0 Infrared spectroscopy of NGC 1068 : Probing the obscured ionizing AGN continuum
The ISO-SWS 4 2.5–45μm infrared spectroscopic observations of the nucleus of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068 (see companion paper) are combined with a compilation of UV to IR narrow emission line data to determine the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the obscured extreme-UV continuum that photoionizes the narrow line emitting gas in the active galactic nucleus. We search a large grid of gas c...
متن کاملNuSTAR observations of water megamaser AGN
Aims. Study the connection between the masing disk and obscuring torus in Seyfert 2 galaxies. Methods. We present a uniform X-ray spectral analysis of the high energy properties of 14 nearby megamaser Active Galactic Nuclei observed by NuSTAR. We use a simple analytical model to localize the maser disk and understand its connection with the torus by combining NuSTAR spectral parameters with ava...
متن کاملA New Compton-thick AGN in Our Cosmic Backyard: Unveiling the Buried Nucleus in NGC 1448 with NuSTAR
NGC 1448 is one of the nearest luminous galaxies (L8−1000μm > 10 L⊙) to ours (z = 0.00390), and yet the active galactic nucleus (AGN) it hosts was only recently discovered, in 2009. In this paper, we present an analysis of the nuclear source across three wavebands: mid-infrared (MIR) continuum, optical, and X-rays. We observed the source with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), ...
متن کاملHerschel-pacs Observations of Far-ir Co Line Emission in Ngc 1068: Highly Excited Molecular Gas in the Circumnuclear Disk∗
We report the detection of far-IR CO rotational emission from the prototypical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. Using Herschel-PACS, we have detected 11 transitions in the Jupper = 14–30 (Eupper/kB = 580–2565 K) range, all of which are consistent with arising from within the central 10′′ (700 pc). The detected transitions are modeled as arising from two different components: a moderate-excitation (ME...
متن کاملProbing circumnuclear molecular gas in NGC 5793 with OH absorption
We have observed the nuclear region of an edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 5793 with VLBI in order to determine the morphology of the central continuum source at 6 and 18 cm and the distribution of OH molecular gas at 18 cm on parsec scales. NGC 5793, with a type 2 Seyfert nucleus, is known to have peculiar H2O maser features in its center, indicating the presence of a rotating disk/torus (Hagiwara et...
