Chemical abundance patterns at z=1-7: Carbon, Nitrogen, Neon, Sulphur, and Argon abundances from JWST spectroscopy

E. Cataldi, F. Belfiore, M. Curti +22

The relative abundances of chemical elements in the interstellar medium (ISM) trace the history of star formation and chemical enrichment in galaxies. We investigate the abundance…

Dual and lensed AGN at sub-arcsecond separations uncovered by ERIS

M. V. Zanchettin, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +62

We present the first results of the ongoing INAF GTO program focused on the search of sub-arcsecond dual AGN, carried out with the near-infrared integral-field unit SPIFFIER of the…

Resolving the AGN Feeding and Feedback Cycle with ALMA2040

Ilaria Ruffa, Francesco Salvestrini, Almudena Alonso Herrero +13

Understanding how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow and regulate the growth of their host galaxies requires tracing the cold molecular interstellar medium (ISM) throughout the…

AGN Feeding and Feedback: Resolving the Torus

M. Pereira-Santaella, F. Combes, A. Alonso-Herrero +16

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) play a key role in galaxy evolution by regulating star formation within their host galaxies. It is therefore crucial to understand how the central supe…

Cosmic Duets II. Growth and accretion in Gaia Multi-Peak dual AGN at Cosmic Noon

M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, D. Izquierdo-Villalba +36

We present the first statistical characterization of the physical properties of Cosmic Duets: dual AGN in the redshift range 0.5 z 3.0 with projected separations of 1…

GA-NIFS: sRMS, a new method for disentangling resolved and unresolved emission in integral field spectroscopy. Application to distant quasars

Michele Perna, Santiago Arribas, Carlota Prieto-Jiménez +28

The interpretation of AGN emission-line profiles in type1 AGN is often complicated by the dominance of bright, spatially unresolved nuclear continuum and broad-line region (BLR) em…

LoTSS of dual AGN: enhanced detectability and prospects for a systematic search

Q. D'Amato, F. Mannucci, E. De Rubeis +25

Context: Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) - systems of two accreting supermassive black holes at kpc-scale separations - trace galaxy mergers and are the progenitors of gravitati…

Low-power jet-ISM coupling and disk-plane perturbations in the edge-on Seyfert galaxy NGC 4388

M. Ceci, G. Venturi, C. Marconcini +26

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) may regulate galaxy evolution through radiatively driven winds and collimated jets, but their relative impact and coupling to the interstellar medium (…

A new era for Dual AGN science with SHARP

P. Severgnini, C. Vignali, A. De Rosa +21

The search for and the characterization of ultra-compact dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the hottest topics of current extragalactic astrophysics. These systems involve…

HYPERION. The cold ISM of rapidly growing quasars: diverse gas reservoirs, dust enrichment, and feedback signatures

Claudia Maria Pierro, Roberta Tripodi, Laura Pentericci +11

Luminous QSOs at host some of the most rapidly assembled SMBHs in the early Universe. Characterizing their cold ISM is essential to determine their evolution. We investigate…

Enhanced activity in close dual-AGN systems in the local Universe

Lorenzo Battistini, Alessandra De Rosa, Paola Severgnini +16

We present the study of an X-ray selected sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in pairs at projected spatial separations 1 </kpc < 100 at z < 0.1, using XMM-Newton and Chan…

Extended coronal line emission and new clues to a possible dual AGN in the merger J1356+1026

M. Bianchin, C. Ramos Almeida, O. González-Martín +12

Merging luminous galaxies are ideal laboratories to study some of the most extreme astrophysical phenomena. The local (z=0.1232) obscured quasar J1356+1026 has two nuclei, North an…

Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing

Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40

The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…

QSOFEED: Investigating warm molecular, low- and high-ionization atomic gas in six type-2 quasars with GTC/EMIR

P. H. Cezar, M. Coloma Puga, C. Ramos Almeida +6

We present long-slit near-infrared spectroscopic observations of six nearby (z0.1) radio-quiet type-2 quasars (QSO2s) from the Quasar Feedback (QSOFEED) sample. They have bol…

One cloud is not enough: extreme conditions bias chemical abundances in high-redshift galaxies

Bianca Moreschini, Francesco Belfiore, Alessandro Marconi +18

Since its launch, JWST has opened an unprecedented opportunity to characterise the ionised ISM of high-redshift galaxies using well-established rest-frame UV/optical diagnostics fr…
