Study of the nuclei of NGC 3732 and IC 4662
(1981) [Artigo de periódico]The nuclei of two galaxies which show intense [O III] emission lines, NGC 3732, an Sa, and IC 4662, an irregular with a very bright nucleus, are analyzed spectroscopically. The physical condition of the emitting gas and ... -
The black hole mass of NGC 4151. II. Stellar dynamical measurement from near-infrared field spectroscopy
(2014) [Artigo de periódico]We present a revised measurement of themass of the central black hole (MBH ) in the Seyfert 1 galaxyNGC4151. The new stellar dynamical mass measurement is derived by applying an axisymmetric orbit-superposition code to ... -
The CaT strength in Seyfert nuclei revisited : analysing young stars and non-stellar light contributions to the spectra
(2009) [Artigo de periódico]In a former paper, we have presented spectra of 64 active, nine normal and five starburst galaxies in the region around the near-infrared calcium triplet (CaT) absorption lines and the [S III]λ9069 line. In the present ... -
The complex gas kinematics in the nucleus of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1386 : rotation, outflows, and inflows
(2015) [Artigo de periódico]We present optical integral field spectroscopy of the circum-nuclear gas of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1386. The data cover the central 7″ × 9″ (530 × 680 pc) at a spatial resolution of 0″. 9 (68 pc), and the spectral range ... -
The dusty nuclear torus in NGC 4151 : constraints from gemini near-infrared integral field spectrograph observations
(2009) [Artigo de periódico]We have used a near-infrared (near-IR) nuclear spectrum (covering the Z, J, H, and K bands) of the nucleus of NGC 4151 obtained with the Gemini Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph (NIFS) and adaptive optics, to isolate ... -
The Eddington ratio-dependent ‘changing look’ events in NGC 2992
(2021) [Artigo de periódico]We present an analysis of historical multiwavelength emission of the `Changing Look’ (CL) Active Galactic Nucleu (AGN) in NGC 2992, covering epochs ranging from 1978 to 2021, as well as new X-ray and optical spectra. The ... -
The first detection of near-infrared CN bands in active galactic nuclei : signature of star formation
(2007) [Artigo de periódico]We present the first detection of the near-infrared CN absorption band in the nuclear spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). This feature is a recent star formation tracer, being particularly strong in carbon stars. The ... -
The ionization cone, obscured nucleus, and gaseous outflow in NGC 3281 : a prototypical Seyfert 2 galaxy?
(1992) [Artigo de periódico]We present narrow-band images and long-slit spectroscopy of the central region of the highly inclined Seyfert galaxy NGC 3281. The image of the continuum-subtracted [O III] λ4959 emission line shows a very clear conical ... -
The missing goliath's slingshot : massive black hole recoil at M83
(2010) [Artigo de periódico]The Fanaroff–Riley II radio source J133658.3−295105, which is also an X-ray source, appears to be projected onto the disk of the barred-spiral galaxy M83 at about 60" from the galaxy’s optical nucleus. J133658.3−295105 and ... -
The multiphase gas structure and kinematics in the circumnuclear region of NGC 5728
(2019) [Artigo de periódico]We report on our combined analysis of HST, VLT/MUSE, VLT/SINFONI, and ALMA observations of the local Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 5728 to investigate in detail the feeding and feedback of the active galactic nucleus (AGN). The ... -
The nuclear near-infrared spectral properties of nearby galaxies
(2015) [Artigo de periódico]We present spectra of the nuclear regions of 50 nearby (D = 1–92 Mpc, median = 20 Mpc) galaxies of morphological types E to Sm. The spectra, obtained with the Gemini Near-IR Spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope, cover ... -
The nuclear region of NGC 7469
(1990) [Artigo de periódico]We have made spectrophotometric observations of the nuclear and circumnuclear regions of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469, and we analyze the dynamics and structure of the emission-line regions. In the nuclear region of NGC ... -
The nucleus of C16.16 : another case of a double-peaked active galactic nucleus
(1996) [Artigo de periódico]We study optical spectra in high and low activity states of the faint, distant Seyfert 1 galaxy C16.16. A strong stellar population contribution to the continuum is observed, even in the high-state spectrum. The low-ionization ... -
The O [iota] line emission in active galactic nuclei revisited
(2002) [Artigo de periódico]UV, visible, and near-infrared spectroscopy is used to study the transitions of neutral oxygen leading to the emission of broad O i λ8446, λ11287, and λ1304 in active galactic nuclei. From the strength of the former two ... -
The role of host galaxy for the environmental dependence of active nuclei in local galaxies
(2017) [Artigo de periódico]We discuss the environment of local hard X-ray selected active galaxies, with reference to two independent group catalogues. We find that the fraction of these AGN in S0 host galaxies decreases strongly as a function of ... -
