AGN Fueling and Radio Jet Evolution in the Galaxy Group NGC 5044 revealed by VLBA HI Absorption and Proper-Motion Radio Observations
Francesco Ubertosi, Ewan O'Sullivan, Gerrit Schellenberger +8
The role of cooling gas in triggering active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback in the centers of galaxy groups and clusters remains a key open question. NGC 5044, the X-ray brightest…
A MeerKAT view of the Neutral Atomic Gas in Stephan's Quintet
K. Rajpurohit, E. O'Sullivan, G. Schellenberger +7
We present new MeerKAT 21cm spectral line observations of the neutral hydrogen gas in the compact galaxy group Stephan's Quintet (HCG 92). These data provide a significantly improv…
Multiphase gas offsets in the atmospheres of central galaxies and their consequences for SMBH activation I. The hot and warm ionized gas phases
Francesco Ubertosi, Fabrizio Brighenti, Ewan O'Sullivan +10
We investigate the spatial relationships between multi-phase gas components and supermassive black hole (SMBH) activity in a sample of 25 cool core galaxy groups and clusters. Usin…
Revisiting the Group-Dominant Elliptical NGC 5044 in the Radio Band: Continuum Emission and Detection of HI Absorption
Kamlesh Rajpurohit, Tirna Deb, Konstantinos Kolokythas +9
We present new MeerKAT L-band (continuum and HI) and upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (300-850 MHz) observations of the archetypal cool-core group-dominant early-type galax…
HCG 57: Evidence for shock-heated intergalactic gas from X-rays and optical emission line spectroscopy
Ewan O'Sullivan, P. N. Appleton, B. A. Joshi +5
We present Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations of the compact group HCG 57, and optical integral field spectroscopy of the interacting galaxy pair HCG 57A/D. These two spiral…
