Description
Integral-field spectroscopy techniques are ideal to study objects of complex morphology and kinematics such as the circumnuclear region of AGN. We have obtained the stellar and ionized gas kinematics of four Seyfert galaxies by using integral field spectroscopy with optical fibers. For each galaxy, the kinematics of the stellar component can be well explained as rotation in a disk. The ionized gas is affected by radial motions along the radio axis path. In the cases of NGC 2992, NGC 4151, and NGC 4388 the deviation of the ionized gas kinematics relative to the stellar velocity field can be well explained purely by the presence of the active nucleus. For NGC 1068, a minor merger seems to be compatible withcomplex kinematics of the stellar and ionized gas components.

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    The molecular gas perspective on the growth and death of H emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at Alpha z=2.16
    Galaxy clusters at low redshift are dominated by massive quiescent galaxies hosting stellar populations 10 Gyrs old, indicating that they were formed in the early universe when clusters were still in the process of being assembled (i.e., protoclusters). The rapid growth of galaxies within protoclusters is driven by the efficient transformation of
