SKAVLBI view of AGN jets in the early Universe

C. Spingola, M. Mezcua, Y. Liu +33

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are among the brightest sources in the Universe, and those that are also jetted are uniquely valuable at the earliest epochs, because their relativisti…

Evolution of AGN Across Cosmic Epochs with the SKAO

R. Kondapally, V. Singh, G. Mazzolari +10

Understanding the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their host galaxies across cosmic epochs is one of the key science drivers of extragalactic astronomy. The detection…

Jet-mode feedback in NGC 5972: insights from resolved MUSE, GMRT and VLA observations

Arshi Ali, Biny Sebastian, Darshan Kakkad +10

NGC 5972, a Voorwerp galaxy, features a helical-shaped extended emission-line region (EELR) with a radius > 10 kpc and a S-shaped radio structure spanning about 470 kpc. We use VLT…

Searching for Dual AGN in Galaxies with Double-Peaked Emission Line Spectra using Radio Observations

K. Rubinur, M. Das, P. Kharb

Supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries form due to galaxy mergers and minor accretion events. When the SMBHs are accreting, they form dual or binary AGN and can give rise to doubl…
