Integral Field Spectroscopy of low and high-redshift galaxies hosting supermassive black holes using ground-based and space telescopes
Darshan Kakkad
Over the past decade, spatially-resolved spectroscopy spanning optical, near & mid-infrared, and sub-mm wavelengths has played a pivotal role in providing insights into the influence of star formation and AGN feedback on the interstellar medium of host galaxies. Expanding our observational reach across a broader wavelength spectrum has granted us access to a diverse set of gas phases such as neutral, ionized, and molecular phases. Furthermore, advancements in spatial resolution have empowered us to zoom-in to the central regions of galaxies in finer detail, facilitating detailed studies of the torus structures and outflows originating from Active Galactic Nuclei on parsec scales. In this presentation, I will summarize findings from our recent observational campaigns focused on spatially-resolved spectroscopy, targeting both low and high redshift AGN host galaxies from BASS, SUPER, QFeedS and S7 surveys. These studies leverage state-of-the-art observatories such as the VLT, Keck, JWST, and ALMA. I will conclude by showcasing how the forthcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory will play a pivotal role in bridging crucial knowledge gaps, particularly through its capability to provide resolved UV spectroscopy in the future.

Over the past decade, NASA's Swift Gamma-ray Burst Explorer has proven itself to be one of the most versatile astrophysics missions ever flown.
Highlights of Swift's Decade of Discovery
NASA's Swift satellite rode to orbit aboard a Delta II rocket on November 20, 2004, and it's still going strong.
At 7:26 this morning, BurstCube was successfully deployed from the ISS. The team now awaits the opportunity to communicate with the satellite, some t...
