A close look at the dwarf AGN of NGC 4395: optical and near-IR integral field spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | First 5 Authors: Carine Brum, Marlon R. Diniz, Rogemar A. Riffel, Alberto Rodriguez-Ardila, Luis Ho | Summary: Intermediate mass black holes (10$^3$-10$^5$ M$_odot$) in the center of dwarf galaxies are believed to be analogous to growing Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the early Universe. Their characterization can provide insight about […]

Mapping the Inner Structure of Quasars with Time-Domain Spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | First 5 Authors: Yue Shen, Scott Anderson, Edo Berger, W. N. Brandt, Gisella De Rosa | Summary: The ubiquitous variability of quasars across a wide range of wavelengths and timescales encodes critical information about the structure and dynamics of the circumnuclear emitting regions that are too small to be directly […]

The ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 with MUSE: I. Kinematics of the stellar body

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Peng | First 5 Authors: Eric Emsellem, Remco F. J. van der Burg, Jeremy Fensch, Tereza Jerabkova, Anita Zanella | Summary: The so-called ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC~1052-DF2 was announced to be a galaxy lacking dark matter based on a spectroscopic study of its constituent globular clusters. Here we present the first spectroscopic analysis […]
