Continuous local time of a purely atomic immigration superprocess with dependent spatial motion

A purely atomic immigration superprocess with dependent spatial motion in the space of tempered measures is constructed as the unique strong solution of a stochastic integral equation driven by Poisson processes based on the excursion law of a Feller branching diffusion, which generalizes the work of Dawson and Li (2003). As an application of the stochastic equation, it is proved that the superprocess possesses a local time which is Holder continuous of order $\alpha$ for every $\alpha< 1/2$. We establish two scaling limit theorems for the immigration superprocess, from which we derive scaling limits for the corresponding local time.
