First detection of the 448 GHz H2O transition in space
(2017) [Journal article]We present the first detection of the ortho-H2O 423330 transition at 448 GHz in space. We observed this transition in the local (z = 0:010) luminous infrared (IR) galaxy ESO 320-G030 (IRAS F11506-3851) using the Atacama ... -
Gas inflows towards the nucleus of NGC 1358
(2017) [Journal article]We use optical spectra from the inner 1.8×2.5 kpc2 of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1358, obtained with the GMOS integral field spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope at a spatial resolution of ≈165 pc, to assess the feeding ... -
Gas inflows towards the nucleus of the active galaxy NGC 7213
(2014) [Journal article]We present two-dimensional stellar and gaseous kinematics of the inner 0.8 × 1.1 kpc² of the LINER/Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7213, from optical spectra obtained with the Gemini Multi- Object Spectrograph integral field spectrograph ... -
Gas inflows towards the nucleus of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1667
(2017) [Journal article]We use optical spectra from the inner 2 × 3 kpc2 of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1667, obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph integral field spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope at a spatial resolution of ... -
Gas properties of H II and starburst galaxies : relation with the stellar population
(2000) [Journal article]We study the gas emission of galaxies with active star formation, consisting mostly of H II and starburst galaxies, as well as some Seyfert 2 galaxies, and determine chemical and physical parameters. The data consist of ... -
Gas rotation, shocks and outflow within the inner 3 kpc of the radio galaxy 3C 33
(2017) [Journal article]We present optical integral field spectroscopy – obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph – of the inner 4.0 × 5.8 kpc2 of the narrow line radio galaxy 3C 33 at a spatial resolution of 0.58 kpc. The gas emission ... -
Gas streaming motions towards the nucleus of M81
(2011) [Journal article]We present two-dimensional stellar and gaseous kinematics of the inner 120×250 pc2 of the LINER/Seyfert 1 galaxy M81, from optical spectra obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) integral field spectrograph ... -
Gemini/GMOS IFU gas velocity 'tomography' of the narrow line region of nearby active galaxies
(2009) [Journal article]We present two-dimensional (2D) mapping of the gas velocity field of the inner few hundred parsecs of six nearby active galaxies, using spectra obtained with the integral field unit of the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph ... -
Gemini/GMOS integral field unit stellar kinematics of the nuclear region of six nearby active galaxies
(2006) [Journal article]We present 2D mapping of the stellar velocity field within the inner 5 arcsec of six nearby active galaxies, using spectra obtained with the Integral Field Unit (IFU) of the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph instrument at ... -
Gemini NIFS survey of feeding and feedback in nearby active galaxies III. Ionized versus warm molecular gas masses and distributions
(2019) [Journal article]We have used the Gemini Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph in the J and K bands to map the distribution, excitation, and kinematics of the ionized H ii and warm molecular gas H2, in the inner few 100 pc of six nearby ... -
Gemini NIFS survey of feeding and feedback in nearby active galaxies : IV. Excitation
(2021) [Journal article]The near-infrared spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) present emission lines of different atomic and molecular species. The mechanisms involved in the origin of these emission lines in AGN are still not fully understood. ... -
Gemini NIFS survey of feeding and feedback processes in nearby active galaxies : II. The sample and surface mass density profilesthe hidden monster and its outflow
(2018) [Journal article]We present and characterize a sample of 20 nearby Seyfert galaxies selected for having BAT 14–195 keV luminosities LX ≥ 1041.5 erg s−1, redshift z ≤ 0.015, being accessible for observations with the Gemini Near-Infrared ... -
Hidden trigger for the giant starburst arc in M83?
(2006) [Journal article]The huge star formation events that occur at some galactic centers do not provide enough clues as to their origin, since the morphological signatures of the triggering mechanism are smeared out in the timescale of a few ... -
Host galaxy properties of changing-look AGNs revealed in the MaNGA survey
(2020) [Journal article]Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) are a subset of AGNs in which the broad Balmer emission lines appear or disappear within a few years. We use the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) ... -
Imaging of mgb starbursts - II. The nature of the sample
(1995) [Journal article]In this paper, broad-band imaging in BVRI is used in parallel with information from long-slit spectroscopy and IRAS data to study star formation processes in a sample of 15 MBG (Montreal blue galaxy) starbursts, in order ... -
Infrared emission in Seyfert 2 galaxies : reprocessed radiation from a dusty torus?
(1992) [Journal article]The nature of the infrared continuum in Seyfert 2 galaxies is not well understood. An attractive model is one in which dust grains near the nucleus are heated by optical and ultraviolet photons from a central source and ... -
Insights on the dusty torus and neutral torus from optical and X-ray obscuration in a complete volume limited hard X-ray AGN sample
(2015) [Journal article]We describe a complete volume limited sample of nearby active galaxies selected by their 14–195 keV luminosity, and outline its rationale for studying the mechanisms regulating gas inflow and outflow. We also describe a ... -
