Ionized outflows in local luminous AGN : what are the real densities and outflow rates?
(2020) [Journal article]We report on the determination of electron densities, and their impact on the outflow masses and rates, measured in the central few hundred parsecs of 11 local luminous active galaxies. We show that the peak of the integrated ... -
Is J 133658.3-295105 a radio source at z ≥= 1.0 or at the distance of M 83?
(2008) [Journal article]We present Gemini optical imaging and spectroscopy of the radio source J 133658.3–295105. This source has been suggested to be the core of an FR II radio source with two detected lobes. J 133658.3–295105 and its lobes are ... -
Kinematics and modeling of the inner region of M 83?
(2009) [Journal article]Two-dimensional kinematics of the central region of M 83 (NGC 5236) were obtained through three-dimensional NIR spectroscopy with the Gemini South telescope. The spatial region covered by the integral field unit (∼ 5 ×13 ... -
Modelling the [Fe II] λ1.644 μm outflow and comparison with H2 and H+ kinematics in the inner 200 pc of NGC 1068
(2014) [Journal article]We map the kinematics of the inner (200 pc) narrow-line region (NLR) of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 using the instrument Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrograph and adaptive optics at the Gemini North telescope. Channel ... -
Molecular hydrogen and [Fe II] in active galactic nuclei
(2004) [Journal article]Near-infrared spectroscopy is used to study the kinematics and excitation mechanisms of H2 and [Fe II] lines in a sample of mostly Seyfert 1 galaxies. The spectral coverage allows simultaneous observation of the JHK bands, ... -
Near-infrared coronal lines in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies
(2002) [Journal article]We report spectroscopic observations in the wavelength region 0.8–2.4 μm aimed at detecting near-infrared coronal lines in a sample of five narrow-line and one broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. Our measurements show that [Si ... -
Nuclear activity and stellar population of a sample of interacting galaxies
(1999) [Journal article]In this paper we investigate the nuclear activity and stellar population in a sample of 27 physical galaxy pairs. Equivalent widths of absorption features are used to characterise the nuclear stellar population according ... -
A nuclear ionized gas outflow in the Seyfert 2 galaxy UGC 2024
(2019) [Journal article]As part of a high-resolution observational study of feeding and feedback processes occurring in the vicinity of the active galactic nucleus in 40 galaxies, we observed the inner 3′′.5 × 5 arcsec of the nearby spiral and ... -
Nuclear kinematics in nearby AGN-I. An ALMA perspective on the morphology and kinematics of the molecular CO(2–1) emission
(2019) [Journal article]We present the molecular gas morphology and kinematics of seven nearby Seyfert galaxies obtained from our 230 GHz ALMA observations. The COJ = 2−1 kinematics within the inner ∼30 arcsec (≲9 kpc) reveals rotation patterns ... -
Nuclear rings in active galaxies
(1996) [Journal article]We investigate two current problems in active galactic nuclei-the mode of fueling the putative black hole, and the question of whether the circumnuclear regions have experienced unusual chemical processing-by studying the ... -
Nuclear spirals as feeding channels to the supermassive black hole : the case of the galaxy NGC 6951
(2007) [Journal article]We report the discovery of gas streaming motions along nuclear spiral arms toward the LINER nucleus of the galaxyNGC 6951. The observations, obtained using theGMOS integral field spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope, ... -
On the nature of the near-UV extended light in Seyfert galaxies
