Combining Direct Black Hole Mass Measurements and Spatially Resolved Stellar Kinematics to Calibrate the - Relation of Active Galaxies

Nico Winkel, Vardha N. Bennert, Raymond P. Remigio +8

The origin of the tight scaling relation between the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBHs; ) and their host-galaxy properties remains unclear. Active galactic nuclei…

Measuring the ISM Content of Nearby, Luminous, Type 1 and Type 2 QSOs through CO and [C II]

Yuanze Luo, A. O. Petric, R. M. J. Janssen +18

We present observations of CO(1--0) and CO(2--1) lines from the Institut de radioastronomie millimétrique (IRAM) 30m telescope toward 20 nearby, optically luminous type 2 quasars (…

Revisiting dual AGN candidates with spatially resolved LBT spectroscopy -- The impact of spillover light contamination

B. Husemann, J. Heidt, A. De Rosa +5

The merging of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is a direct consequence of our hierarchical picture of galaxy evolution. It is difficult to track the merging process of SMBHs durin…

The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS). Discovery of a global [CII] 158 m line excess in AGN HE1353-1917

I. Smirnova-Pinchukova, B. Husemann, G. Busch +15

The [CII]158m line is one of the strongest far-infrared (FIR) lines and an important coolant in the interstellar medium of galaxies that is accessible out to high redshifts. The…

The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS): SOFIA detects spatially-resolved [CII] emission in the luminous AGN HE0433-1028

G. Busch, B. Husemann, I. Smirnova-Pinchukova +18

We report spatially-resolved [CII] m observations of HE 0433-1028, which is the first detection of a nearby luminous AGN (redshift 0.0355) with FIFI-LS onboard the airborn…

History and destiny of an emerging early-type galaxy: New IFU insights on the major-merger remnant NGC7252

John R. Weaver, Bernd Husemann, Harald Kuntschner +7

NGC7252, which is one of the nearest major-merger galaxy remnants, is an ideal laboratory to study the processes inherent to the transformation of disc galaxies to ellipticals as o…

Discovery of a dual AGN at z~3.3 with 20kpc separation

B. Husemann, G. Worseck, F. Arrigoni Battaia +1

A prediction of the current paradigm of the hierarchical assembly of galaxies is the presence of supermassive dual black holes at separations of a few kpc or less. In this context,…

Spatially-resolved spectroscopy of narrow-line Seyfert 1 host galaxies

J. Scharwächter, B. Husemann, G. Busch +2

We present optical integral field spectroscopy for five narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) host galaxies, probing their host galaxies at kpc scales. Emi…

The globular cluster system of NGC 1316 IV. Nature of the star cluster complex SH2

T. Richtler, B. Husemann, M. Hilker +3

The light of the merger remnant NGC 1316 is dominated by old and intermediate-age stars. The only sign of current star formation in this big galaxy is the HII region SH2, an isolat…

The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS) - Mrk 1018 returns to the shadows after 30 years as a Seyfert 1

R. E. McElroy, B. Husemann, S. M. Croom +10

We report the discovery that the known `changing look' AGN Mrk 1018 has changed spectral type for a second time. New VLT-MUSE data taken in 2015 as part of the Close AGN Reference…

Integral field spectroscopy of nearby QSOs: I. ENLR size-luminosity relation, ongoing star formation & resolved gas-phase metallicities

B. Husemann, K. Jahnke, S. F. Sánchez +4

[abridged] We present optical integral field spectroscopy for a flux-limited sample of 19 QSOs at z<0.2 and spatially resolve their ionized gas properties at a physical resolution…
