14. Davide Belfiori - Studying magnetic fields structure of the starburst galaxy NGC253 through ALMA polarization observations

12/06/2023, 16:10

The knowledge of magnetic field structure in the interstellar medium of galaxies is crucial to understand how magnetic fields influence gas dynamics and in particular their role in regulating star formation, driving galactic outflows and fuelling galactic nuclei. Given the multi-phase nature of the interstellar medium, the combination of different tracers is needed to get a complete picture....

15. Federico Esposito - Modelling molecular clouds and CO excitation in AGN-host galaxies

12/06/2023, 16:30

The molecular phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) is the birthplace of stars, hence it plays a central role in the evolution of galaxies. It is also one of the main sources of accretion and obscuration for active galactic nuclei (AGN). Stars and AGN, in turn, excite the molecular gas in galaxies in a feedback process. I will present how we can study the AGN feedback at mm/sub-mm wavelengths...

16. Ilaria Ruffa - Molecular gas kinematics in local early-type galaxies with ALMA

12/06/2023, 16:50

The unprecedented resolution and sensitivity provided by ALMA have opened up a new era in the study of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) at low redshifts (z<0.1), enabling us to resolve the key scales over which the feeding and energetic output of their central super-massive black holes (SMBHs) operate, and thus uncovering a number of physical phenomena (e.g. nuclear bars, massive cold gas...

17. Maria Vittoria Zanchettin - AGN driven winds and gaseous discs in local Seyfert galaxies: high resolution study of the multiphase ISM with ALMA, MUSE and JVLA

12/06/2023, 17:10

In this talk I will discuss the physics of the multiphase gas in local active galaxies and the impact of the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) on the host galaxy evolution. AGNs can generate winds and jets that interact with the host galaxy interstellar medium (ISM), potentially altering both the star formation and the nuclear gas accretion. I will focus on the cold molecular and warm ionized...
