Silicate emission in a type-2 quasar: JWST/MIRI constraints on torus geometry and radiative feedback

C. Ramos Almeida, A. Asensio Ramos, C. Westerdorp Plaza +13

Type-2 quasars (QSO2s) are AGN seen through a significant amount of dust and gas that obscures the central supermassive black hole and the broad line region. Despite this, recent m…

X-ray absorption, nuclear infrared emission and dust covering factors of AGN: testing Unification Schemes

S. Mateos, F. J. Carrera, A. Alonso-Herrero +9

We present the distributions of geometrical covering factors of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) dusty tori (f2) using an X-ray selected complete sample of 227 AGN drawn from the Brig…

A deep look at the nuclear region of UGC 5101 through high angular resolution mid-IR data with GTC/CanariCam

M. Martínez-Paredes, A. Alonso-Herrero, I. Aretxaga +13

We present an analysis of the nuclear infrared (IR, 1.6 to 18 m) emission of the ultraluminous IR galaxy UGC 5101 to derive the properties of its active galactic nucleus (AGN) a…

Uncovering the deeply embedded AGN activity in the nuclear regions of the interacting galaxy Arp299

A. Alonso-Herrero, P. F. Roche, P. Esquej +14

We present mid-infrared (MIR) 8-13micron spectroscopy of the nuclear regions of the interacting galaxy Arp299 (IC694+NGC3690) obtained with CanariCam (CC) on the 10.4m Gran Telesco…

Testing the AGN Unification Model in the Infrared

Cristina Ramos Almeida, N. A. Levenson, A. Alonso-Herrero +7

We present near-to-mid-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 21 Seyfert galaxies, using subarcsecond resolution imaging data. Our aim is to compare the properties Seyfe…

Resolving the nuclear dust distribution of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3081

C. Ramos Almeida, M. Sanchez-Portal, A. M. Perez-Garcia +13

We report far-infrared (FIR) imaging of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3081 in the range 70-500 micron, obtained with an unprecedented angular resolution, using the Herschel Space Observ…
