Near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of violent starburst environments
de Grijs, Richard
Near-infrared (NIR) integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) of violent starburst environments at high spatial (and spectral) resolution has the potential to revolutionise our ideas regarding the local interactions between the newly formed massive stars and the interstellar medium (ISM) of their host galaxies. To illustrate this point, I present NIR IFS …
A dichotomy in radio jet orientations
de Zeeuw, P. T.; Verdoes Kleijn, Gijs
We examine the relative orientations of radio jets, central dust and stars in low-power (i.e., FR I and FR I/II) radio galaxies. We use the position angles of jet and dust to constrain the three-dimensional angle θDJ between jet and dust. For galaxies with filamentary dust 'lanes' (which tend to be misaligned with the galaxy major axis)…
Unveiling hidden AGN by IR observations
Haas, Martin
AGN can be dust-hidden by two ways and this talk considers how to unveil them in the infrared: firstly, the powerful 3CR radio galaxies, i.e., type-2 AGN which suffer from anisotropic obscuration of the nuclear region by the dust torus, and secondly, type-1 quasars, which seem to be isotropically reddened by dust, so that they escape detection via…
