Mapping gas accretion and stellar kinematics to sub-kiloparsec scales in NGC 4696 with JWST/NIRSpec
Mathieu Marquis, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Olivia Pereira +35
We present JWST/NIRSpec IFU spectroscopy of the central pc () of NGC 4696, the BCG in the Centaurus cluster. Leveraging the (…
CAFE follow-up of TESS hot Jupiter candidates left behind: I. Five newly confirmed planets and a false positive
J. Lillo-Box, C. Cifuentes, O. Balsalobre-Ruza +56
Hot Jupiters are key targets for understanding planet formation, migration, and atmospheres. Yet, most ground-based follow-up resources for the TESS mission are focused on confirmi…
JWST reveals how black holes are fed: kiloparsec-scale multiphase filaments feed sub-kiloparsec circumnuclear disks
Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Hyunseop Choi, Minghao Guo +35
The Centaurus cluster is one of the most important archetypes of radio-mode AGN feedback, with its central galaxy, NGC 4696, launching powerful jets that inflate X-ray cavities and…
BlackHoleWeather -- Jet-regulated chaotic cold accretion across the meso scale: Variability and kinematics
Vieri Cammelli, Massimo Gaspari, Filippo Barbani +10
Chaotic cold accretion (CCA) predicts that supermassive black holes are fed by multiphase clouds condensing from turbulent hot atmospheres. In jet-regulated systems cold gas must a…
BlackHoleWeather -- Jet-regulated chaotic cold accretion across the meso scale: Morphology and thermodynamics
Vieri Cammelli, Massimo Gaspari, Olmo Piana +11
How mechanical AGN feedback couples to multiphase condensation across scales remains a problem in galaxy groups and clusters. It is unclear how jets reshape the chaotic cold accret…
A Kiloparsec-Scale Stellar Cavity in the Center of Abell402-BCG May be Caused by Dynamic Interactions with an Ultramassive Black Hole
Michael McDonald, Gourav Khullar, David Lagattuta +18
We present new observations from JWST NIRCam that reveal a striking kpc-wide cavity in the stellar distribution of the central galaxy in the cluster Abell402. Supporting data from…
