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,…
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…
GATOS N: Extended circumnuclear dust emission in nearby Seyfert galaxies surveyed by JWST/MIRI
David J. Rosario, Houda Haidar, Steph Campbell +32
The subarcsecond angular resolution and stable background of JWST has given us the first high-fidelity images of the arcsecond-scale environment around Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs…
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…
Decoupling the AGN outflow and star-forming disk kinematics in the nuclear region of NGC 7582 with JWST NIRSpec and MIRI/MRS
Oscar Veenema, Niranjan Thatte, Dimitra Rigopoulou +24
We present a detailed study of the inner regions of NGC~7582, a nearby Seyfert~2 galaxy, from the Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS). The galaxy hosts a circumnuclea…
