AbstractThe J-PAS survey will soon start observing thousands of square degrees of the Northern Sky with its unique set of 56 narrow band filters covering the entire optical wavelength range, providing, effectively, a low resolution spectra for every object detected. Active galaxies and quasars, thanks to their strong emission lines, can be easily identified and characterized with J-PAS data. A variety of studies can be performed, from IFU-like analysis of local AGN, to clustering of high-z quasars. We also expect to be able to extract intrinsic physical quasar properties from the J-PAS pseudo-spectra, including continuum slope and emission line luminosities. Here we show the first attempts of using the QSFit software package to derive the properties for 22 quasars at 0.8 < z < 2 observed by the miniJPAS survey, the first deg2 of J-PAS data obtained with an interim camera. Results are compared with the ones obtained by applying the same software to SDSS quasar spectra.

AbstractSince the first discovery of an extra-solar planet around a main-sequence star, in 1995, the number of detected exoplanets has increased enormously. Over the past two decades, observational instruments (both onboard and on ground-based facilities) have revealed an astonishing diversity in planetary physical features (i. e. mass and radius), and orbital parameters (e.g. period, semi-major axis, inclination). Exoplanetary atmospheres provide direct clues to understand the origin of these differences through their observable spectral imprints. In the near future, upcoming ground and space-based telescopes will shift the focus of exoplanetary science from an era of “species discovery” to one of “atmospheric characterization”. In this context, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large (Ariel) survey, will play a key role. As it is designed to observe and characterize a large and diverse sample of exoplanets, Ariel will provide constraints on a wide gamut of atmospheric properties allowing us to extract much more information than has been possible so far (e.g. insights into the planetary formation and evolution processes). The low resolution spectra obtained with Ariel will probe layers different from those observed by ground-based high resolution spectroscopy, therefore the synergy between these two techniques offers a unique opportunity to understanding the physics of planetary atmospheres. In this paper, we set the basis for building up a framework to effectively utilise, at near-infrared wavelengths, high-resolution datasets (analyzed via the cross-correlation technique) with spectral retrieval analyses based on Ariel low-resolution spectroscopy. We show preliminary results, using a benchmark object, namely HD 209458 b, addressing the possibility of providing improved constraints on the temperature structure and molecular/atomic abundances.

Previous studies of the central region of active galaxies show that the molecular and ionized gas have distinct kinematics and flux distributions, with the former dominated by quiescent kinematics characteristic of rotation in the galactic plane and the latter with more disturbed kinematics and apparently extending to larger galactic latitudes. These results suggest that the molecular gas can be a tracer of the feeding of the AGN and the ionized gas a tracer of its feedback (e.g., Riffel et al. 2009, 2008, 2006; Storchi-Bergmann et al. 2009a, b). In the present study we use Gemini NIFS integral field observations of the inner 700×700 pc2 of the Seyfert galaxy Mrk 1066 at a spatial resolution of ~ 35 pc to investigate if the above scenario is also valid for this galaxy.

I discuss the role of galactic bars in the fuelling of (circum)nuclear activity. Since the majority of all galaxies are barred, the presence of a bar in a Seyfert galaxy cannot be the sole reason for their activity, although it appears to be a necessary condition for activity. Two options for further work are being explored, high-resolution near-infrared imaging of samples of active and non-active galaxies, and detailed case studies of selected galaxy cores.
