Direct Tests of Black Hole Accretion Rate Prescriptions: I. Bondi Accretion at Different Scales
James Agostino, Ming-Yi Lin, Natasha Jones +9
We present spatially resolved parsec-scale measurements of nuclear conditions (gas density and kinetic temperature) relevant for black hole accretion rate predictions in the Seyfer…
Molecular Outflows in the Nucleus of the Nearby Compton-thick AGN NGC 3079
Ming-Yi Lin, Anne Medling, Richard Davies +14
We present Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) observations of the CO (2-1) molecular gas kinematics in the nearby Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3079, with an angular r…
Constraining Nuclear Molecular Gas Content with High-resolution CO Imaging of GOALS Galaxies
James Agostino, Anne M. Medling, Loreto Barcos-Muñoz +11
We present measurements of the cool molecular gas mass around the nuclei of two gas-rich mergers, III Zw 035 and IRAS F01364-1042, whose enclosed masses (M) within t…
Spatially Resolved Star Formation relations in local LIRGs along the complete merger sequence
M. Sánchez-GarcÃa, T. DÃaz-Santos, L. Barcos-Muñoz +25
We investigate the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) at ~100 pc scales in a sample of 27 nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) spanning the entire merger sequence. In…
A precessing jet from an active galactic nucleus drives gas outflow from a disk galaxy
Justin A. Kader, Vivian U, Loreto Barcos-Muñoz +30
To reproduce observed galaxy properties, cosmological simulations require that massive galaxies experience feedback from active galactic nuclei, which regulates star formation with…
Clumpy, dense gas in the outflow of NGC 1266
Justin Atsushi Otter, Katherine Alatalo, Kate Rowlands +23
Outflows are one of the most spectacular mechanisms through which active galactic nuclei (AGN) impact their host galaxy, though the role of AGN-driven outflows in global star forma…
