Lyα Radiation from Collapsing Protogalaxies. II. Observational Evidence for Gas Infall

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectra and surface brightness distributions for the Lyα radiation expected from protogalaxies that are caught in the early stages of their assembly were modeled and the effect of subsequent resonant scattering in the IGM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overluminous HNC line emission in Arp 220, NGC 4418 and Mrk 231. Global IR pumping or XDRs?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that the main cause for the luminous HNC line emission is the extreme radiative and kinematical environment in starburst and active nuclei.

Small-scale dynamo action during the formation of the first stars and galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the amplification of magnetic seed fields during the formation of the first stars and galaxies, and find that the magnetic field may be substantially amplified before the creation of a disk.
Journal ArticleDOI

P Cygni Profiles of Molecular Lines Toward Arp 220 Nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a 100 pc (0farcs3) resolution observation of (sub)millimeter HCO+ and CO lines in the ultraluminous infrared galaxy Arp 220 and suggested that these P Cygni profiles are due to the outward motion of molecular gas from the nuclei.
