Cross-checking SMBH mass estimates in NGC 6958 -- I: Stellar dynamics from adaptive optics-assisted MUSE observations

Sabine Thater, Davor Krajnović, Peter M. Weilbacher +9

Supermassive black hole masses (MBH) can dynamically be estimated with various methods and using different kinematic tracers. Different methods have only been cross-checked for a s…

On planet formation around supermassive black holes and the grain disruption barriers by radiative torques

Nguyen Chau Giang, Thiem Hoang, Le Ngoc Tram +5

It has recently been suggested that planets can form by dust coagulation in the torus of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with low luminosity of $L_{\rm bol}\lesssim 10^{42} erg s^{-1}…

The MBHBM Project -- II. Molecular Gas Kinematics in the Lenticular Galaxy NGC 3593 Reveal a Supermassive Black Hole

Dieu D. Nguyen, Martin Bureau, Sabine Thater +15

As part of the Measuring Black Holes in Below Milky Way-mass (M) galaxies (MBHBM) Project, we present a dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH)…

Modeling extinction and reddening effects by circumstellar dust in the Betelgeuse envelope in the presence of radiative torque disruption

Bao Truong, Le Ngoc Tram, Thiem Hoang +9

Circumstellar dust is formed and evolved within the envelope of evolved stars, including Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) and Red Supergiant (RSG). The extinction of stellar light by…

Spatially Resolving the Star Formation Histories of Three Nearby Nuclear Star Clusters

Christian H. Hannah, Anil C. Seth, Dieu D. Nguyen +4

The formation of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) remains an open question. In this work, we use spatially resolved HST/STIS spectroscopic observations of three nearby NSCs (hosted by…

Hard X-ray Irradiation Potentially Drives Negative AGN Feedback by Altering Molecular Gas Properties

Taiki Kawamuro, Claudio Ricci, Takuma Izumi +4

To investigate the role of active galactic nucleus (AGN) X-ray irradiation on the interstellar medium (ISM), we systematically analyzed Chandra and ALMA CO(=2-1) data for 26 ult…

Studying magnetic fields and dust in M17 using polarized thermal dust emission observed by SOFIA/HAWC+

Thuong Duc Hoang, Nguyen Bich Ngoc, Pham Ngoc Diep +12

We report the highest spatial resolution measurement of magnetic fields in M17 using thermal dust polarization taken by SOFIA/HAWC+ centered at 154 m wavelength. Using the Davis…
