Feeding versus feedback in active galactic nuclei from near-infrared integral field spectroscopy – XII. NGC 5548

AbstractI report results of kinematic studies of the Narrow-Line Region (NLR) of nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from integral field spectroscopy (IFS) obtained with the Gemini Telescopes, including mass outflow rates and corresponding kinetic power. The IFS has allowed the construction of velocity channel maps which provide a better coverage of the gas kinematics and do not support the presence of acceleration up to hundred parsec scales in the NLR as found in previous studies based solely on centroid velocity maps.

AbstractIntegral field spectroscopy of nearby supernova sites within ~30 Mpc have been obtained using multiple IFU spectrographs in Hawaii and Chile. This technique enables both spatial and spectral information of the explosion sites to be acquired simultaneously, thus providing the identification of the parent stellar population of the supernova progenitor and the estimates for its physical parameters including age and metallicity via the spectrum. While this work has mainly been done in the optical wavelengths using instruments such as VIMOS, GMOS, and MUSE, a near-infrared approach has also been carried out using the AO-assisted SINFONI. By studying the supernova parent stellar population, we aim to characterize the mass and metallicity of the progenitors of different types of supernovae.

AbstractTransiting exoplanets provide a unique opportunity for follow up exploration through phase-differential observation of their emission and transmission spectra. From such spectra immediate clues about the atmospheric composition and the planets chemistry can be drawn. Such information is of imminent importance for the theory of the formation of planets in general as well as for their particular evolution. Ground-based spectroscopy of exoplanet transits is a needful extension of results already obtained through space-based observations. We present results of an exploratory study to use near-infrared integral field spectroscopy to observe extrasolar planets. We demonstrate how adaptive optics-assisted integral field spectroscopy compares with other spectroscopic techniques currently applied. An advanced reduction method using elements of a spectral-differential decorrelation method is also discussed. We have tested our concept with a K-Band time series observations of HD209458b and HD189733b obtained with SINFONI at the VLT and OSIRIS at Keck during secondary transits at a spectral resolution of R=3000.
