ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 17 AGN’s: Herschel & ALMA Measure 1000’s of sources with PACS and SPIRE, then follow up with longer wavelength continuum data with ALMA ALMA spectral line measurements of CO and other species Herschel will sample the regime where most of the luminosity is radiated High resolution images with ALMA allow a better determination of the size of emission sources ALMA would provide high resolution images to refine models. Separate star formation and accretion in AGN’s Could also make imaging survey of sources found with PLANCK ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 18 Image of the redshift z=6.4 source in CO line emission The CO emission was shown to be extended ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 19 CO Lines Observable with ALMA Receivers as a Function of Redshift ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 20 Normalized integrated CO line intensity With a number of CO line measurements one can determine physical parameters of a source ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 21 NGC6240-An AGN Case Study NICMOS 1.6 micron CO J=2-1 0.7” resolution IRAM Interferometer 2”, 960 pc ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 22 Nearby Galaxies Investigate star formation in other types of galaxies At 10 Mpc, 0.1” is equivalent to 4.8 pc Compare to models, in regard to the influence of nearby surroundings, metallicity, mergers ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 23 IC10-A Nearby Blue Dwarf Galaxy D=0.7 Mpc; Total size of the image is 10’ ESO Seminar, 25 May 2006 24 Boxes show FOV of Bolometers.
