Current data and models suggest that these high-z IR-luminous galaxies represent a major starburst phase in the formation of spheroidal galaxies, although many of the sources also host luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs), such that a contribution to the dust heating by the AGN cannot be precluded. HCN emission is a star formation indicator, tracing dense molecular hydrogen gas within star-forming molecular clouds ... | | Free Keywords: | Galaxies: Active; Galaxies: Formation; Galaxies: High-Redshift; Galaxies: ISM; Galaxies: Starburst; Infrared: Galaxies | | External Publication Status: | published | | Document Type: | Article |
