Silicate emission in a type-2 quasar: JWST/MIRI constraints on torus geometry and radiative feedback

C. Ramos Almeida, A. Asensio Ramos, C. Westerdorp Plaza +13

Type-2 quasars (QSO2s) are AGN seen through a significant amount of dust and gas that obscures the central supermassive black hole and the broad line region. Despite this, recent m…

High resolution mapping of molecular tori with ALMA

F. Combes, A. Audibert, S. Garcia-Burillo +11

Recent high resolution mapping of the circum-nuclear regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has revealed the existence of geometrically thin nuclear disks, in general randomly ori…

Shock-driven heating in the circumnuclear star-forming regions of NGC 7582: Insights from JWST NIRSpec and MIRI/MRS spectroscopy

Oscar Veenema, Niranjan Thatte, Dimitra Rigopoulou +24

We present combined JWST NIRSpec and MIRI/MRS integral field spectroscopy data of the nuclear and circumnuclear regions of the highly dust obscured Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7582, which…

Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS) X: Molecular gas clumpiness under the influence of AGN

Federico Esposito, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Santiago García-Burillo +27

The distribution of molecular gas on small scales regulates star formation and the growth of supermassive black holes in galaxy centers, yet the role of active galactic nuclei (AGN…

GATOS IX: A Detailed Assessment and Treatment of Emission Line Contamination in JWST/MIRI Images of Nearby Seyfert Galaxies

Steph Campbell, David J. Rosario, Houda Haidar +17

Broadband mid-infrared (MIR) imaging with high spatial resolution is useful to study extended dust structures in the circumnuclear regions of nearby AGN. However, broadband imaging…

The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS): N. Unveiling physical processes in local active galaxies. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of JWST MIRI/MRS observations

L. Hermosa Muñoz, J. R. González Fernández, A. Alonso-Herrero +23

With the rise of the integral field spectroscopy, we are currently dealing with large amounts of spatially resolved data, whose analysis has become challenging, especially when obs…

Theoretical Diagnostics for the Physical Conditions in Active Galactic Nuclei under the View of JWST

Lulu Zhang, Ric I. Davies, Chris Packham +20

With excellent spectral and angular resolutions and, especially, sensitivity, the JWST allows us to observe infrared emission lines that were previously inaccessible or barely acce…

Molecular gas excitation and outflow properties of obscured quasars at z0.1

A. Audibert, C. Ramos Almeida, S. García-Burillo +4

To investigate the impact of winds and low-to-moderate power jets on the cold molecular gas reservoirs of AGN, we present high angular resolution ALMA CO(2-1) and CO(3-2) observati…

JWST reveals the diversity of nuclear obscuring dust in nearby AGN: nuclear isolation of MIRI/MRS datacubes and continuum spectral fitting

Omaira González-Martín, Daniel J. Díaz-González, Mariela Martínez-Paredes +22

We investigate the capabilities of the mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to advance our knowledge of AGN dust using the spectral fitting technique…

Unveiling the warm molecular outflow component of type-2 quasars with SINFONI

M. V. Zanchettin, C. Ramos Almeida, A. Audibert +5

We present seeing-limited (0.8 arcsec) near-infrared integral field spectroscopy data of the type-2 quasars (QSO2s) SDSS J135646.10+102609.0 (J1356) and SDSS J143029.89+133912.1 (J…
