MICONIC: The spatial relationship between star formation and the AGN in Centaurus A revealed by JWST/MIRI

O. C. Jones, M. L. Jones, D. Dicken +21

Centaurus A (Cen A), the nearest active radio galaxy, hosts a warped dust disc formed in a gas-rich merger. We present JWST/MIRI imaging in three filters, F560W, F770W, and F1130W,…

The Multi-phase Biconical Outflow in the local IR-Luminous Merger IRASF01364-1042

Y. Song, V. U, J. Kader +37

We investigate the spatially-resolved ISM properties of the local (), IR-luminous (\,L), late-stage galaxy merger IRAS F01364-1042, comb…

MICONIC: The multiphase circumnuclear region of Centaurus A as seen with JWST/MIRI MRS observations. I. Spectral inventory and properties of the warm molecular disk

L. Evangelista, P. Guillard, J. Martin +21

Supermassive black holes power Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), injecting energy that regulates accretion and shapes host galaxies. We investigate the morphology, excitation, and kine…

GOALS-JWST: Resolved multi-phase molecular gas in IRAS 20551-4250 using JWST and ALMA

D. Kakkad, Y. Song, T. S. -Y. Lai +24

Studying the content and distribution of molecular gas provides key insights into how feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and star formation influences galaxy evolution, sin…

MICONIC: JWST/MIRI-MRS reveals heavily reprocessed PAH emission in the circum-nuclear disc of Centaurus A

L. Pantoni, M. Baes, L. Decin +23

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key dust components in galaxies and play a fundamental role in the physics of the interstellar medium (ISM), yet their response to AGN f…

Spatially Resolved Star Formation relations in local LIRGs along the complete merger sequence

M. Sánchez-García, T. Díaz-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…
