Active galactic nuclei winds as the origin of the H2 emission excess in nearby galaxies
(2020) [Artículo de periódico]In most galaxies, the fluxes of rotational H2 lines strongly correlate with star formation diagnostics [such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)], suggesting that H2 emission from warm molecular gas is a minor ... -
An atlas of Hubble Space Telescope STIS spectra of Seyfert galaxies
(2006) [Artículo de periódico]We present a compilation of spectra of 101 Seyfert galaxies obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), covering the UV and/or optical spectral range. Information on all the ... -
An atlas of the circumnuclear regions of 75 Seyfert galaxies in the near-ultraviolet with the Hubble Space Telescope advanced camara for surveys
(2007) [Artículo de periódico]We present an atlas of the central regions of 75 Seyfert galaxies imaged in the near-UV with the Advanced Camera for Surveys of the Hubble Space Telescope at an average resolution of ~10 pc. These data complement archival ... -
An Hα nuclear spiral structure in the E0 active galaxy Arp 102B
(2011) [Artículo de periódico]We report the discovery of a two-armed mini-spiral structure within the inner kiloparsec of the E0 LINER/Seyfert 1 galaxy Arp 102B. The arms are observed in Hα emission and located east and west of the nucleus, extending ... -
An outflow in the Seyfert ESO 362-G18 revealed by Gemini-GMOS/IFU observations
(2018) [Artículo de periódico]We present two-dimensional stellar and gaseous kinematics of the inner 0.7 × 1.2 kpc2 of the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy ESO 362-G18, derived from optical (4092–7338 Å) spectra obtained with the GMOS integral field spectrograph on ... -
An outflow perpendicular to the radio jet in the Seyfert nucleus of NGC 5929
(2013) [Artículo de periódico]We report the observation of an outflow perpendicular to the radio jet in near-infrared integral field spectra of the inner 250 pc of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5929. The observations were obtained with the Gemini Near-infrared ... -
Constraints on the broad-line region properties and extinction in local Seyferts
(2016) [Artículo de periódico]We use high-spectral resolution (R>8000) data covering 3800–13 000 Å to study the physical conditions of the broad-line region (BLR) of nine nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies. Up to six broad HI lines are present in each spectrum. ... -
A correlation between the stellar and [Fe II] velocity dispersions in active galaxies
(2013) [Artículo de periódico]We use near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopic data from the inner few hundred parsecs of a sample of 47 active galaxies to investigate possible correlations between the stellar velocity dispersion (σ ), obtained from the ... -
Double-peaked broad line emission from the LINER nucleus of NGC 1097
(1993) [Artículo de periódico]We report the recent appearance of a very broad component in the Hα and Hβ emission lines of the weakly active nucleus of the Sersic-Pastoriza galaxy NGC 1097. Subtraction of the contribution of the stellar population from ... -
Double-peaked profiles : ubiquitous signatures of disks in the broad emission lines of active galactic nuclei
(2017) [Artículo de periódico]Broad (10,000 km s−1), double-peaked emission-line profiles of Balmer lines emitted by active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to originate in the outer parts of an accretion disk surrounding a nuclear supermassive black ... -
Elliptical accretion disks in active galactc nuclei
(1995) [Artículo de periódico]We present a calculation of the profiles of emission lines originating in a relativistic, eccentric disk, and show examples of the resulting model profiles. Our calculations are motivated by the fact that in about one ... -
Evolution of the accretion disc around the supermassive black hole of NGC 7213

Evolution of the nuclear accretion disk emission in NGC 1097 : getting closer to the black hole
(2003) [Artículo de periódico]We study the evolution of the broad, double-peaked H emission-line profile of the LINER/Seyfert 1 nucleus of NGC 1097, using 24 spectra obtained over a time span of 11 years—from 1991 November through 2002 October. While ... -
