The GECKOS Survey: Resolved, multiphase observations of mass-loading and gas density in the galactic wind of NGC 4666
Barbara Mazzilli Ciraulo, D. B. Fisher, R. Elliott +24
We present a multiphase, resolved study of the galactic wind extending from the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 4666. For this we use VLT/MUSE observations from the GECKOS program and…
The GECKOS Survey: Identifying kinematic sub-structures in edge-on galaxies
A. Fraser-McKelvie, J. van de Sande, D. A. Gadotti +30
The vertical evolution of galactic discs is governed by the sub-structures within them. We examine the diversity of kinematic sub-structure present in the first 12 galaxies observe…
HI within and around observed and simulated galaxy discs -- Comparing MeerKAT observations with mock data from TNG50 and FIRE-2
A. Marasco, W. J. G. de Blok, F. M. Maccagni +12
Atomic hydrogen (HI) is an ideal tracer of gas flows in and around galaxies, and it is uniquely observable in the nearby Universe. Here we make use of wide-field (~1 square degree)…
Uncovering Extraplanar Gas in UGCA 250 with the Ultra-deep MHONGOOSE Survey
Sushma Kurapati, D. J. Pisano, W. J. G. de Blok +28
We use the neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) observations of the edge-on galaxy UGCA 250, taken as part of the MeerKAT HI Observations of Nearby Galactic Objects - Observing Southern Em…
NGC 3259: A Signal for an Untapped Population of Slowly Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
Kirill A. Grishin, Igor V. Chilingarian, Francoise Combes +4
Low-mass active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can provide important constraints on the formation and evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), a central challenge in modern cosmology…
Searching for HI around MHONGOOSE Galaxies via Spectral Stacking
S. Veronese, W. J. G. de Blok, J. Healy +19
The observed star formation rates of galaxies in the Local Universe suggests that they are replenishing their gas reservoir across cosmic time. Cosmological simulations predict tha…
