JWST/NIRSpec Reveals Diverse Nuclear Environments in Dwarf Galaxies Hosting AGN

Thomas Bohn, Archana Aravindan, Gabriela Canalizo +18

Dwarf galaxies, in the CDM framework, are expected to dominate the galaxy number density at all redshifts. As such, studying AGN in these systems, including characterizing their…

JWST Reveals Compact Nuclear Starbursts Masquerading as AGNs in Metal-Poor Dwarfs: Where Are the Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?

William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Jeffrey D. Mckaig +19

We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission,…

The Multi-phase Biconical Outflow in the local IR-Luminous Merger IRASF01364-1042

Y. Song, V. U, J. Kader +37

We investigate the spatially-resolved ISM properties of the local (), IR-luminous (\,L), late-stage galaxy merger IRAS F01364-1042, comb…

GOALS-JWST: Resolved multi-phase molecular gas in IRAS 20551-4250 using JWST and ALMA

D. Kakkad, Y. Song, T. S. -Y. Lai +24

Studying the content and distribution of molecular gas provides key insights into how feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and star formation influences galaxy evolution, sin…

Dense Ionized Outflow with Five Narrow Components in a Dust-obscured Galaxy

Taketo Yoshida, Tohru Nagao, Yoshiki Toba +4

We present our discovery of a complex ionized outflow in SDSS J101034.28+372514.7 (J1010+3725), a dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) at . The SDSS optical spectrum of J1010+3725 s…

Probing AGN Feedback in Dwarf Galaxies with Spatially Resolved NIR Coronal Lines from JWST

Archana Aravindan, Thomas Bohn, Gabriela Canalizo +20

We present the first spatially resolved investigation of near-infrared coronal lines in dwarf galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN), using JWST/NIRSpec integral field spect…

A High Resolution Search for Dual AGN Candidates in Mergers: A Pre-Selection Strategy using Keck AO

Camilo Vazquez, S. Satyapal, G. Canalizo +20

Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy mergers with separations 1 kpc are crucial to our understanding of SMBH growth, galaxy evolution, and SMBH binary evolution…

Local Analogs of Primordial Galaxies: In Search of Intermediate Mass Black Holes with JWST NIRSpec

Sara Doan, Shobita Satyapal, William Matzko +15

Local low metallicity galaxies with signatures of possible accretion activity are ideal laboratories in which to search for the lowest mass black holes and study their impact on th…

A closer look at dwarf galaxies exhibiting MIR variability: AGN confirmation and comparison with non-variable dwarf galaxies

Archana Aravindan, Gabriela Canalizo, Nathan Secrest +2

Detecting active black holes in dwarf galaxies has proven to be a challenge due to their small size and weak electromagnetic signatures. Mid-infrared variability has emerged as a p…

Fast Outflows and Luminous He II Emission in Dwarf Galaxies with AGN

Weizhe Liu, Sylvain Veilleux, Gabriela Canalizo +6

While stellar processes are believed to be the main source of feedback in dwarf galaxies, the accumulating discoveries of AGN in dwarf galaxies over recent years arouse the interes…
