The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) VIII. The cool gas distribution surrounding galaxies at redshifts z ~ 0.5-2

Edoardo Santo, Michele Fumagalli, Seok-Jun Chang +5

We use deep MUSE data from the MUDF survey to investigate the cool gas around galaxies at redshifts 0.5 < z < 2. We constructed two samples: one sample for a down-the-barrel analys…

The warm outer layer of a Little Red Dot as the source of [Fe II] and collisional Balmer lines with scattering wings

Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Gabriele Pezzulli +22

The population of the Little Red Dots (LRDs) may represent a key phase of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. A cocoon of dense excited gas is emerging as key component to expla…
