High-spectral-resolution Observations of the [S II] Emission-line Doublet in the Filamentary Nebula Surrounding NGC 1275
Benjamin Vigneron, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Carter Lee Rhea +10
We analyze new high-spectral resolution SITELLE observations (R = = 7000) of the filamentary nebula surrounding NGC 1275, central galaxy of the Perseus cluster. We present h…
Numerous bow shocks in the outer Helix Nebula
Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham, William P. Bowman +5
Near the end of their lives, low- and intermediate-mass stars expel metal-enriched material in winds and outflows, ultimately producing planetary nebulae (PNe). The ejected materia…
Mapping gas accretion and stellar kinematics to sub-kiloparsec scales in NGC 4696 with JWST/NIRSpec
Mathieu Marquis, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Olivia Pereira +35
We present JWST/NIRSpec IFU spectroscopy of the central pc () of NGC 4696, the BCG in the Centaurus cluster. Leveraging the (…
JWST reveals how black holes are fed: kiloparsec-scale multiphase filaments feed sub-kiloparsec circumnuclear disks
Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Hyunseop Choi, Minghao Guo +35
The Centaurus cluster is one of the most important archetypes of radio-mode AGN feedback, with its central galaxy, NGC 4696, launching powerful jets that inflate X-ray cavities and…
dfcosmic: A Python package for cosmic ray removal
Carter Lee Rhea, Pieter van Dokkum, Steven R. Janssens +5
Astronomical images often show sharp features that are caused by cosmic ray (CR) hits, hot pixels, or non-Gaussian noise. L.A.Cosmic (van Dokkum 2001) is a widely used edge detecti…
Discovery of Diffuse Radio Emission in a Massive z=1.709 Cool Core Cluster: A Candidate Radio Mini-Halo
Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Roland Timmerman, Christoph Pfrommer +10
Clusters of galaxies host spectacular diffuse radio sources, extending over scales from 100 kpc to several Mpcs. These sources, with extremely faint surface brightness (Jy/arcs…
