1 IC 10 Henize 2-10 NGC 253 COMPARISON OF GAS AND DUST COOLING RATES IN NEARBY GALAXIES E.Bayet: LRA-LERMA-ENS (Paris) Antennae IC 342 M 83 NGC 6946
2 INTRODUCTION : OBJECTS : warm and dense molecular clouds in the nuclei of 20 nearby galaxies with different morphological types (D < 10 Mpc) targets for ALMA and Herschel GOALS : 1) describe the physical properties of these objects localize the GMCs in these nuclei correlations morphological types - cooling rates? prediction of emission lines for more distant objects 2) understand the links existing between dust and gas cooling rates HOW : Observations of C and CO lines in mm-submm windows (υ= GHz) with CSO (Hawaii, USA) and IRAM-PdB (FRANCE) for the first time C( 3 P 2-3 P 1 ) (υ=809 GHz) high-j CO lines observed : 12 CO(6-5), (7-6) (υ=691 GHz, 806 GHz) LVG (radiative transfer calculations) and PDR (photodissociation regionsthermal balance) models to derive the physical properties
3 GALAXIES SAMPLE : Properties : - accessibles from the northern hemisphere - bright in the low-j CO lines, e.g., 12 CO(1-0) and 12 CO(2-1) - ~20 nearby galaxies with different morphological types: normal spiral galaxies: IC 342, M 51, NGC 6946 irregular star forming galaxies: Henize 2-10, IC 10 starburst galaxies: M 82, M 83, NGC 253 interacting galaxies: NGC 6090, IRAS , the Antennae ULIRGs: Markarian 231, Arp 220 LINER: NGC 4736, NGC 3079
4 E. Bayet OBSERVED LINES : CO = good tracer of H2 molecular masses C linked with PDRs (mostly in the first layers) Study of the variation of C over CO density ratio N(C)/ N(CO) in the molecular cloud Clouds are ruled by: heating - photoelectric effects on grains - collisionnal deexcitation of H2 cooling (condensation of clouds = star formation) - neutral layer (Av < 5): CII, OI - molecular layer (Av > 5) : CO & C From Hollenbach & T ielens (1999) CO lines refer to transitions between two rotationnal levels C lines refer to transitions between two electronical levels
5 MODELS : LVG ( Large Velocity Gradient ) : radiative transfer calculations with one standard spherical component + T k and gas density considered as constant 4 input parameters : N(CO)/FWHM,, n(h 2 ), T k and abundance ratio 12 CO/ CO C ( 13 CO used for discriminating solutions) O PDR or «photodissociation regions» : 2 input parameters : radiation field and n(h) + gaseous phase abundances, etc Intensities of each CO lines are computed up to 12 CO(15-14) and we computed intensities of C lines C( 3 P 1-3 P 0 ) & C( 3 P 2-3 P 1 ) Comparison with observations Physical properties of the ISM derived!! From Hollenbach & T ielens (1999)
6 RESULTS : example (IC 342) of CO cooling curve Observations of the 13 CO(6-5), 12 CO(8-7) and up will be very useful to discriminate models solutions ALMA & Herschel!! 2 LVG models needed to reproduce cold and warm molecular gas
7 E. Bayet CO cooling curves : He 2-10, M 83 & Cloverleaf QSO : peak position 12CO(7-6) and up IC 10, NGC 253, NGC 4038, NGC 6946 & Overlap : peak position 12CO(6-5) IC 342 and Center of Milky Way : peak position 12CO(5-4) and below CO(5-4) to CO(7-6) = major coolants C(3P2-3P1) = major coolant CO cooling rate > C cooling rate Similarities in the CO cooling curves mean similarities in the physical properties, morphological types Grey full points are derived from PDR models
8 E. Bayet Comparison between differents tracers : 1) Morphologic Larger dispersion in dust cooling than in radiation field and density PDR / TOTAL (CII) Dust cooling Dust cooling Cooling efficiency (CO / FIR & C/ FIR) Density (CII / OI) Radiation field (CII / C) (neutral and molecular gas + dust) Dust cooling Contribution of the CII from PDR more important in NGC 6946 CO cooling rate more efficient than C cooling rate IC 10 clearly differs from others Heating efficiency
9 Comparison between differents tracers : 1) Morphologic (bis) (neutral and molecular gas + dust) * CO(1-0) known as tracer of star formation * Total CO cooling rates computed from 1-0 to lines (PDR) also good tracer Dust cooling
10 E. Bayet Comparison between differents tracers : 2) Coolants (neutral and molecular gas + dust) Correlations between CII, C and CO cooling rates CII cooling rate > OI cooling rate Starburst galaxies (NGC 253, M 83) have the highest CII, OI, C & CO cooling rates and highest FIR flux Merger and irregular galaxies have the lowest rates
11 PERSPECTIVES : MERCI! Finish the analysis of these figures and quantify precisely the links existing between o morphological type of nuclei & lines which contribute the most to the CO and C cooling rates o different coolant species (relation between neutral, molecular gas and dust) o cooling and heating processes in the GMCs Complete these results with the other galaxies from our sample: LVG and PDR models should be applied (already published paper in A&A: The submillimeter C and CO lines in Henize 2-10 and NGC 253 and paper in preparation for the other sources) Other works in progress: - Localize the GMCs in IC 10 nucleus from high resolution IRAM-Plateau De Bure observations and compare CO with ISO data (LW2 et LW3 at 7 and 15 µm) - Collaboration at the Leiden Observatory (F. Israel) concerning models: plan to use a combined XDR-PDR models in development My PhD work shall be included in the future large programs performed by ALMA, the Herschel satellite with the HIFI, PACS and SPIRE instruments and the Spitzer Space Satellite with the IRAC camera and the IRS spectrometer.

13 OBSERVED LINES : CO & C : several lines which emit: Hollenbach & T ielens (1999) CO(1-0), 12 CO(2-1), 12 CO(3-2), 12 CO(4-3) 13 CO(1-0), 13 CO(2-1)... C( 3 P 1-3 P 0 ), C( 3 P 2-3 P 1 ) CO lines : transitions between two rotationnal levels ex: CO(3-2) transition from level J = 3 to J = 2 C lines : transitions between two electronical levels ex: C( 3 P 1-3 P 0 ) transitions from level 3 P 1 to 3 P 0 CII & OI emission lines from literature (ISO, KAO ) Observations and study of high-j CO lines ( 12 CO(6-5) et (7-6)) = signature of warm and dense molecular gas (n(h 2 ) ~10 4 cm -3, T k ~ K)
