The Millimeter/X-ray Relation in Rapidly Accreting Supermassive Black Holes at
Sophie M. Venselaar, Claudio Ricci, Santiago Del Palacio +12
A tight correlation between nuclear millimeter and X-ray emission has recently been found in nearby () and low-Eddington ratio () radio-quiet Active G…
WISDOM Project - XXVII. Giant molecular clouds of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1387: similarities with spiral galaxy clouds
Fu-Heng Liang, Martin Bureau, Lijie Liu +10
Molecular gas is crucial to understanding star formation and galaxy evolution, but the giant molecular clouds (GMCs) of early-type galaxies (ETGs) have rarely been studied. Here, w…
WISDOM project -- XVIII. Molecular gas distributions and kinematics of three megamaser galaxies
Fu-Heng Liang, Mark D. Smith, Martin Bureau +11
The co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBHs) underpins our understanding of galaxy evolution, but different methods to measure SMBH masses have only infrequent…
Stellar-mass black holes on the millimetre fundamental plane of black hole accretion
Jacob S. Elford, Ilaria Ruffa, Timothy A. Davis +5
Recent work revealed the existence of a galaxy "millimetre fundamental plane of black hole accretion", a tight correlation between nuclear mm luminosity, intrinsic - keV…
Gravitational Torques from a Lopsided Young Stellar Component Sustain High Black Hole Accretion Rates in NGC 4593
Nico Winkel, Knud Jahnke, Juan Antonio Fernández-Ontiveros +8
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow primarily through gas accretion, observed as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). While mergers can drive luminous AGN episodes, secular processes m…
WISDOM Project -- XXV. Improving the CO-dynamical supermassive black hole mass measurement in the galaxy NGC 1574 using high spatial resolution ALMA observations
Hengyue Zhang, Martin Bureau, Ilaria Ruffa +5
We present a molecular gas dynamical supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass measurement in the nearby barred lenticular galaxy NGC 1574, using Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter…
