We utilize JWST/MIRI IFU observations from the Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS) to investigate the diverse range of ionized outflow rates of obscured AGN with simi…
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…
GATOS. VIII. On the physical origin of the extended MIR emission in AGN
Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Cristina Ramos Almeida, Miguel Pereira-Santaella +31
The polar mid-infrared (MIR) emission detected within 10-100s pcs in some active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been associated with dusty winds driven away by radiation pressure. The p…
The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS). VII. The 20-214 m imaging atlas of active galactic nuclei using SOFIA
Lindsay Fuller, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Ismael Garcia-Bernete +24
We present a 19.7 - 214 m imaging atlas of local (4 - 181 Mpc; median 43 Mpc) active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed with FORCAST and HAWC+ on board the SOFIA telescope with angu…
