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…
Recoiling Black Hole Candidates from Spatially Offset Broad Emission Lines in MaNGA
R. Scott Barrows, Julia M. Comerford, James Negus +1
From the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we identify 14 off-nuclear broad (FWHM>1000 km/s) Halpha and/or Hbeta emission line sources that indica…
Molecular Gas in Major Mergers Hosting Dual and Single AGN at <10 kpc Nuclear Separations
Makoto A. Johnstone, Ezequiel Treister, Franz E. Bauer +24
We present high-resolution (50100 pc) Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of CO(2-1) or CO(1-0) emission in seven local ( 0.05)…
High-Resolution Optical IFU Spectroscopy of the Complex Galaxy Merger II Zw 096
C. Riesco, E. Treister, G. Venturi +20
Luminous and Ultra-luminous IR galaxies ((U)LIRGs) are critical for investigating feedback mechanisms due to a combination of intense star formation (SF) episodes and active galact…
GOALS-JWST: The Warm Molecular Outflows of the Merging Starburst Galaxy NGC 3256
Thomas Bohn, Hanae Inami, Aditya Togi +26
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Integral Field Spectrograph observations of NGC 3256, a local infrared-luminous late-stage merging system with two nuclei roughly 1$\;\…
