    Descripción

    Dos cuestiones fundamentales en la Astrofísica son la conversión de gas molecuar en estrellas y cómo este proceso físico depende del entorno en todas las escalas, desde sistemas planetarios, cúmulos estelares, galaxias hasta cúmulos de galaxias. El objectivo principal de este proyecto es el de estudiar la formación y evolución de galaxias a partir de la materia interstellar. Por ello, estudiaremos el gas molecuar frío, el combustible de la formación estelar y el polvo, producto residual del proceso de formación, en galaxias a través del tiempo cósmico. Los estudios están basados, sobre todo, en observaciones en el infrarrojo lejano y en el radio. Nos centraremos en observaciones con interferómetros de radio como son NOEMA, ALMA, ATCA, SMA y VLA. Se preveen estrechas colaboraciones con otros proyectos del IAC, sobre todo para observaciones de galaxias con telescopios de radio. El grupo de trabajo caracterizará las propiedades de la formación estelar de galaxias masivas en el universo lejano a través del tiempo cósmico. Esto nos dará la oportunidad de estudiar la secuencia de formación de galaxias con brote estelar. Además, este grupo de trabajo investigará fuentes selecionadas desde cúmulos de galaxias y del campo para explorar la evolución de galaxias en funcion del entorno. Además, realizaremos estudios complementarios de galaxias locales (seleccionadas desde CALIFA y WEAVE-APERTIF) que servirán de referencia para investigaciones futuras de galaxias a alto redshift.

    • Confirming Herschel Candidate Protoclusters from ALMA/VLA CO Observations

      ALMA 870 μm continuum imaging has uncovered a population of blends of multiple dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) in sources originally detected with the Herschel Space Observatory. However, their pairwise separations are much smaller than what is found by ALMA follow-up of other single-dish surveys or expected from theoretical simulations. Using

      We report the detection of the radio afterglow of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 111005A at 5-345 GHz, including very long baseline interferometry observations with a positional error of 0.2 mas. The afterglow position is coincident with the disc of a galaxy ESO 58049 at z = 0.01326 (˜1″ from its centre), which makes GRB 111005A the second-closest

      We use Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of four submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at z ˜ 2-3 to investigate the spatially resolved properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) at scales of 1-5 kpc (0.″1-0.″6).

      The circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the massive Spiderweb Galaxy, a conglomerate of merging proto-cluster galaxies at z = 2.2, forms an enriched interface where feedback and recycling act on accreted gas.

      Deriving circular velocities of galaxies from stellar kinematics can provide an estimate of their total dynamical mass, provided a contribution from the velocity dispersion of the stars is taken into account. Molecular gas (e.g. CO), on the other hand, is a dynamically cold tracer and hence acts as an independent circular velocity estimate without
