Radio Jet Feedback on the Inner Disk of Virgo Spiral Galaxy Messier 58

Radio Jet Feedback on the Inner Disk of Virgo Spiral Galaxy Messier 58

Spitzer spectral maps reveal a disk of highly luminous, warm (>150 K) H _2 in the center of the massive spiral galaxy Messier 58, which hosts a radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN). The inner 2.6 kpc of the galaxy appears to be overrun by shocks from the radio jet cocoon. Gemini NIRI imaging...
