Astro2020 Science White Paper: Black Holes Across Cosmic Time

Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | First 5 Authors: Kayhan Gültekin, Aaron Barth, Karl Gebhardt, Jenny Greene, Luis Ho | Summary: Supermassive black holes are located at the center of most, if not all, massive galaxies. They follow close correlations with global properties of their host galaxies (scaling relations), and are thought to play a crucial […]

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 […]
