GATOS: Distinct Feedback Modes in AGN Central Regions Revealed by Spatially Resolved JWST Spectroscopy
Lulu Zhang, Chris Packham, Erin K. S. Hicks +25
This manuscript presents JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the central pc regions of five active galactic nuclei (AGN) spanning a wide range of luminosities (${\rm l…
Dissecting the Obscured Core of GN20: an Active Galactic Nucleus Outshone by Young Stars
M. Hamed, L. Colina, P. G. Pérez-González +17
We investigate the relative contributions of star formation and AGN activity to the total energy budget of GN20, one of the most luminous dusty star-forming galaxies known at …
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 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…
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…
Jet-driven shocks and turbulence in radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei observed with JWST MIRI/MRS
Rogemar A. Riffel, Gabriel L. Souza-Oliveira, Luis Colina +34
Jet-cloud interactions are a key manifestation of Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) feedback on nuclear scales, distinct from the large-scale radio-mode feedback that suppresses gas co…
