We measure a redshift of 0.3292 for F00183-7111 from the CO(1-0) line and estimate the mass of the molecular gas in 00183 to be 1 $\\times$ 10$^{10}$ M$_{\\odot}$. We find that F00183-7111 is predominately powered by the AGN and only $\\sim$14 per cent of the total luminosity is contributed by star-formation (SFR $\\sim$220 M$_{\\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$). We also present an optical image of F00183-7111, which shows an extension to the East. We searched for star-formation in this extension using radio continuum observations but do not detect any. This suggests that the star-formation is likely to be predominately nuclear. These observations provide additional support for a model in which the radio emission from ULIRGs is powered by an intense burst of star-formation and by a radio-loud AGN embedded in its nucleus, both triggered by a merger of gas-rich galaxies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-20T23:09:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ultraluminous infrared galaxy", "star-formation", "australia telescope compact array", "radio continuum observations", "radio emission" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnrasl/slu015", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2014, "month": "May", "volume": 440, "number": 1 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1278309, "adsabs": "2014MNRAS.440L..31M" } } }
