Dust production in the harsh environment of Sgr A* - MIRI/JWST observation of the O-rich asymptotic giant branch star IRS~3
F. Peißker, M. García Marín, A. Eckart +18
Studies of the interstellar medium (ISM) have frequently revealed signatures of the dust produced in the envelopes of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, demonstrating a connectio…
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,…
Dissecting the Obscured Core of GN20: an Active Galactic Nucleus Outshone by Young Stars
M. Hamed, L. Colina, P. G. Pérez-González +17
We investigate the relative contributions of star formation and AGN activity to the total energy budget of GN20, one of the most luminous dusty star-forming galaxies known at …
GATOS XIV: The first direct kinematic evidence of dusty outflows from AGN via PAH kinematics of local Seyfert galaxies with JWST
Fergus R. Donnan, Ismael GarcÃa-Bernete, Dimitra Rigopoulou +30
We present the first spatially resolved kinematic evidence for dust in the outflows of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We utilise observations from JWST with NIRSpec IFU and MIRI MRS…
JWST reveals the diversity of nuclear obscuring dust in nearby AGN: nuclear isolation of MIRI/MRS datacubes and continuum spectral fitting
Omaira González-MartÃn, Daniel J. DÃaz-González, Mariela MartÃnez-Paredes +22
We investigate the capabilities of the mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to advance our knowledge of AGN dust using the spectral fitting technique…
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…
