Molecular outflow and feedback in the obscured Quasar XID2028 revealed by ALMA

M. Brusa, G. Cresci, E. Daddi +29

We imaged with ALMA and ARGOS/LUCI the molecular gas and the dust and stellar continuum in XID2028, an obscured QSO at z=1.593, where the presence of a massive outflow in the ioniz…

Recoiling Supermassive Black Holes: a search in the Nearby Universe

D. Lena, A. Robinson, A. Marconi +4

The coalescence of a binary black hole can be accompanied by a large gravitational recoil due to anisotropic emission of gravitational waves. A recoiling supermassive black hole (S…

Spectroastrometry of rotating gas disks for the detection of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. III. CRIRES observations of the Circinus galaxy

A. Gnerucci, A. Marconi, A. Capetti +2

We present new CRIRES spectroscopic observations of BrGamma in the nuclear region of the Circinus galaxy, obtained with the aim of measuring the black hole (BH) mass with the spect…

The supermassive black hole in Centaurus A: a benchmark for gas kinematical measurements

A. Marconi, G. Pastorini, F. Pacini +5

We present new HST/STIS observations of Centaurus A. [SIII] 9533A was used to study the kinematics in the nuclear region with a 0.1" spatial resolution. The STIS data and the VLT/I…

Nuclear Properties of Nearby Spiral Galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS imaging and STIS Spectroscopy

M. A. Hughes, D. Axon, J. Atkinson +16

We investigate the central regions of 23 spiral galaxies using archival NICMOS imaging and STIS spectroscopy. The sample is taken from our program to determine the masses of centra…
