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…

Kinematic detection of dusty outflows from active galactic nuclei: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon kinematics of type 2 quasars with JWST/MIRI spectroscopy

Fergus R. Donnan, Cristina Ramos Almeida, Omaira González Martín +5

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to have dusty outflows, but unlike in the gas phase, it is challenging to measure the kinematics of dust. We present the detection and anal…

PAHSPECS: Spatially Resolved PAH Spectroscopy at cosmic noon with JWST MIRI MRS

Fergus R. Donnan, Karin Sandstrom, Irene Shivaei +10

We present spatially resolved spectroscopy with JWST/MIRI MRS of a representative sample of normal star-forming galaxies at as part of the PAHSPECS program. To extract e…

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 García-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…

PAHSPECS: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon properties at cosmic noon with JWST/MIRI MRS

Cristina Maria Lofaro, Tanio Díaz Santos, Irene Shivaei +13

Context. Cosmic noon (z ~ 1-3) marks the peak of the cosmic star-formation rate density, when dust-obscured star formation dominated galaxy growth. Mid-infrared spectroscopy probes…

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…
