DESCRIPTION:Prof. Francisco Sanchez (The University of Memphis)\n\nStudying
  AGN feedback under the microscope with Keck Adaptive Optics and JWST.\n\n
 The discovery of several black hole scaling relationships has shown that s
 upermassive black holes are not just astronomical ornaments sitting at the
  centers of galaxies\, but they play a crucial role in the formation and e
 volution of galaxies. In this talk\, I will describe recent work showing h
 ow supermassive black holes influence their host galaxies. I will focus on
  our team’s recent results for a large sample of nearby active galactic 
 nuclei (AGN) observed with Adaptive Optics (AO) at the Keck Observatory (t
 he KONA survey) and with JWST. Our sample contains AGN in isolated galaxie
 s and AGN pairs. We find that AGN-driven outflows of ionized gas are ubiqu
 itous in both\, single and dual AGN\, with mass outflow rates ranging from
  a few solar masses per year in Seyfert galaxies to ~100 solar masses per 
 year in dual AGN. The observations provide direct evidence of the ways in 
 which the AGN outflows interact with the interstellar medium (AGN feedback
  in action)\, either by creating cavities of molecular gas\, or by launchi
 ng molecular outflows\, in both cases suppressing star formation.
