Very compact millimeter sizes for composite star-forming/AGN submillimeter galaxies [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We report the study of far-IR sizes of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in relation to their dust-obscured star formation rate (SFR) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) presence, determined using mid-IR photometry. We determined the millimeter-wave (\${\textbackslash}lambda_\{{\textbackslash}rm obs\}=1100 {\textbackslash}mu\$m) sizes of 69 ALMA-identified SMGs, selected with \${\textbackslash}geq10\$\${\textbackslash}sigma\$ confidence on ALMA images (\$F_\{{\textbackslash}rm 1100 {\textbackslash}mu m\}=1.7\$–7.4 mJy). We found that all the SMGs are located above an avoidance region in the millimeter size-flux plane, as expected by the Eddington limit for star formation. In order to understand what drives the different millimeter-wave sizes in SMGs, we investigated the relation between millimeter-wave size and AGN fraction for 25 of our SMGs at \$z=1\$–3. We found that the SMGs for which the mid-IR emission is dominated by star formation or AGN have extended millimeter-sizes, with respective median \$R_\{{\textbackslash}rm c,e\} = 1.6{\textasciicircum}\{+0.34\}_\{-0.21\}\$ and 1.5\${\textasciicircum}\{+0.93\}_\{-0.24\}\$ kpc. Instead, the SMGs for which the mid-IR emission corresponds to star-forming/AGN composites have more compact millimeter-wave sizes, with median \$R_\{p̌hantom{\}}{\textbackslash}rm c,ep̌hantom{\{}\}=1.0{\textasciicircum}\{+0.20\}_\{-0.20\}\$ kpc. The relation between millimeter-wave size and AGN fraction suggests that this size may be related to the evolutionary stage of the SMG. The very compact sizes for composite star-forming/AGN systems could be explained by supermassive black holes growing rapidly during the SMG coalescing, star-formation phase.
