AbstractA combination of an array of small lenses together with fibre optics can be used to produce a high transmission spectrograph which can record the spectra of many image elements simultaneously. Such a design may play an important role in ground based observations preparing for the NASA-ESA Space Telescope programmes.

We present the final observations of a complete sample of 37 radio galaxies from the Third Cambridge Catalogue (3C) with redshift < 0.3 and declination < 20° obtained with the VLT/MUSE optical integral field spectrograph. These data were obtained as part of the MUse RAdio Loud Emission line Snapshot (MURALES) survey with the main goal of exploring the AGN feedback process in the most powerful radio sources. We present the data analysis and, for each source, the resulting emission line images and the 2D gas velocity field. Thanks to the unprecedented depth these observations reveal emission line regions (ELRs) extending several tens of kiloparsec in most objects. The gas velocity shows ordered rotation in 25 galaxies, but in several sources it is highly complex. We find that the 3C sources show a connection between radio morphology and emission line properties. In the ten FR I sources the line emission region is generally compact, only a few kpc in size; only in one case does it exceed the size of the host. Conversely, all but two of the FR II galaxies show large-scale structures of ionized gas. The median extent is 16 kpc with the maximum reaching a size of ∼80 kpc. There are no apparent differences in extent or strength between the ELR properties of the FR II sources of high and low gas excitation. We confirm that the previous optical identification of 3C 258 is incorrect: this radio source is likely associated with a quasi-stellar object at z ∼ 1.54.

Extract Information

The central regions of Seyfert galaxies, comprising broad and narrow line regions and the inner parts of galaxy disk and bulge, is characterized by a complex interplay among many physical effects. Specifically, it is shaped by the influence of the central black hole, producing ionization by an hard continuum and gas outflows. The integral-field spectrograph MUSE at the ESO VLT allows to carry out a detailed study of these regions to obtain their ionization, dynamical, and metallicity properties. Here we present some highlights of the MAGNUM survey which is designed to study the central regions of a sample of nearby (D > 500 pc) Seyfert galaxies. We describe the rationale of the survey, the data analysis techniques used to extract information on ionization and dynamics, and the results for one galaxy, Centaurus A.

AbstractWe conducted an observational program using the TIGER integral field spectrograph to study the dynamical structure of nearby galactic nuclei. We already obtained new original results on three of the best ”Black Holes Candidates”: M 32, M 31 and M 104. Their nuclei exhibit complex morphologies and unusual dynamical properties such as: asymmetries, anisotropy, triaxiality which would have been impossible to detect with a ”classical“ spectrograph.

AbstractThe TIGER integral field spectrograph has been used to study nearby and distant active galaxies. We first present new TIGER observations of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1275. In this very complex object, TIGER allows us to disentangle the contributions of the numerous components. We present the first very promising results on NGC 5252 obtained with the 3-D data-cube deconvolution techniques developed by our team in Lyon.
