Tracing Interstellar Gas in Quiescent Galaxies Using Na I D and Ca II H&K Absorption

Arian Moghni, Timothy M. Heckman, Namrata Roy +3

For over two decades, Na I D ( Å) absorption has been the primary optical tracer of cool, neutral gas in galaxies. In contrast, Ca II H&K (3934.78, 39…

Lighting Up the CGM: Strong, Jet-Aligned Emission around Radio Galaxies

Namrata Roy, Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Timothy Heckman +1

A primary question within galaxy evolution is how active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback modifies the circumgalactic medium (CGM). We present a search for faint H emission from t…

Tracing Radio AGN-Driven Quenching in Post-Starburst Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

Pallavi Patil, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +14

We present a radio continuum study of photometrically selected cosmic noon (0.5<z<3) post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) in the UKIDSS Deep Survey (UDS) field to assess if radio-mode Ac…

Galactic Rain: Cool Gas Inflows in Red Geyser Galaxies and Their Connection to AGN Activity and Interactions

Arian Moghni, Namrata Roy, Timothy M. Heckman +3

Red geysers are a population of massive (log[M/M]~10.5), quiescent galaxies that exhibit large-scale but weak, bi-symmetric ionized gas outflows, interpreted as signatures…

A Multiwavelength Evaluation of AGN in the Post-Starburst Phase

Yuanze Luo, Kate Rowlands, Katherine Alatalo +14

The quenching of star formation is a crucial phase in galaxy evolution. Although active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback has been proposed as a key driver of this transition, the lac…

Clumpy, dense gas in the outflow of NGC 1266

Justin Atsushi Otter, Katherine Alatalo, Kate Rowlands +23

Outflows are one of the most spectacular mechanisms through which active galactic nuclei (AGN) impact their host galaxy, though the role of AGN-driven outflows in global star forma…

Mapping Jet-Gas Coupling and energetic ionized outflows in High-Redshift Radio Galaxies with JWST/NIRSpec

Namrata Roy, Timothy Heckman, Alaina Henry

We present spatially resolved maps of morphology, kinematics, and energetics of warm ionized gas in six powerful radio galaxies at z=3.5-4, using JWST/NIRSpec IFU to quantify jet-d…

Deciphering The Launching of Multi-phase AGN-driven Outflows and Their (Spatially Resolved) Multi-scale Impact

Lulu Zhang, Gagandeep Kaur, Tianmu Gao +10

Beyond deepening our understanding of the formation, growth, and evolution of supermassive black holes, it is crucial to uncover the role of feeding and feedback processes from gro…

Mergers, Radio Jets, and Quenching Star-Formation in Massive Galaxies: Quantifying their Synchronized Cosmic Evolution & Assessing the Energetics

Timothy Heckman, Namrata Roy, Philip Best +1

The existence of a population of massive quiescent galaxies with little to no star-formation poses a challenge to our understanding of galaxy evolution. The physical process that q…

Lyman Continuum leakage from massive leaky starbursts: A different class of emitters?

Namrata Roy, Timothy Heckman, Alaina Henry +11

The origin of Lyman Continuum (LyC) photons responsible for reionizing the universe remains a mystery, with the fraction of escaping LyC photons from galaxies at z 6 to 12 be…

Shining a Light on the Connections between Galactic Outflows Seen in Absorption and Emission Lines

Xinfeng Xu, Alaina Henry, Timothy Heckman +14

Galactic outflows provide important feedback effects to regulate the evolution of host galaxies. Two primary diagnostics of outflows are broad and/or blueshifted emission and absor…
