VLA 15 & 33GHz obs. of GOALS-ES galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the analysis of ~100pc scale compact radio continuum sources detected in 63 local (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs; L_IR_>=10^11^L_{sun}_), using FWHM<~0.1"-0.2" resolution 15 and 33GHz observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array.

Description

We identify a total of 133 compact radio sources with effective radii of 8-170pc, which are classified into four main categories-"AGN" (active galactic nuclei), "AGN/SBnuc" (AGN-starburst composite nucleus), "SBnuc" (starburst nucleus), and "SF" (star-forming clumps)-based on ancillary data sets and the literature.

We find that "AGN" and "AGN/SBnuc" more frequently occur in late-stage mergers and have up to 3dex higher 33GHz luminosities and surface densities compared with "SBnuc" and "SF," which may be attributed to extreme nuclear starburst and/or AGN activity in the former. Star formation rates (SFRs) and surface densities ({Sigma}SFR) are measured for "SF" and "SBnuc" using both the total 33GHz continuum emission (SFR~0.14-13M_{sun}_/yr, {Sigma}_SFR_~13-1600M_{sun}_/yr/kpc^2^) and the thermal free-free emission from HII regions (median SFR_th_~0.4M_{sun}_/yr, {Sigma}_SFRth_~44M_{sun}_/yr/kpc^2^).

These values are 1-2dex higher than those measured for similar-sized clumps in nearby normal (non-U/LIRGs). The latter also have a much flatter median 15-33GHz spectral index (~-0.08) compared with "SBnuc" and "SF" (~-0.46), which may reflect higher nonthermal contribution from supernovae and/or interstellar medium densities in local U/LIRGs that directly result from and/or lead to their extreme star-forming activities on 100pc scales.
