JWST Reveals Compact Nuclear Starbursts Masquerading as AGNs in Metal-Poor Dwarfs: Where Are the Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?
William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Jeffrey D. Mckaig +19
We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission,…
The Hunt for Red Dual AGNs I: Spatially-Resolved Mid-IR Dual AGNs in the DeCam Legacy Survey
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly A. Weaver, Barry Rothberg +13
Theoretical studies predict that dual AGNs are a critical stage of galaxy merger-driven supermassive black hole growth. Systematic searches for dual AGNs typically target late-stag…
A High Resolution Search for Dual AGN Candidates in Mergers: A Pre-Selection Strategy using Keck AO
Camilo Vazquez, S. Satyapal, G. Canalizo +20
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy mergers with separations 1 kpc are crucial to our understanding of SMBH growth, galaxy evolution, and SMBH binary evolution…
Varstrometry for Dual AGN using Radio interferometry: VaDAR with the VLBA
Emma Schwartzman, Paula Fudolig, Tracy Clarke +6
Multiple active galactic nuclei (multi-AGN) are a known result of galaxy mergers. Therefore, they are an important tool for studying the formation and dynamical evolution of galaxi…
NGDEEP: The Star Formation and Ionization Properties of Galaxies at
Lu Shen, Casey Papovich, Jasleen Matharu +23
We use JWST/NIRISS slitless spectroscopy from the Next Generation Deep Extragalactic Exploratory Public (NGDEEP) Survey to investigate the physical condition of star-forming galaxi…
Super-Size Me: The Big Multi-AGN Catalog (The Big MAC), Data Release 1: The Source Catalog
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly A. Weaver, Nathan J. Secrest +2
Galaxy mergers represent the most transformative and dramatic avenue for galaxy and supermassive black hole (SMBH) evolution. Multi-active galactic nuclei (multi-AGNs) are expected…
