Rejuvenation triggers nuclear activity in nearby galaxies
Ignacio Martin-Navarro, Francesco Shankar, Mar Mezcua
Feedback, in particular from active galactic nuclei (AGN), is believed to play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies. In the local Universe, many galaxies with an AGN are ind…
Black holes
M. Mezcua
Black holes are defined as a region in spacetime where gravity is so strong that particles and electromagnetic radiation cannot escape. According to their mass, they are classified…
Radio Power from Direct-Collapse Black Holes
Daniel J. Whalen, Mar Mezcua, Samuel J. Patrick +2
Direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) forming at 20 are currently the leading candidates for the seeds of the first quasars, over 200 of which have now been found at 6…
A search for active galactic nuclei in low-mass compact galaxies
Anna Ferre-Mateu, Mar Mezcua, Robert Scott Barrows
Low-mass compact galaxies (ultracompact dwarfs [UCDs] and compact ellipticals [cEs]) populate the stellar size-mass plane between globular clusters and early-type galaxies. Known t…
The Active Fraction of Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
Fabio Pacucci, Mar Mezcua, John A. Regan
The population of massive black holes (MBHs) in dwarf galaxies is elusive, but fundamentally important to understand the coevolution of black holes with their hosts and the formati…
Dust in the central parsecs of unobscured AGN: more challenges to the torus
Almudena Prieto, Jakub Nadolny, Juan A. Fernández-Ontiveros +1
A parsec-scale dusty torus is thought to be the cause of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) dichotomy in the 1/2 types, narrow/broad emission lines. In a previous work, on the basis of p…
