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…
XRISM Resolves the Circum-nuclear Environment of NGC 4945
Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Yoshihiro Ueda +31
Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) represent one of the most elusive phases of massive black hole growth, yet are expected to contribute substantially to the Cosmic X-ray B…
Two Peas in a Pod: The First Confirmed Dual Active Galactic Nucleus within a Green Pea Galaxy System
Konstantinos Kouroumpatzakis, Peter G. Boorman, JiÅÃ Svoboda +5
The growth of galaxies in the early Universe is thought to be dominated by compact, intensely star-forming systems, yet the corresponding growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs)…
Low-hard to high-soft spectral state transitions in the faintest early-X-ray-detected optical tidal disruption event TDE 2025aarm
Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Andrea Merloni +11
The paper presents X‑ray and optical spectroscopic observations of the nearby tidal disruption event TDE 2025aarm, revealing a low‑hard to high‑soft spectral state transition that…
The Hunt for Red Dual AGNs I: Spatially-Resolved Mid-IR Dual AGNs in the DeCam Legacy Survey
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly A. Weaver, Barry Rothberg +13
Theoretical studies predict that dual AGNs are a critical stage of galaxy merger-driven supermassive black hole growth. Systematic searches for dual AGNs typically target late-stag…
Blueberry and Green Pea galaxies live in low density environments
Maitrayee Gupta, JiÅÃ Svoboda, Konstantinos Kouroumpatzakis +3
Little is currently known about the large-scale environments of Green Pea (GP) and Blueberry (BB) galaxies, which are low-mass, compact systems with extreme specific star-formation…
