Impact of AGN and nuclear star formation on the ISM turbulence of galaxies: Insights from JWST/MIRI spectroscopy
Rogemar A. Riffel, Luis Colina, José Henrique Costa-Souza +31
Active galactic nuclei (AGN), star formation (SF), and galaxy interactions can drive turbulence in the gas of the ISM, which in turn plays a role in the SF within galaxies. The imp…
Shocked, Heated, and Now Resolved: H excitation in the low-luminosity AGN at M58 core with JWST
I. E. López, E. Bertola, V. Reynaldi +11
We present JWST NIRSpec and MIRI MRS observations of the central kiloparsec of M58 (NGC 4579), a nearby LINER galaxy hosting a low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN; $L_\mathrm{bol} \sim 10^{4…
Theoretical Diagnostics for the Physical Conditions in Active Galactic Nuclei under the View of JWST
Lulu Zhang, Ric I. Davies, Chris Packham +20
With excellent spectral and angular resolutions and, especially, sensitivity, the JWST allows us to observe infrared emission lines that were previously inaccessible or barely acce…
GATOS. VIII. On the physical origin of the extended MIR emission in AGN
Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Cristina Ramos Almeida, Miguel Pereira-Santaella +31
The polar mid-infrared (MIR) emission detected within 10-100s pcs in some active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been associated with dusty winds driven away by radiation pressure. The p…
High resolution ALMA observations of HS in LIRGS (Dense gas and shocks in outflows and CNDs)
M. T. Sato, S. Aalto, S. König +14
Molecular gas plays a critical role in regulating star formation and nuclear activity in galaxies. Sulphur bearing molecules, such as H2S, are sensitive to the physical and chemica…
MICONIC: JWST/MIRI MRS reveals a fast ionized gas outflow in the central region of Centaurus A
A. Alonso-Herrero, L. Hermosa Muñoz, A. Labiano +20
We present a kinematical study of the ionized and molecular gas in the central region (~7-14"~100-200pc) of the nearby radio galaxy Cen A. We used JWST/MIRI MRS 5-28m observatio…
