A MERLIN neutral hydrogen absorption study of the luminous infrared merger NGC 6240.
BESWICK R.J., PEDLAR A., MUNDELL C.G. and GALLIMORE J.F.
Abstract (from CDS):
Continuum observations presented here at 1.4 and 5GHz support the view that NGC 6240 contains a double nucleus resulting from a galactic merger event and show these as two compact radio sources separated by 1.52arcsec. We have also applied luminosity and morphological considerations to the continuum results to determine the most feasible source of radio emission for this luminous merger galaxy. We conclude that the most likely source of the radio flux found in NGC 6240 is a combination of starburst emission from radio luminous supernova remnants, similar to those found in Arp 220, and emission from a weak AGN probably triggered by a merger event.
