Formation of obscuring clouds by circumnuclear Starbursts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2004
Abstract
We pursue the dynamics of dusty gas clouds that are blown out of circumnuclear starburst regions, taking into consideration the growth of clouds by inelastic cloud-cloud collision and the resultant change of the optical depth. As a result, we find that the clouds originating in the circumnuclear starburst can contribute to the obscuration to produce type 2 Seyfert galaxies. Also, it is shown that, if the AGN luminosity overwhelms the starburst one, almost all clouds are ejected from the galaxy by the radiation pressure of the AGN, resulting in the formation of quasar-like objects.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
