LeMMINGs VII: 5 GHz, 50 mas e-MERLIN observations of a statistically complete sample of nearby AGN

D. R. A. Williams-Baldwin, R. D. Baldi, R. J. Beswick +36

We present 5 GHz e-MERLIN radio images at 50 mas resolution of the nuclear regions of the Legacy e-MERLIN Multi-band Imaging of Nearby Galaxies survey (LeMMINGs), the deepest stati…

GATOS XI : Excess dust heating in the Narrow Line Regions of nearby AGN revealed with JWST/MIRI

Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Ismael García-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…

Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS) X: Molecular gas clumpiness under the influence of AGN

Federico Esposito, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Santiago García-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…

Chandra Follow-up Observations of Swift-BAT-selected AGNs III

Isaiah S. Cox, Núria Torres-Albà, Stefano Marchesi +5

The cosmic X-ray background (CXB) is dominated by the obscured and unobscured coronal light of active galactic nuclei (AGN). At energies below 10 keV, the CXB can be well explained…

Towards a complete census of luminous Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei in the local Universe

A. Akylas, I. Georgantopoulos, P. Gandhi +2

X-ray surveys provide the most efficient means for the detection of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). However, they face difficulties in detecting the most heavily obscured Compton-thi…

A biconical ionised gas outflow and evidence for positive feedback in NGC 7172 uncovered by MIRI/JWST

L. Hermosa Muñoz, A. Alonso-Herrero, M. Pereira-Santaella +35

We present observations of the type-2 Seyfert NGC7172 obtained with the medium-resolution spectrometer (MRS) of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board of the JWST. This galaxy…

GATOS: missing molecular gas in the outflow of NGC5728 revealed by JWST

R. Davies, T. Shimizu, M. Pereira-Santaella +49

The ionisation cones of NGC5728 have a deficit of molecular gas based on millimetre observations of CO(2-1) emission. Although photoionisation from the active nucleus may lead to s…

Dust beyond the torus: Revealing the mid-infrared heart of local Seyfert ESO 428-G14 with JWST/MIRI

Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Almudena Alonso-Herrero +34

Polar dust has been discovered in a number of local Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), with radiation-driven torus models predicting a wind to be its main driver. However, little is kno…

The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS). III: Revealing the inner icy structure in local AGN

I. García-Bernete, A. Alonso-Herrero, D. Rigopoulou +24

We use JWST/MIRI MRS spectroscopy of a sample of six local obscured type 1.9/2 active galactic nuclei (AGN) to compare their nuclear mid-IR absorption bands with the level of nucle…

Compton-Thick AGN in the NuSTAR era VI: The observed Compton-thick fraction in the Local Universe

N. Torres-Albà, S. Marchesi, X. Zhao +11

We present the analysis of simultaneous NuSTAR and XMM-Newton data of 8 Compton-thick (CT-) active galactic nuclei (AGN) candidates selected in the Swift-Burst Alert Telescope (BAT…
