gyrs. (2) the detectable feedbacks of the DMH response on the bulge formation turned out to be very small, in the sense that the formed bulges and their paired nuclear cusps in the fixed and the responding DMH are basically the same, both are consistent with HSTHST observations. (3) the yielded mass correlation of bulges to their nuclear (stellar) cusps and the time evolution of cusps' mass are accordance with recent findings on relevant relations. In combination with the consistent effective radii of nuclear cusps with observed quantities of nuclear clusters, we believe that the bulge formation scenario that we proposed could be a very promising mechanism to form nuclear clusters.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in Ap

    A Catalog of Luminous Infrared Galaxies in the IRAS Survey and the Second Data Release of the SDSS

    Full text link
    We select the Luminous Infrared Galaxies by cross-correlating the Faint Source Catalogue (FSC) and Point Source Catalogue (PSC) of the IRAS Survey with the Second Data Release of the SDSS for studying their infrared and optical properties. The total number of our sample is 1267 for FSC and 427 for PSC by using 2σ\sigma significance level cross-section. The "likelihood ratio" method is used to estimate the sample's reliability and for a more reliable subsample (908 for FSC and 356 for PSC) selection. Then a Catalog with both the infrared, optical and radio informations is presented and will be used in further works. Some statistical results show that the Luminous Infrared Galaxies are quite different from the Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies. The AGN fractions of galaxies with different infrared luminosities and the radio to infrared correlations are consist with previous studies.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures. Accepted by ChJAA.

    The Growth of Black Holes and Their Host Spheroids in (Sub)mm-loud QSOs at High Redshift

    Full text link
    We study the growth of black holes and stellar population in spheroids at high redshift using several (sub)mm-loud QSO samples. Applying the same criteria established in an earlier work, we find that, similar to IR QSOs at low redshift, the far-infrared emission of these (sub)mm-loud QSOs mainly originates from dust heated by starbursts. By combining low-z IR QSOs and high-z (sub)mm-loud QSOs, we find a trend that the star formation rate (\Mstardot) increases with the accretion rate (\Mdot). We compare the values of \Mstardot/\Mdot for submm emitting galaxies (SMGs), far-infrared ultraluminous/hyperluminous QSOs and typical QSOs, and construct a likely evolution scenario for these objects. The (sub)mm-loud QSO transition phase has both high \Mdot and \Mstardot and hence is important for establishing the correlation between the masses of black holes and spheroids.Comment: 19 pages,3 figures,submitted to Chin.
