Compact near infrared sources in the center of the extraordinary galaxy IC 860
J. S. Gallagher, L. Schisgal, G. C. Privon +7
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images are used to study the structure of the central regions of the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) IC 860. IC 860 is of special interest as a system…
Millimeter emission from supermassive black hole coronae
S. del Palacio, C. Yang, S. Aalto +28
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) host accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The accretion can lead to the formation of a hot, X-ray emitting corona close to the SMBH capable of a…
High resolution ALMA observations of HS in LIRGS (Dense gas and shocks in outflows and CNDs)
M. T. Sato, S. Aalto, S. König +14
Molecular gas plays a critical role in regulating star formation and nuclear activity in galaxies. Sulphur bearing molecules, such as H2S, are sensitive to the physical and chemica…
Searching for Compact Obscured Nuclei in Compton Thick AGN
Makoto A. Johnstone, George C. Privon, Loreto Barcos-Munoz +16
Compact Obscured Nuclei (CONs) are heavily obscured infrared cores that have been found in local (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs). They show bright emission from vibrati…
On unveiling Buried Nuclei with JWST: a technique for hunting the most obscured galaxy nuclei from local to high redshift
I. GarcÃa-Bernete, F. R. Donnan, D. Rigopoulou +12
We analyze JWST NIRSpec+MIRI/MRS observations of the infrared (IR) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) features in the central regions (0.26'' at 6 micron; 50-440 pc…
