XRISM Resolves the Circum-nuclear Environment of NGC 4945
Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Yoshihiro Ueda +31
Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) represent one of the most elusive phases of massive black hole growth, yet are expected to contribute substantially to the Cosmic X-ray B…
The dependence of triggering mechanisms on radio AGN sub-types: the role of galaxy mergers
Freya Barwell, Clive N. Tadhunter, Jonathon C. S. Pierce +10
Powerful, radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are associated with one of the most important forms of AGN feedback, and understanding how they are triggered is key to properly i…
Electron densities from [S II] lines significantly overestimate the impact of ionised AGN outflows
Luke R. Holden, Daniel J. B. Smith, Marina I. Arnaudova +6
To explain the properties of the local galaxy population, theoretical models require active galactic nuclei (AGN) to inject energy into host galaxies, thereby expelling outflows of…
Impact of AGN and nuclear star formation on the ISM turbulence of galaxies: Insights from JWST/MIRI spectroscopy
Rogemar A. Riffel, Luis Colina, José Henrique Costa-Souza +31
Active galactic nuclei (AGN), star formation (SF), and galaxy interactions can drive turbulence in the gas of the ISM, which in turn plays a role in the SF within galaxies. The imp…
Characterizing the roles of transitory obscured phases and inner torus in shaping the fractions of obscured AGN at cosmic noon
Alba V. Alonso-Tetilla, Francesco Shankar, Fabio Fontanot +11
The origin of obscuration in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is still a matter of contention. It is unclear whether obscured AGN are primarily due to line-of-sight effects, a transito…
Kinematic misalignment as a driver of black hole activity in galaxies with external interactions
Sandra I. Raimundo, Rogerio Riffel, Song-lin Li +6
The process of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) fuelling relies on the transport of gas across several orders of magnitude in physical scale until the gas reaches the supermassive blac…
