GA-NIFS: Multi-phase analysis of a star-forming galaxy at

Eleonora Parlanti, Stefano Carniani, Giacomo Venturi +16

In this study, we present a detailed multiphase analysis of HZ4, a main-sequence star-forming galaxy at z ~ 5.5, known for being a turbulent rotating disk and having a detection of…

JWST/NIRSpec insights into the circumnuclear region of Arp 220: A detailed kinematic study

L. Ulivi, M. Perna, I. Lamperti +13

The study of starburst and active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback is crucial for understanding the regulation of star formation and the evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. Arp…

GA-NIFS: JWST/NIRSpec IFS view of the z~3.5 galaxy GS5001 and its close environment at the core of a large-scale overdensity

Isabella Lamperti, Santiago Arribas, Michele Perna +19

We present JWST NIRSpec observations in IFS mode of the galaxy GS5001 at redshift z=3.47, the central member of a candidate protocluster in the GOODS-S field. The data cover a fiel…

Accelerated quenching and chemical enhancement of massive galaxies in a gas-rich halo

Pablo G. Pérez-González, Francesco D`Eugenio, Bruno Rodríguez del Pino +18

Stars in galaxies form when baryons radiatively cool down and fall into gravitational wells whose mass is dominated by dark matter. Eventually, star formation quenches as gas is de…

No evidence of AGN features in the nuclei of Arp 220 from JWST/NIRSpec IFS

Michele Perna, Santiago Arribas, Isabella Lamperti +12

Arp 220 is the nearest ULIRG; it shows evidence of 100 pc-scale molecular outflows likely connected with galaxy-scale outflows traced by ionised and neutral gas. The two highly obs…

GA-NIFS: NIRSpec reveals evidence for non-circular motions and AGN feedback in GN20

Hannah Übler, Francesco D'Eugenio, Michele Perna +15

We present rest-frame optical data of the z~4 sub-millimeter galaxy GN20 obtained with JWST/NIRSpec in integral field spectroscopy (IFS) mode. The H emission is asymmetric and c…
