Using VLTI/GRAVITY+ to determine the identity of a third planet candidate in the PDS 70 system
David Trevascus, Wolfgang Brandner, Olga Balsalobre-Ruza +75
Detections of protoplanets are rare and protoplanetary disk features mischaracterized as planets are common. PDS 70 is one of only two stars known to host multiple confirmed protop…
GATOS XI : Excess dust heating in the Narrow Line Regions of nearby AGN revealed with JWST/MIRI
Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Ismael GarcÃa-Bernete +38
We present JWST/MIRI imaging of eight nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from the GATOS survey to investigate the physical conditions of extended dust in their narrow line regions…
Silicate emission in a type-2 quasar: JWST/MIRI constraints on torus geometry and radiative feedback
C. Ramos Almeida, A. Asensio Ramos, C. Westerdorp Plaza +13
Type-2 quasars (QSO2s) are AGN seen through a significant amount of dust and gas that obscures the central supermassive black hole and the broad line region. Despite this, recent m…
Exomoon search with VLTI/GRAVITY around the substellar companion HD 206893 B
Q. Kral, J. Wang, J. Kammerer +130
Direct astrometric detection of exomoons remains unexplored. This study presents the first application of high-precision astrometry to search for exomoons around substellar compani…
GATOS. VIII. On the physical origin of the extended MIR emission in AGN
Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Cristina Ramos Almeida, Miguel Pereira-Santaella +31
The polar mid-infrared (MIR) emission detected within 10-100s pcs in some active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been associated with dusty winds driven away by radiation pressure. The p…
Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS) X: Molecular gas clumpiness under the influence of AGN
Federico Esposito, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Santiago GarcÃa-Burillo +27
The distribution of molecular gas on small scales regulates star formation and the growth of supermassive black holes in galaxy centers, yet the role of active galactic nuclei (AGN…
