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…
Misaligned or chaotic? A strong break of axial symmetry in the local LRD J1025 revealed with VLT/FORS2 spectropolarimetry
Francesco D'Eugenio, Gabriele Pezzulli, Roberto Maiolino +18
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact active galactic nuclei (AGN) with unusual spectral energy distributions and broad Balmer emission, candidate signposts of rapid black-hole growth…
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…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Mapping formation pathways of nuclear star clusters across galaxies
Francesca Pinna, Isabel Pérez, Anna Ferré-Mateu +21
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense, compact stellar systems only a few parsecs across, located at galaxy centers. Their small sizes make them difficult to resolve spatially. NS…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Cosmology and High-z Universe
Pablo G. Pérez-González, Roberto Maiolino, Pascal A. Oesch +16
Full sky coverage with 30-40 meter-class telescopes is essential to answer fundamental questions in Astrophysics, Cosmology, and Physics, such as the composition of the Universe an…
