High-spectral-resolution Observations of the [S II] Emission-line Doublet in the Filamentary Nebula Surrounding NGC 1275
Benjamin Vigneron, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Carter Lee Rhea +10
We analyze new high-spectral resolution SITELLE observations (R = = 7000) of the filamentary nebula surrounding NGC 1275, central galaxy of the Perseus cluster. We present h…
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 (…
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…
XMAGNET -- Stir before serving: a Lagrangian perspective on mixing-driven condensation in the intracluster medium
M. Fournier, P. Grete, M. Brüggen +4
We aim to characterize the thermodynamic and dynamical conditions leading to condensation in cluster cores, and to assess the role of magnetic fields. We implement a Monte-Carlo tr…
Introducing sapphire: Towards Hybrid Physics-Informed, Data-Driven Modeling of Galaxy Formation
Viraj Pandya, Greg L. Bryan, T. Lucas Makinen +18
Semi-analytic models (SAMs) have been treating galaxy populations as dynamical systems for years, but their evolution equations remain poorly constrained. We introduce…
Magnetohydrodynamic Precipitation
G. M. Voit, B. D. Wibking, D. Yaldiz
Circumgalactic gas around massive galaxies generally has a volume-filling component -- an atmosphere -- with a temperature determined by the potential-well depth of the galaxy's ha…
