Chemical abundance patterns at z=1-7: Carbon, Nitrogen, Neon, Sulphur, and Argon abundances from JWST spectroscopy

E. Cataldi, F. Belfiore, M. Curti +22

The relative abundances of chemical elements in the interstellar medium (ISM) trace the history of star formation and chemical enrichment in galaxies. We investigate the abundance…

Dual and lensed AGN at sub-arcsecond separations uncovered by ERIS

M. V. Zanchettin, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +62

We present the first results of the ongoing INAF GTO program focused on the search of sub-arcsecond dual AGN, carried out with the near-infrared integral-field unit SPIFFIER of the…

Cosmic Duets II. Growth and accretion in Gaia Multi-Peak dual AGN at Cosmic Noon

M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, D. Izquierdo-Villalba +36

We present the first statistical characterization of the physical properties of Cosmic Duets: dual AGN in the redshift range 0.5 z 3.0 with projected separations of 1…

Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts

A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101

This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…

LoTSS of dual AGN: enhanced detectability and prospects for a systematic search

Q. D'Amato, F. Mannucci, E. De Rubeis +25

Context: Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) - systems of two accreting supermassive black holes at kpc-scale separations - trace galaxy mergers and are the progenitors of gravitati…

Low-power jet-ISM coupling and disk-plane perturbations in the edge-on Seyfert galaxy NGC 4388

M. Ceci, G. Venturi, C. Marconcini +26

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) may regulate galaxy evolution through radiatively driven winds and collimated jets, but their relative impact and coupling to the interstellar medium (…

Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek

Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94

We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…

Cosmic evolution of the helium and oxygen abundances in type 2 Active Galactic Nuclei: Helium-loud AGNs

O. L. Dors, M. Armah, G. F. Hägele +14

We derive the helium and oxygen abundances in the Narrow Line Regions (NLRs) of 84 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) spanning two redshift ranges: 65 objects at and 19…

Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays: SUBWAYS IV. Tracing Radio Emission and Unveiling the Role of Winds

E. Amenta, M. Brienza, G. Bruni +30

Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are Radio Quiet, with radio emission that may arise from star-formation activity, AGN-driven winds, weak jets, and coronal activity. Disentangling…

Little Red and Blue Dots: simply stratified Broad Line Regions

J. Scholtz, F. D'Eugenio, R. Maiolino +14

It has been claimed that a fraction of the so-called Little Red Dots (LRDs) are characterised by exponential broad line profiles, which have been ascribed to broadening from electr…

High-contrast spectroscopy with the new VLT/ERIS instrument: Molecular maps and radial velocity of the gas giant AF Lep b

Jean Hayoz, Markus Johannes Bonse, Felix Dannert +66

The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph (ERIS) is the new Adaptive-Optics (AO) assisted Infrared instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Its refurbished Integral Fiel…

MAVIS: Enabling High-Precision Ground-Based Astrometry in the Visible Spectrum

Mojtaba Taheri, Jesse Cranney, Antonino Marasco +9

MAVIS (the MCAO-Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph), planned for the VLT Adaptive Optics Facility, represents an innovative step in Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) sys…
