Outflowing shocked gas dominates the NIR H emission from the dual AGN NGC6240
J. Carlsen, C. Cicone, B. Hagedorn +10
[Abridged] We present a multi-line study of the kinematics of the molecular and ionised gas phases in the central 2 kpc of NGC6240, based on JWST/NIRSpec and ALMA observations. We…
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…
The Pandora project. II: how non-thermal physics drives bursty star formation and temperate mass-loaded outflows in dwarf galaxies
Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Debora Sijacki, Martin G. Haehnelt +11
Dwarf galaxies provide powerful laboratories for studying galaxy formation physics. Their early assembly, shallow gravitational potentials, and bursty, clustered star formation his…
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…
Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS) X: Molecular gas clumpiness under the influence of AGN
Federico Esposito, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Santiago GarcÃa-Burillo +27
The distribution of molecular gas on small scales regulates star formation and the growth of supermassive black holes in galaxy centers, yet the role of active galactic nuclei (AGN…
JWST interferometric imaging reveals the dusty disk obscuring the supermassive black hole of the Circinus galaxy
Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Joel Sanchez-Bermudez, Omaira Gonzalez-Martin +6
The dusty and molecular torus is one of the most elusive structures surrounding supermassive black holes, yet its importance is unequivocal for understanding feedback and accretion…
