Received 2018 June 22; in original form 2018 April 16 ABSTRACT We demonstrate a robust method of resolving the star formation and AGN contributions to emission lines using two very well known AGN systems: NGC 1365 and NGC 1068, using the high spatial resolution data from the TYPHOON/PrISM survey. We expand the previous method of calculating the AGN fraction by using theoretical-based model grids rather than empirical points. The high spatial resolution of the TYPHOON/PrISM observations shows evidence of both star formation and AGN activity occurring in the nuclei of the two galaxies. We rebin the data to the lower resolutions, typically found in other integral field spectroscopy surveys such as SAMI, MaNGA, and CALIFA.

The distance of NGC 1316, the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster, provides an interesting test for the cosmological distance scale. First, because Fornax is the second largest cluster of galaxies within 25 Mpc after Virgo and, in contrast to Virgo, has a small line-of-sight depth; and second, because NGC 1316 is the single galaxy with the largest number of detected Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), giving the opportunity to test the consistency of SNe Ia distances both internally and against other distance indicators. Methods. We measure surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) in NGC 1316 from ground- and space-based imaging data. The sample provides a homogeneous set of measurements over a wide wavelength interval.

However, given their relative weakness, these transitions have historically been neglected. We present Australia Telescope Compact Array 4 cm and 15 mm band spectral line observations of nine nearby star-forming galaxies in the H75 array configuration. Thirteen different molecular lines are detected across the sample from OH, NH3,H2O, H2CO, and c-C3H2, as well as 18 radio recombination lines 2 (RRLs) in NGC253. Excited OH P32absorption is detected toward NGC253 (J=5/2), NGC4945 (J=9/2), and Circinus (J=9/2); the latter two represent only the third and fourth extragalactic J=9/2 detections.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract We have analyzed the frequency and properties of the nuclear activity in a sample of galaxies with circumnuclear rings and spirals (CNRs), compiled from published data. From the properties of this sample a typical circumnuclear ring can be characterized as having a median radius of 0.7 kpc (mean 0.8 kpc, rms 0.4 kpc), located at a spiral Sa/Sb galaxy (75% of the hosts), with a bar (44% weak, 37% strong bars). The sample includes 73 emission line rings, 12 dust rings and 9 stellar rings. The sample was compared with a carefully matched control sample of galaxies with very similar global properties but without detected circumnuclear rings. We discuss the relevance of the results in regard to the AGN feeding processes and present the following results: 1) bright companion galaxies seem

We obtained H + K- and K-band near-infrared (NIR) integral-field observations from VLT/SINFONI. Our results reveal strong broad and narrow emission-line components of ionized gas (hydrogen recombination lines Paα and Brγ) in the nuclear region, as well as hot dust with a temperature of ∼1300 K, both typical for type-1 AGNs. From MBH − σ∗ and the broad components of 6 hydrogen recombination lines, we find a black-hole mass of (5−10)×10 M . In the central ∼800 pc, we find a hot molecular gas mass 8 of ∼615 M , which corresponds to a cold molecular gas reservoir of (2−8) × 10 M .

Images were obtained on 12 epochs in the F555W band and on five epochs in the F814W band. The galaxy hosted the prototypical, "Branch normal", type Ia supernova SN 1989B. A total of 83 variables have been found, of which 68 are definite Cepheid variables with periods ranging from 75 days to 3.85 days. The de-reddened distance modulus is determined to be (m - M)0 = 30.22 -t- 0.12 (internal uncertainty) using a subset of the Cepheid data whose reddening and error parameters are secure.

CHANDRA X-RAY OBSERVATIONS OF NGC 1316 (FORNAX A) Dong-Woo Kim and G. Fabbiano Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 Received 2002 June 25; accepted 2002 December 9 ABSTRACT We report the results of the Chandra ACIS subarcsecond resolution X-ray observation of the archetypal merger radio galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A). We confirm the presence of fine substructures in the hot inter- stellar medium (ISM). Some of these are likely to result from interaction with the radio jets, while others may be related to a complex intermingling of different phases of the ISM. We detect a low-luminosity X-ray active 39 À1 galactic nucleus (AGN) with LX ¼ 5 Â 10 ergs s (in 0.3–8 keV) and a À ¼ 1:7 power-law energy spectrum. We also detect 81 point sources within the 25th magnitude isophotal ellipse of NGC 1316 (LX in the range of 2 Â 1037 to 2 Â 1039 ergs sÀ1), with hard (kT 5 keV) X-ray spectra, typical of X-ray binaries, and a spatial radial distribution consistent with that of the optical (i.e., stellar) surface brightness. We derive the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of these sources, correcting for the incompleteness at the faint end caused by the presence of the diffuse emission from the hot ISM in the central regions of NGC 1316 and by the widening of the Chandra point-spread functions at increasing distance from the aim point.

Madore20 Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series ABSTRACT The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) is the largest available database of deep, homogeneous middle-infrared (mid-IR) images of galaxies of all types. The survey, which includes 2352 nearby galaxies, reveals galaxy morphology only minimally affected by interstellar extinction. This paper presents an atlas and classifications of S4G galaxies in the Comprehensive de Vaucouleurs revised Hubble-Sandage (CVRHS) system. The CVRHS system follows the precepts of classical de Vaucouleurs (1959) morphology, modified to include recognition of other features such as inner, outer, and nuclear lenses, nuclear rings, bars, and disks, spheroidal galaxies, X patterns and box/peanut structures, OLR subclass outer rings and pseudorings, bar ansae and barlenses, parallel sequence late-types, thick disks, and embedded disks in 3D early-type systems. We show that our CVRHS classifications are internally consistent, and that nearly half of the S4G sample consists of extreme late-type systems (mostly bulgeless, pure disk galaxies) in the range Scd-Im.
