Multiphase Analysis of (U)LIRG Nuclear Activity (MAUNA). I. Spatially Resolved Optical Emission-Line Diagnostics

Justin A. Kader, Vivian U, Marina Bianchin +33

We present resolved optical integral-field spectroscopy of the 32 luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxy systems of the Multiphase Analysis of (U)LIRG Nuclear Activity (MAUNA)…

Direct Tests of Black Hole Accretion Rate Prescriptions: I. Bondi Accretion at Different Scales

James Agostino, Ming-Yi Lin, Natasha Jones +9

We present spatially resolved parsec-scale measurements of nuclear conditions (gas density and kinetic temperature) relevant for black hole accretion rate predictions in the Seyfer…

A precessing jet from an active galactic nucleus drives gas outflow from a disk galaxy

Justin A. Kader, Vivian U, Loreto Barcos-Muñoz +30

To reproduce observed galaxy properties, cosmological simulations require that massive galaxies experience feedback from active galactic nuclei, which regulates star formation with…

Shockingly Effective: Cluster Winds as Engines of Feedback in Starburst Galaxy VV 114

Justin A. Kader, Vivian U, Jeffrey A. Rich +29

We present high-resolution Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) and MUSE IFU spectroscopy of VV 114, a local infrared-luminous merger undergoing a vigorous starburst and showing evidence…

Mass of the Southern Black Hole in NGC 6240 from Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics

Anne M. Medling, S. Mark Ammons, Claire E. Max +3

NGC 6240 is a pair of colliding disk galaxies, each with a black hole in its core. We have used laser guide star adaptive optics on the Keck II telescope to obtain high-resolution…

Spatially-Resolved Spectroscopy of SDSS J0952+2552: a Confirmed Dual AGN

R. C. McGurk, C. E. Max, D. J. Rosario +3

Most massive galaxies contain supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in their cores. When galaxies merge, gas is driven to nuclear regions and can accrete onto the central black hole. Th…
