2 Dynamics of galaxy nuclei -AGN feeding -SB-AGN connection Dynamics of galaxy disks -Resolving individual molecular clouds -Testing density wave theories: spiral waves and bars -Probing the disk-halo interface: molecular outflows OUTLINE Molecular gas chemistry in galaxies (SB, AGN) -Shock chemistry in SB -PDR chemistry in SB -XDR chemistry in AGN CO lines Beyond CO...

3 Dynamics of Disks (I): Resolving Molecular Clouds -> M31: closest spiral galaxy (1’’=4pc) with well-known distance. -> 30m + PdBure Interferometer CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) maps -> Interferometer maps resolve individual molecular clouds--> determination of molecular cloud properties: sizes, vel.disp, temperatures and clouds masses.... CO(1-0) 30m map of M31 The case of M31 : Neininger et al 1998; Guelin et al 2000, 2004; Muller 2003 30m map Bure ‘minmaps’ Addressing cloud mass determination from virial theorem: -->standard: it does not work! -->balistic: it works with X=1-2!-->LOWER CO--to--H2 conversion factor (also) for disks, not only for nuclei! ALMA will resolve individual molecular clouds out to D=50Mpc

4 12 CO(1-0) OVRO+30m Aalto et al. (1999) 12 CO(1-0) Dynamics of Disks (II): Spiral Waves The case of M51: Schinnerer et al 2004 -> M51: grand design spiral galaxy (1’’=45pc) -> OVRO (Aalto et al. 1999) +30m (Garcia-Burillo et al. 1993) : 12 CO(1-0), 12 CO(2-1), 13 CO(1-0)C 18 O(1-0) ->Interferometer maps identify GMA--> determination of molecular gas properties on spiral arms and interarm regions as a function of radius. A challenging case study for density wave theory: -->Dynamics: strong streaming motions: ~50-100km/s on 100pc scales -->SF trigger: Halpha ‘a long way’ downstream ALMA will resolve molecular spiral arms in galaxies out to D=500Mpc

5 Bars as engines of galactic evolution Pattern speed ‘evolution´ in bars, from Bournaud and Combes 2002 Decoupled bars in M100, from García-Burillo et al 1998 Ma -->Simulations suggest bar instabilities experience significant secular evolution depending on gas accretion( Bournaud and Combes 2002; Englmaier and Sloshman 2004). Dynamics of Disks (III): Bars --> CO mapping of bars in galaxy disks on several scales provide constraints to: - bar pattern speeds - feasibility of decoupling of bars fully tested by observations. -->Bar properties as a function of z? (Jogee et al 2004) ALMA will allow studies of molecular bars in galaxies out to D=500-1000Mpc

SiO supershell SiO chimney OVRO CO(1-0) map :Walter et al 2002 Molecular gas drawn out of galaxy disks: starbursts M82: a huge molecular gas halo! (Seaquist and Clark 2001, García-Burillo et al 2001, Walter et al 2002) The tip of the iceberg! ALMA will make possible high-resolution mapping of extreme starbursts as M82: key to understand high-z galaxies ! Dynamics of Disks (IV): The Disk-Halo Interface PdBI SiO(2-1) map: García-Burillo et al 2001

8 -> AGN fuelled with material originally away from gravitational field of BH: problem of angular momentum removal. -> Critical scale for AGN feeding: <100pc. AGN duty cycle is short! -> Search for correlation with `secondary instabilities’ from 500pc to 50 pc: nuclear bars? spiral gas waves?, nuclear-warps? m=1 modes?... No consensus on the driving mechanism!...(only one? several?...) What sets on activity in galaxies ‘at present’...? ( Combes 2000-2004; Wada et al 2000-2004; Englmaier & Shlosman 2000; Shlosman 2001; Maciejewski et al 2002, 2004; Knapen 2001, 2004; Jogee 2004; Laine et al 2002; Garcia-Burillo et al 2000, Schinnerer et al 2000.......and many others!) Dynamics of Nuclei : Feeding AGN (I) --> High spatial resolution (0.5’’-1”) CO observations paramount to reach ‘critical’ scales: <50-100pc

9 T/LINER LINER/SEYF. 1 LINER HII/T SEYF. 1 SEYF. 2 LINERT/LINER SEYF. 2 T/SEYF. 2 NUGA: a CO survey of low-L AGN with IRAM PdbI: García-Burillo, Combes, Eckart et al 2003, 2004 Dynamics of Nuclei : Feeding AGN (II)

10 ~4x10 8 M sun ‘trapped’ in starburst ring ~10 7 M sun at r feeding in the past -2/Bridge of ~10 7 M sun linked to filamentary spiral seen in J-H HST map --> (low level) ongoing feeding García-Burillo, Combes, Schinnerer et al 2004 Observational evidence of feeding?.... Dynamics of Nuclei : Feeding AGN (III) NGC6951 NGC4826 CO(2-1) on J-H/HST CO(2-1) on B-I/HST TRANSITION object Seyfert 2 ~10 8 M sun at r no evidence of ongoing feeding

11 Garcia-Burillo, Combes, Schinnerer et al 2004 Gravity Torque MapsEfficiency of Torques Dynamics of Nuclei : Feeding AGN (IV) NGC4826 NGC6951 Seyfert 2 -->gravity torques give angular momentum to gas at r no ongoing feeding (agreement with CO diagnostic) TRANSITION object ->HST NIR images (0.2’’) allow derivation of stellar gravity torques on molecular gas disk from CO maps (0.5’’). -->gravity torques remove angular momentum from gas down to r=400pc -->gravity torques have no role at r ongoing feeding maintained by transitory mechanism?

12 Wide range of instabilities at r~10-500 pc from AGN: m=2, 1 - like and ‘stochastic’ perturbations. ---> Not all instabilities feed AGN, some do feed nuclear starbursts. ---> Some instabilities may inhibit AGN feeding. High-resolution (0.5’’) CO maps of AGN allow analysis of stellar gravity torques on gas. ---> AGN feeding in Seyferts in two steps: 1/ First, stellar torques feed nuclear SB on scales of ~a few 100pc. 2/ A ‘transitory’ mechanism involving little gas feeds directly AGN Dynamics of Nuclei : Feeding AGN (IV) ALMA will make high-resolution and high-sensitivity maps of a significant number of AGN hosts, zooming on the inner 10pc playground.

14 Evolutionary trends in SB can be tracked down by observation of different chemical tracers I/ ONSET OF THE NUCLEAR STARBURST : gas infall driven by density waves and/or tidal forces. II/ MASSIVE STAR FORMATION BURSTS: Young Stellar Objects and first SN explosions III/ BIPOLAR GIANT OUTFLOW : gas plane breaks out due to blast waves of SN remnants. PHASES Gas compression, HI  H 2, cloud-cloud collisions driving large-scale SHOCKS. PROCESSES UV field from massive stars create HII regions and PDR locally in disk. SHOCKS in YSO in disk XDR when AGN in disk. Strong UV fields create giant PDR in disk Expansion of gas heated by SN entrains neutral gas into halo driving SHOCKS PDR / SHOCKS in halo? Extragalactic Chemistry (I) Energetic Processes in SB & AGN (intense UV/X Radiation, Shocks,Cosmic Rays...)

16 Extragalactic Chemistry(III): Using Interferometers OVRO maps of IC342 (Meier and Turner 2004) High spatial resolution is paramount to probe chemical differentation in galaxies!

17 SiO traces shocks in the disk-halo interface in M82: giant outflow, evolved starburst. SiO traces shocks in the disk of NGC253 (SF, density waves...): less evolved starburst. High spatial resolution needed to trace evolution in starbursts NGC253 M82 SiO IRAM PdBI map in NGC253 from García-Burillo et al 2000. 10´´ SiO IRAM-PdBI map (contours) from García-Burillo et al. 2001 on CO (2-1) map from Weiss et al 2001 (colour ) in M82.
