Beyond the dust: JWST reveals extinction and ice content in local (U)LIRGs

G. Speranza, M. Pereira-Santaella, I. García-Bernete +8

We investigate the spatially resolved extinction and ice column densities in four nearby interacting (U)LIRGs using JWST/NIRSpec integral field spectroscopy (R2700; 0.97--5.1…

Silicate emission in a type-2 quasar: JWST/MIRI constraints on torus geometry and radiative feedback

C. Ramos Almeida, A. Asensio Ramos, C. Westerdorp Plaza +13

Type-2 quasars (QSO2s) are AGN seen through a significant amount of dust and gas that obscures the central supermassive black hole and the broad line region. Despite this, recent m…

The PAH 3.4 micron feature as a tracer of shielding in the Orion Bar and NGC 6240

N. Thatte, D. Rigopoulou, F. R. Donnan +8

We have carried out a detailed analysis of the 3.4 micron spectral feature arising from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), using JWST archival data. For the first time in an e…

JWST MIRI reveals the diversity of nuclear mid-infrared spectra of nearby type-2 quasars

C. Ramos Almeida, I. Garcia-Bernete, M. Pereira-Santaella +14

Type-2 quasars (QSO2s) are active galactic nuclei (AGN) seen through a significant amount of dust and gas that obscures the central supermassive black hole and the broad line regio…
