Measuring supermassive black holes with gas kinematics - II. The LINERs IC 989, NGC 5077, and NGC 6500
Giovanna De Francesco, Alessandro Capetti, Alessandro Marconi
We present results from a kinematical study of the gas in the nucleus of a sample of three LINER galaxies, obtained from archival HST/STIS long-slit spectra. We found that, while f…
Field Camera Unit for WSO-UV: Phase A Study Report
I. Pagano, F. Bacciotti, L. Bedin +33
World Space Observatory UltraViolet (WSO-UV) is a multipurpose space observatory, made by a 170 cm aperture telescope, capable of UV high-resolution spectroscopy, long slit low-res…
HST NIR Snapshot Survey of 3CR Radio Source Counterparts II: An Atlas and Inventory of the Host Galaxies, Mergers and Companions
David J. E. Floyd, David Axon, Stefi Baum +10
We present the second part of an H-band (1.6 microns) atlas of z<0.3 3CR radio galaxies, using the Hubble Space Telescope Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (HST NI…
On the nature of optical nuclei in FR I radio-galaxies from ACS/HST imaging polarimetry
Alessandro Capetti, David J. Axon, Marco Chiaberge +4
We obtained optical imaging polarimetry with the ACS/HRC aboard the HST of the 9 closest radio-galaxies in the 3C catalogue with an FR I morphology. The nuclear sources seen in dir…
Isophotal Structure and Dust Distribution in Radio-Loud Elliptical Galaxies
Grant R. Tremblay, Marco Chiaberge, Carlos J. Donzelli +4
We investigate isophotal properties and dust morphology in the nuclear regions of 84 radio galaxies, imaged in the optical and near-infrared as part of Hubble Space Telescope snaps…
The host galaxy/AGN connection. Brightness profiles of early-type galaxies hosting Seyfert nuclei
Alessandro Capetti, Barbara Balmaverde
[ABRIDGED] We recently presented evidence of a connection between the brightness profiles of nearby early-type galaxies and the properties of the AGN they host. The radio loudness…
