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 $618\times 618$ pc${}^2$ ($\sim 3^{\prime \prime }\times 3^{\prime \prime }$) of NGC 4696, the BCG in the Centaurus cluster. Leveraging the $\sim 0.1^{\prime \prime }$ ($20.6$…
