GATOS XIV: The first direct kinematic evidence of dusty outflows from AGN via PAH kinematics of local Seyfert galaxies with JWST
Fergus R. Donnan, Ismael GarcÃa-Bernete, Dimitra Rigopoulou +30
We present the first spatially resolved kinematic evidence for dust in the outflows of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We utilise observations from JWST with NIRSpec IFU and MIRI MRS…
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…
Abundant hydrocarbons in a buried galactic nucleus with signs of carbonaceous grain and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon processing
I. GarcÃa-Bernete, M. Pereira-Santaella, E. González-Alfonso +5
Hydrocarbons play a key role in shaping the chemistry of the interstellar medium (ISM), but their enrichment and relationship with carbonaceous grains and polycyclic aromatic hydro…
Extending the Frontier of Spatially-Resolved Supermassive Black Hole Mass Measurements to at : Simulations with ELT/MICADO High-Resolution Mass Models and HARMONI Integral-Field Stellar Kinematics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Michele Cappellari, Tinh Q. T. Le +8
Current spatially resolved kinematic measurements of supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses are largely confined to the local Universe (distances Mpc). We investigate…
The Supermassive Black Hole in the Nearby Spiral Galaxy M81: A Robust Mass from JWST/NIRSpec Stellar Dynamics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Tuan N. Le, Michele Cappellari +9
Despite its proximity, the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the spiral galaxy M81 (NGC~3031) has remained uncertain, with previous dynamical measurements being unrelia…
Measuring the Central Dark Mass in NGC 4258 with JWST/NIRSpec Stellar Kinematics
Dieu D. Nguyen, Hai N. Ngo, Michele Cappellari +8
We present a new stellar dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4258, a critical benchmark for extragalactic mass measurem…
