Dust destruction signals shock-accelerated outflows in the nearby active galaxy NGC 1068
Luke R. Holden, Clive N. Tadhunter, Daniel J. B. Smith +3
Massive gas outflows driven by active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a key ingredient in models of galaxy evolution, in which they are required to regulate star formation and thus expla…
JWST resolves jet-driven H2 and ionized outflows in radio galaxy 3C305
B. Sebastian, P. M. Ogle, P. Guillard +17
We present JWST MIRI MRS, NIRSpec, NIRCam, and MIRI imaging observations of 3C 305, a radio galaxy with a compact jet that is confined within the galaxy. We use the H2 0-0 S(1)-S(7…
Extended coronal line emission and new clues to a possible dual AGN in the merger J1356+1026
M. Bianchin, C. Ramos Almeida, O. González-MartÃn +12
Merging luminous galaxies are ideal laboratories to study some of the most extreme astrophysical phenomena. The local (z=0.1232) obscured quasar J1356+1026 has two nuclei, North an…
The dependence of triggering mechanisms on radio AGN sub-types: the role of galaxy mergers
Freya Barwell, Clive N. Tadhunter, Jonathon C. S. Pierce +10
Powerful, radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are associated with one of the most important forms of AGN feedback, and understanding how they are triggered is key to properly i…
QSOFEED: Investigating warm molecular, low- and high-ionization atomic gas in six type-2 quasars with GTC/EMIR
P. H. Cezar, M. Coloma Puga, C. Ramos Almeida +6
We present long-slit near-infrared spectroscopic observations of six nearby (z0.1) radio-quiet type-2 quasars (QSO2s) from the Quasar Feedback (QSOFEED) sample. They have bol…
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…
