T. Saha, M. Krumpe, A. Markowitz +9
Changing-look AGNs (CLAGN) are accreting supermassive black hole systems that undergo variations in optical spectral type, driven by major changes in accretion rate. Mrk 1018 has u…
ALMA observation of evolving magnetized corona in the radio-quiet changing-state AGN NGC 1566
Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Sophie M. Venselaar +9
The origin of compact millimeter (mm) continuum emission from radio-quiet AGNs (RQAGNs) is still not fully understood. Changing-state AGNs (CSAGNs) display rapid and strong variabi…
WISDOM project -- XXIII. Star-formation efficiencies of eight early-type galaxies and bulges observed with SITELLE and ALMA
Anan Lu, Daryl Haggard, Martin Bureau +18
Early-type galaxies (ETGs) are known to harbour dense spheroids of stars with scarce star formation (SF). Approximately a quarter of these galaxies have rich molecular gas reservoi…
The resolved star-formation efficiency of early-type galaxies
Thomas G. Williams, Francesco Belfiore, Martin Bureau +19
Understanding how and why star formation varies between galaxies is fundamental to our comprehension of galaxy evolution. In particular, the star-formation efficiency (SFE; star-fo…
