JWST Observations of the Double Nucleus in NGC 4486B: Possible Evidence for a Recent Binary SMBH Merger and Recoil
Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Monica Valluri, Shashank Dattathri +19
A recent study of the compact elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B using JWST-NIRSpec IFU kinematics confirmed a supermassive black hole (SMBH) of mass (~8% of…
The Curious Case of Centaurus A II: On the Subject of the Quenched satellites
Sachi Weerasooriya, Mia Sauda Bovill, Matthew A. Taylor +6
The satellite system of Centaurus A presents a curious cosmological puzzle: while the global population is consistent with theoretical expectations, its inner regions (d<150 kpc) e…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- The star-formation history of massive early-type galaxies in the Perseus cluster
S. Martocchia, A. Boselli, J. -C. Cuillandre +157
The Euclid Early Release Observations (ERO) programme targeted the Perseus galaxy cluster in its central region over 0.7deg. We combined the exceptional image quality and depth…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XL. The Morphological Classification of Virgo Cluster Galaxies
Max M. Kurzner, Patrick Côté, Laura Ferrarese +19
We present a study of morphologies, based on deep imaging of the Virgo Cluster from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS), for 3689…
A Supermassive Black Hole in a Diminutive Ultra-compact Dwarf Galaxy Discovered with JWST/NIRSpec+IFU
Matthew A. Taylor, Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Solveig Thompson +18
The integral-field unit mode of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec+IFU) mounted on the James Webb Space Telescope has now enabled kinematic studies of smaller and less massive…
A JWST View of the Overmassive Black Hole in NGC 4486B
Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Matthew A. Taylor, Monica Valluri +19
We present a new stellar dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the compact elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B, based on integral field spectroscopy with JWST/NIRS…
