The jet/wind outflow in Centaurus A: a local laboratory for AGN feedback

B. McKinley, S. J. Tingay, E. Carretti +20

We present new radio and optical images of the nearest radio galaxy Centaurus A and its host galaxy NGC 5128. We focus our investigation on the northern transition region, where en…

The Parsec-Scale Relationship Between I_CO and A_V in Local Molecular Clouds

Cheoljong Lee, Adam K. Leroy, Alberto D. Bolatto +4

We measure the parsec-scale relationship between integrated CO intensity (I_CO) and visual extinction (A_V) in 24 local molecular clouds using maps of CO emission and dust optical…

LLAMA: Normal star formation efficiencies of molecular gas in the centres of luminous Seyfert galaxies

D. J. Rosario, L. Burtscher, R. I. Davies +23

Using new APEX and JCMT spectroscopy of the CO 2-1 line, we undertake a controlled study of cold molecular gas in moderately luminous Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and inactive gala…

LLAMA: Nuclear stellar properties of Swift BAT AGN and matched inactive galaxies

Ming-Yi Lin, R. I. Davies, E. K. S. Hicks +20

In a complete sample of local 14-195 keV selected AGNs and inactive galaxies, matched by their host galaxy properties, we study the spatially resolved stellar kinematics and lumino…

Galaxy evolution studies with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA): the power of IR spectroscopy

L. Spinoglio, A. Alonso-Herrero, L. Armus +65

IR spectroscopy in the range 12-230 micron with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) will reveal the physical processes that govern the formation and evolu…

SPICA and the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies: The Rise of Metals and Dust

J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros, L. Armus, M. Baes +33

The physical processes driving the chemical evolution of galaxies in the last cannot be understood without directly probing the dust-obscured phase of star-for…

Quasar-Mode Feedback in Nearby Type 1 Quasars: Ubiquitous Kiloparsec-Scale Outflows and Correlations with Black Hole Properties

David Rupke, Kayhan Gültekin, Sylvain Veilleux

The prevalence and properties of kiloparsec-scale outflows in nearby Type 1 quasars have been the subject of little previous attention. This work presents Gemini integral field spe…

Gas Content and Kinematics in Clumpy, Turbulent Star-forming Disks

Heidi A. White, David B. Fisher, Norman Murray +6

We present molecular gas mass estimates for a sample of 13 local galaxies whose kinematic and star forming properties closely resemble those observed in main-sequenc…

Cloud Scale ISM Structure and Star Formation in M51

Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +17

We compare the structure of molecular gas at pc resolution to the ability of gas to form stars across the disk of the spiral galaxy M51. We break the PAWS survey into pc…

ISM conditions in z~0.2 Lyman-Break Analogs

A. Contursi, A. J. Baker, S. Berta +16

We present an analysis of far--infrared (FIR) [CII] and [OI] fine structure line and continuum observations obtained with /PACS, and CO(1-0) observations obtained with th…

Quasar Feedback in the Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy F11119+3257: Connecting the Accretion Disk Wind with the Large-Scale Molecular Outflow

S. Veilleux, A. Bolatto, F. Tombesi +5

In Tombesi et al. (2015), we reported the first direct evidence for a quasar accretion disk wind driving a massive molecular outflow. The target was F11119+3257, an ultraluminous i…

The Swift/BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS) -- VI. The Gamma_X - L/L_Edd relation

Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci, Michael J. Koss +11

We study the observed relation between accretion rate (in terms of L/L_Edd) and shape of the hard X-ray spectral energy distribution (namely the photon index Gamma_X) for a large s…

Dense Molecular Gas Tracers in the Outflow of the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253

Fabian Walter, Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam K. Leroy +12

We present a detailed study of a molecular outflow feature in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 using ALMA. We find that this feature is clearly associated with the edge of NGC 2…

BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey - IV: Near-Infrared Coronal Lines, Hidden Broad Lines, and Correlation with Hard X-ray Emission

Isabella Lamperti, Michael Koss, Benny Trakhtenbrot +13

We provide a comprehensive census of the near-Infrared (NIR, 0.8-2.4 m) spectroscopic properties of 102 nearby (z < 0.075) active galactic nuclei (AGN), selected in the hard X-r…
