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…

Euclid: Discovery of 31 new quasars at

D. Yang, J. F. Hennawi, F. Guarneri +211

We report the discovery of 31 new high- quasars in the redshift range . These quasars were selected from approximately 3000 deg of sky covered during the firs…

Star Formation and Accretion in Nearby Galaxies

J. Moldon, A. Alberdi, M. Perez-Torres +11

The appearance of galaxies is strongly dominated by two physical phenomena: star formation and accretion of material onto compact objects, primarily supermassive black holes. Nearb…

Euclid: Quick Data Release (Q1) -- Dual AGN in low-mass galaxies

M. Mezcua, B. Laloux, M. Scialpi +164

Dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are expected in hierarchical galaxy evolution models, in which low-mass galaxies merge to build more massive ones. While observational evidence f…

Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing

Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40

The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…

Fast, dust-poor outflows in the local candidate dual AGN MCG-03-34-64 observed with VLT/ERIS

I. Lamperti, F. Mannucci, E. Bertola +28

We present VLT/ERIS IFU J-band observations of MCG-03-34-64, a nearby (z = 0.0167) Seyfert galaxy hosting a candidate dual AGN system with a separation of ~100 pc between the nucle…

Cosmic Duets I. High-spatial resolution spectroscopy of dual and lensed AGN with MUSE-NFM

M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +34

We present the first-year results of the MUSE Large Program "Cosmic Duets", whose goal is to obtain adaptive-optics assisted MUSE observations with an angular resolution of 0.1"-0.…

Outflowing shocked gas dominates the NIR H emission from the dual AGN NGC6240

J. Carlsen, C. Cicone, B. Hagedorn +10

[Abridged] We present a multi-line study of the kinematics of the molecular and ionised gas phases in the central 2 kpc of NGC6240, based on JWST/NIRSpec and ALMA observations. We…

A possible relation between global CO excitation and massive molecular outflows in local ULIRGs

I. Montoya Arroyave, C. Cicone, P. Andreani +8

Local ULIRGs host ubiquitous molecular outflows, including the most massive and powerful ever detected. These sources have also exceptionally excited global, galaxy-integrated CO l…

Molecular gas scaling relations for local star-forming galaxies in the low- regime

B. Hagedorn, C. Cicone, M. Sarzi +7

We derived molecular gas fractions () and depletion times () for 353 galaxies representative of the…

MUSE adaptive-optics spectroscopy confirms dual active galactic nuclei and strongly lensed systems at sub-arcsec separation

M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, C. Marconcini +21

The novel Gaia Multi Peak (GMP) technique has proven to be able to successfully select dual and lensed AGN candidates at sub-arcsec separations. Both populations are important beca…

GMP-selected dual and lensed AGNs: selection function and classification based on near-IR colors and resolved spectra from VLT/ERIS, KECK/OSIRIS, and LBT/LUCI

F. Mannucci, M. Scialpi, A. Ciurlo +44

The Gaia-Multi-Peak (GMP) technique can be used to identify large numbers of dual or lensed AGN candidates at sub-arcsec separation, allowing us to study both multiple SMBHs in the…
