The Line Emission Terahertz Observatory (LETO): Exploring the lifecycle of the ISM and the origins of water
Dimitra Rigopoulou, Peter Roelfsema, William Grainger +13
The Interstellar Medium (ISM) is the reservoir of baryonic matter from which stars and planetary systems are formed. It is also the repository of the material that is expelled at t…
Investigating black hole accretion and feedback self-regulation in Seyfert galaxies using the FIRE-3 cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Jonathan Mercedes-Feliz, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Jose Cevallos +12
Recent observations of local Seyfert galaxies show an intriguing connection between Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) luminosity and a deficit of molecular gas on ~50pc scales compared…
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…
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…
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…
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…
