Dust beyond the torus: Revealing the mid-infrared heart of local Seyfert ESO 428-G14 with JWST/MIRI

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Ismael García-Bernete | Summary: Polar dust has been discovered in a number of local Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), with radiation-driven torus models predicting a wind to be its main driver. However, little is known about its characteristics, spatial […]
