Millimeter emission from supermassive black hole coronae

S. del Palacio, C. Yang, S. Aalto +28

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) host accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The accretion can lead to the formation of a hot, X-ray emitting corona close to the SMBH capable of a…

An Imaging and Spectroscopic Exploration of the Dusty Compact Obscured Nucleus Galaxy Zw~049.057

J. S. Gallagher, R. Kotulla, L. Laufman +9

Zw~049.057 is a moderate mass, dusty, early-type galaxy that hosts a powerful compact obscured nucleus (CON, L10~L). The resolution of HST enabled…

The fountain of the luminous infrared galaxy Zw049.057 as traced by its OH megamaser

Boy Lankhaar, Susanne Aalto, Clare Wethers +15

High resolution (0."037-0."13 [10-35 pc]) e-MERLIN ( cm) and (0."024 [6.5 pc]) ALMA ( mm) observations have been used to image OH (hydroxyl) and HCO (formald…

A spectacular galactic scale magnetohydrodynamic powered wind in ESO 320-G030

M. D. Gorski, S. Aalto, S. König +23

How galaxies regulate nuclear growth through gas accretion by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is one of the most fundamental questions in galaxy evolution. One potential way to re…

Double, double, toil, and trouble: The tails, bubbles, and knots of the local compact obscured nucleus galaxy NGC4418

C. F. Wethers, S. Aalto, G. C. Privon +20

Compact obscured nuclei (CONs) are an extremely obscured (N >10 cm) class of galaxy nuclei thought to exist in 20-40 per cent of nearby (ultra-)luminous infrar…

CON-quest II. Spatially and spectrally resolved HCN/HCO+ line ratios in local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies

Y. Nishimura, S. Aalto, M. D. Gorski +24

Nuclear regions of ultraluminous and luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) are powered by starbursts and/or active galactic nuclei (AGNs). These regions are often obscured by extrem…

Large-Scale Features of the CON Galaxy NGC4418 with MUSE

C. F. Wethers, S. Aalto, G. C. Privon +6

Compact obscured nuclei (CONs) are relatively common in the centers of local (U)LIRGs, yet their nature remains unknown. Both AGN activity and extreme nuclear starbursts have been…

5-12 pc resolution ALMA imaging of gas and dust in the obscured compact nucleus of IRAS 17578-0400

Chentao Yang, Susanne Aalto, Sabine König +7

We here present 0.02-0.04'' resolution ALMA observation of the compact obscured nucleus (CON) of IRAS17578-0400. A dusty torus within the nucleus, approximately 4 pc in radius, has…

The Opaque Heart of the Galaxy IC 860: Analogous Protostellar, Kinematics, Morphology, and Chemistry

M. D. Gorski, S. Aalto, S. König +7

Compact Obscured Nuclei (CONs) account for a significant fraction of the population of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs). These galaxy nuclei are comp…
