IC 485:a new candidate disk-maser galaxy at 100 Mpc distance. Milliarcsecond resolution study of the galaxy nucleus and of the megamaser
E. Ladu, A. Tarchi, P. Castangia +4
Masers are a unique tool to investigate the emitting gas in the innermost regions of AGNs and to map accretion disks and tori orbiting around supermassive black holes. IC485, which…
183 GHz water megamasers in active galactic nuclei: a new accretion disk tracer
Dominic W. Pesce, James A. Braatz, Christian Henkel +3
We present the results of an ALMA survey to identify 183 GHz HO maser emission from AGN already known to host 22 GHz megamaser systems. Out of 20 sources observed, we detect si…
A restless supermassive black hole in the galaxy J0437+2456
Dominic W. Pesce, Anil C. Seth, Jenny E. Greene +4
We present the results from an observing campaign to confirm the peculiar motion of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in J0437+2456 first reported in Pesce et al. (2018). Deep obs…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project. XIII. Combined Hubble constant constraints
D. W. Pesce, J. A. Braatz, M. J. Reid +8
We present a measurement of the Hubble constant made using geometric distance measurements to megamaser-hosting galaxies. We have applied an improved approach for fitting maser dat…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project. XI. A geometric distance to CGCG 074-064
D. W. Pesce, J. A. Braatz, M. J. Reid +6
As part of the survey component of the Megamaser Cosmology Project, we have discovered a disk megamaser system in the galaxy CGCG 074-064. Using the GBT and the VLA, we have obtain…
A More Efficient Search for H2O Megamaser Galaxies : The Power of the X-ray and Mid-infrared Photometry
C. Y. Kuo, J. Y. Hsiang, H. H. Chung +10
We present a new investigation of the dependence of H2O maser detection rates and properties on the mid-IR AGN luminosity, L_AGN, and the obscuring column density, N_H, based on mi…
