Some 20% of our nuclear spectra have infrared emission lines, mostly Paschen lines, Brackett γ , and [Fe ii]. We consider the influence of radio power and black hole mass in relation to the spectra.

Large-Scale Outflows in Edge-On Seyfert Galaxies. II. Kiloparsec
Large-Scale Outflows in Edge-on Seyfert Galaxies. II. Kiloparsec-Scale Radio Continuum Emission Edward J. M. Colbert1,2, Stefi A. Baum1, Jack F. Gallimore1,2, Christopher P. O’Dea1, Jennifer A. Christensen1 Received ; accepted arXiv:astro-ph/9604022v1 3 Apr 1996 1 Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218 2 Department of Astronomy, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 –2– ABSTRACT We present deep images of the kpc-scale radio continuum emission in 14 edge-on galaxies (ten Seyfert and four starburst galaxies). Observations were taken with the VLA at 4.9 GHz (6 cm). The Seyfert galaxies were selected from a distance-limited sample of 22 objects (defined in paper I). The starburst galaxies were selected to be well-matched to the Seyferts in radio power, recessional velocity and inclination angle. All four starburst galaxies have a very bright disk component and one (NGC 3044) has a radio halo that extends several kpc out of the galaxy plane. Six of the ten Seyferts observed have large-scale (radial extent >1 kpc) radio structures extending outward from the ∼ nuclear region, indicating that large-scale outflows are quite common in Seyferts. Large-scale radio sources in Seyferts are similar in radio power and radial extent to radio halos in edge-on starburst galaxies, but their morphologies do not resemble spherical halos observed in starburst galaxies. The sources have diffuse morphologies, but, in general, they are oriented at skewed angles with respect to the galaxy minor axes. This result is most easily understood if the outflows are AGN-driven jets that are somehow diverted away from the galaxy disk on scales >1 kpc. -
Rotation Curves of High-Resolution LSB and SPARC Galaxies with Fuzzy and Multistate (Ultralight Boson) Scalar field Dark Matter

Received 2017 December 8; in original form 2017 January 4 ABSTRACT Cold dark matter (CDM) has shown to be an excellent candidate for the dark matter (DM) of the Universe at large scales; however, it presents some challenges at the galactic level. The scalar field dark matter (SFDM), also called fuzzy, wave, Bose–Einstein condensate, or ultralight axion DM, is identical to CDM at cosmological scales but different at the galactic ones. SFDM forms core haloes, it has a natural cut-off in its matter power spectrum, and it predicts well-formed galaxies at high redshifts. In this work we reproduce the rotation curves of high- resolution low surface brightness (LSB) and SPARC galaxies with two SFDM profiles: (1) the soliton+NFW profile in the fuzzy DM (FDM) model, arising empirically from cosmological simulations of real, non-interacting scalar field (SF) at zero temperature, and (2) the multistate SFDM (mSFDM) profile, an exact solution to the Einstein–Klein–Gordon equations for a real, self-interacting SF, with finite temperature into the SF potential, introducing several quantum states as a realistic model for an SFDM halo. -

Dubrovich* Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russian Academy of Sciences, pos. Nizhniœ Arkhyz, Stavropol kraœ, 357147 Russia Received June 2, 2000; in final form, October 2, 2000 Abstract—We consider the formation mechanisms of “negative”-intensity spots in the radio band for various astrophysical conditions. For wavelengths λ < 1.5 mm, the regions of reduced temperature (relative to the cos- mic microwave background radiation, CMBR) are shown to be produced only by high-redshift objects moving at peculiar velocities. The main processes are CMBR Thomson scattering and bremsstrahlung. We show that the effect δT/T can be ~ 10–5 in magnitude. We derive simple analytic expressions, which allow the redshifts, electron densities, and linear sizes of these regions to be estimated from observed spectral and spatial parame- ters. Additional observational methods for refining these parameters are outlined. © 2001 MAIK “Nauka/Inter- periodica”. Key words: theoretical and observational cosmology INTRODUCTION only two formation mechanisms of the “glow.” One of In the last 30 years, much attention has been given them is the Doppler distortion of external, equilibrium, to the search for and a detailed analysis of spatial fluc- and isotropic radiation (CMBR).

The sample comprises 78 ob- jects, divided into 43 Seyfert 2s, 26 Seyfert 1s, 3 Starburst and 6 normal galaxies. The spectra pertain to the inner ∼ 300 pc in radius, and thus sample the central kine- matics and stellar populations of active galaxies. The data are used to measure stellar velocity dispersions (σ⋆) both with cross-correlation and direct fitting methods. These measurements are found to be in good agreement with each-other and with those in previous studies for objects in common. The CaT equivalent width is also measured. -

Blakeslee Herzberg Astrophysics, Victoria, BC, Canada Chung-Pei Ma Department of Astronomy, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA Jenny E. Greene Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA Jens Thomas Max Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Garching, Germany. Draft version June 21, 2021 ABSTRACT We present near-infrared observations of 35 of the most massive early-type galaxies in the local universe. The observations were made using the infrared channel of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) in the F110W (1.1 µm) filter. We measured surface brightness profiles and elliptical isophotal fit parameters from the nuclear regions out to a radius of ∼10 kpc in most cases. We find that 37% (13) of the galaxies in our sample have isophotal position angle rotations greater than 20◦ over the radial range imaged by WFC3/IR, which is often due to the presence of neighbors or multiple nuclei. Most galaxies in our sample are significantly rounder near the center than in the outer regions. This sample contains six fast rotators and 28 slow rotators. We find that all fast rotators are either disky or show no measurable deviation from purely elliptical isophotes. Among slow rotators, significantly disky and boxy galaxies occur with nearly equal frequency. -
