Resolving the AGN Feeding and Feedback Cycle with ALMA2040
Ilaria Ruffa, Francesco Salvestrini, Almudena Alonso Herrero +13

From Scaling Relations to Physical Laws: Constraining the Physics of Star Formation Across Local Galaxies
Jakob den Brok, Cecilia Bacchini, Leindert A. Boogaard +21
The conversion of cold dense gas, traced by molecular line emission, into stars remains one of the fundamental unsolved problems in galaxy evolution. Observations over the past dec…
Molecular atlas of nearby galaxies through sensitive high-resolution multi-band molecular line surveys
Mathilde Bouvier, Erica Behrens, Laura Colzi +21

AGN Feeding and Feedback: Resolving the Torus
M. Pereira-Santaella, F. Combes, A. Alonso-Herrero +16
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) play a key role in galaxy evolution by regulating star formation within their host galaxies. It is therefore crucial to understand how the central supe…
Tracking the flow of interstellar gas across scales: from galaxies to star clusters
Ana Duarte-Cabral, Maxime Valeille-Manet, Mathilde Bouvier +30
While the baryon cycle of the interstellar medium - and its ability to form stars - plays a key role in galaxy evolution, unravelling the physical processes driving its evolution r…
Direct measures of black hole masses through cosmic time
Roberto Decarli, Sabine Thater, Ivan Delvecchio +16
Supermassive black holes (BHs) are thought to reside in all massive galaxies. They play a fundamental role in shaping galaxy evolution by suppressing star formation and halting the…
AGN Feeding & Feedback Over the Galactic Scales
Filippo M. Maccagni, Vincenzo Mainieri, Isabella Prandoni +8
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are key drivers of galaxy evolution, triggered by cold gas accreting onto a super-massive black hole. However, the processes regulating this gas accret…
MIGHTEE-HI: Mass Models and Dark Matter properties
Anastasia A. Ponomareva, P. E. Mancera Piña, A. A. Vărăşteanu +17
Measuring galaxy rotation curves is critical for inferring the properties of dark-matter haloes in the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm. We present HI rotation curves and…

Supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses can be measured using molecular gas kinematics. Here we present high angular resolution ( arcsec or pc) Atacama Large Millim…
WISDOM Project - XXVII. Giant molecular clouds of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1387: similarities with spiral galaxy clouds
Fu-Heng Liang, Martin Bureau, Lijie Liu +10
Molecular gas is crucial to understanding star formation and galaxy evolution, but the giant molecular clouds (GMCs) of early-type galaxies (ETGs) have rarely been studied. Here, w…
Stellar-mass black holes on the millimetre fundamental plane of black hole accretion
Jacob S. Elford, Ilaria Ruffa, Timothy A. Davis +5
Recent work revealed the existence of a galaxy "millimetre fundamental plane of black hole accretion", a tight correlation between nuclear mm luminosity, intrinsic - keV…
