A multi-scale view of molecular gas and magnetic fields in the Antennae galaxies
Akhil Lasrado, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Claudia Cicone +5
Major mergers are transformative events in galaxy evolution, dynamically reshaping the stellar and gas makeup of the hosts, as well as the galaxy-scale magnetic fields (B-fields) t…
LoTSS of dual AGN: enhanced detectability and prospects for a systematic search
Q. D'Amato, F. Mannucci, E. De Rubeis +25
Context: Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) - systems of two accreting supermassive black holes at kpc-scale separations - trace galaxy mergers and are the progenitors of gravitati…
A new era for Dual AGN science with SHARP
P. Severgnini, C. Vignali, A. De Rosa +21
The search for and the characterization of ultra-compact dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the hottest topics of current extragalactic astrophysics. These systems involve…
Higher resolution optical spectra of galaxies reveal outflow signatures unresolved by the SDSS
B. Hagedorn, C. Cicone, C. Vignali +5
Galactic outflows are predicted to be ubiquitous in low-mass galaxies, but observational evidence is lacking. Both a low signal-to-noise and a low spectral resolution can severely…
Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing
Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40
The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…
Massive dusty multiphase outflow in local merger shows no sign of slowing on kiloparsec scales
B. Hagedorn, C. Cicone, M. Sarzi +2
We use ALMA CO(1-0) observations and VLT/MUSE rest-frame optical data of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) IRAS20100-4156 at to characterize its powerful outflow…
Constraining Nuclear Molecular Gas Content with High-resolution CO Imaging of GOALS Galaxies
James Agostino, Anne M. Medling, Loreto Barcos-Muñoz +11
We present measurements of the cool molecular gas mass around the nuclei of two gas-rich mergers, III Zw 035 and IRAS F01364-1042, whose enclosed masses (M) within t…
Milliarcsecond-resolution Radio-imaging Survey of Blazar Candidates at 4 < z < 5.4

We present a milliarcsecond-resolution radio survey of 17 high-redshift (4 < z < 5.4) blazar candidates observed with the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Network…
Fast, dust-poor outflows in the local candidate dual AGN MCG-03-34-64 observed with VLT/ERIS
I. Lamperti, F. Mannucci, E. Bertola +28
We present VLT/ERIS IFU J-band observations of MCG-03-34-64, a nearby (z = 0.0167) Seyfert galaxy hosting a candidate dual AGN system with a separation of ~100 pc between the nucle…
Surveying Galaxy Clusters (in formation) in the Distant Universe
J. M. Pérez-Martínez, H. Dannerbauer, E. van Kampen +8
Present-day galaxy clusters are the largest virialized structures in the Universe, yet their early assembly remains poorly understood. At z2, clusters in formation span tens of…
Cosmic Duets I. High-spatial resolution spectroscopy of dual and lensed AGN with MUSE-NFM
M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +34
We present the first-year results of the MUSE Large Program "Cosmic Duets", whose goal is to obtain adaptive-optics assisted MUSE observations with an angular resolution of 0.1"-0.…
Connecting outflows with radio emission in active galactic nuclei at cosmic noon
Gabriele S. Ilha, C. M. Harrison, V. Mainieri +17
AGN feedback is a well known mechanism in the evolution of galaxies. One open question is the driving mechanism of galaxy-scale outflows. At low redshift, radio jets often interact…
