Searches for Exotics: Heavy resonances with the ATLAS detector

Discoveries of heavy resonances have played a very significant role in the development of particle physics, and many hypotheses that go beyond the Standard Model predict the existence of new resonances with high mass. We report on several searches for such new particles, decaying to various combinations of charged leptons, neutrinos, light quarks, top quarks, photons and heavy gauge bosons. This talk presents recent results with data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC
