Coronal gas excitation as a tracer of supermassive black hole mass: on the mid-IR coronal [Ne v] lines
J. S. Elford, A. Prieto, A. Rodríguez-Ardila
Coronal lines (CL) may be a reliable proxy of supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses in active galactic nuclei (AGN) because the production of these high ionisation potential (IP) l…
WISDOM Project - XXVII. Giant molecular clouds of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1387: similarities with spiral galaxy clouds
Fu-Heng Liang, Martin Bureau, Lijie Liu +10
Molecular gas is crucial to understanding star formation and galaxy evolution, but the giant molecular clouds (GMCs) of early-type galaxies (ETGs) have rarely been studied. Here, w…
Stellar-mass black holes on the millimetre fundamental plane of black hole accretion
Jacob S. Elford, Ilaria Ruffa, Timothy A. Davis +5
Recent work revealed the existence of a galaxy "millimetre fundamental plane of black hole accretion", a tight correlation between nuclear mm luminosity, intrinsic - keV…

Hengyue Zhang, Martin Bureau, Ilaria Ruffa +5
We present a molecular gas dynamical supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass measurement in the nearby barred lenticular galaxy NGC 1574, using Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter…
The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS): A comparison between sub-mm and optical AGN diagnostic diagrams
Jacob S. Elford, Timothy A. Davis, Ilaria Ruffa +9
The relation suggests that there is a tight connection between dense gas and star formation. We use data from the Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS) to inve…
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…
WISDOM Project -- XXII. A 5% precision CO-dynamical supermassive black hole mass measurement in the galaxy NGC 383
Hengyue Zhang, Martin Bureau, Ilaria Ruffa +8
We present a measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass of the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 383, based on Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) observati…
Deciphering the imprint of AGN feedback in Seyfert galaxies: Nuclear-scale molecular gas deficits
S. García-Burillo, E. K. S. Hicks, A. Alonso-Herrero +26
We use a sample of 64 nearby (D=7-45 Mpc) disk galaxies including 45 AGN and 19 non-AGN, that have high spatial resolution multiline CO observations obtained with the ALMA and/or P…
WISDOM project XX -- Strong shear tearing molecular clouds apart in NGC 524
Anan Lu, Daryl Haggard, Martin Bureau +17
Early-type galaxies (ETGs) are known to harbour dense spheroids of stars but scarce star formation (SF). Approximately a quarter of these galaxies have rich molecular gas reservoir…

Hengyue Zhang, Martin Bureau, Mark D. Smith +7
The mass () of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) can be measured using spatially-resolved kinematics of the region where the SMBH dominates gravitationally. The most…
WISDOM Project -- XVI. The link between circumnuclear molecular gas reservoirs and active galactic nucleus fuelling
Jacob S. Elford, Timothy A. Davis, Ilaria Ruffa +8
We use high-resolution data from the millimetre-Wave Interferometric Survey of Dark Object Masses (WISDOM) project to investigate the connection between circumnuclear gas reservoir…
WISDOM project -- XVIII. Molecular gas distributions and kinematics of three megamaser galaxies
Fu-Heng Liang, Mark D. Smith, Martin Bureau +11
The co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBHs) underpins our understanding of galaxy evolution, but different methods to measure SMBH masses have only infrequent…
