Give Peas another chance: Can XMM-Newton detect them comma tooquestionMark
收藏资源简介:
We propose a first detection experiment with XMMNewton on the socalled GreenPea galaxies (GPs) in Xrays. These galaxies were noted first by volunteers inthe Galaxy Zoo project because of their peculiar green color and small size,unresolved in SDSS imaging. GPs present one of the largest and most homogeneoussamples of lowmass starbursts at redshift z smaller 1. The GPs propertiessuggest that they are snapshots of an extreme and short phase of galaxyevolution. GPs hence provide a local laboratory with which to study the extremestar formation processes that are known to occur in highz galaxies. ProposedXray detections and if possible spectral analysis will allow us to putfurther constraints on this new and still enigmatic class of extremely starforming galaxies. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
