1 Gas and star formation in minor mergers: Molecular gas feeding the central starbursts in NGC 1614 and the Medusa merger Sabine König, S. Aalto (Chalmers), J. Gallagher (Univ. of Wisconsin), S. Muller (Chalmers), R. Beswick (Univ. of Manchester), E. Jütte (AIRUB), L. Lindroos (Chalmers) IRAM France Sabine König Gas and star formation in minor mergers 1

2 M INOR MERGERS WITH MINOR AXIS DUST LANES minor mergers: gas brought in by disturbing companion galaxy generally at large radii in merger remnant (Bournaud et al. 2005) gas returning from tidal tails often forms rings (e.g. polar, appearing as dust lanes when seen edge-on) How are polar rings/dust lanes physically and dynamically coupled to the gas reservoirs at the centers of minor mergers? Sabine König Gas and star formation in minor mergers F IGURE : Minor axis dust lane minor mergers NGC 1614 (top) and NGC 4194 (the Medusa merger, bottom). 2

3 NGC 1614 minor axis dust lane minor merger d = 64 Mpc L IR L (LIRG) LINER and starburst activity starburst ring detected in different tracers (e.g. Pa, radio continuum, PAHs, H K imaging) Sabine König Gas and star formation in minor mergers 3
