New JWST observations of Centaurus A detect H2 lines up to S(8) and map a warm molecular disk with a 20-pc cavity aligned to the jet, filamentary high-excitation structures, S-shaped kinematics, and an inward streamer, yielding a warm H2 mass of 5.6e5 solar masses heated by shocks.
First velocity-resolved [O I] 63/145 um maps of the Orion BN/KL outflow show broad components from dense warm postshock gas, with line ratios matching 30-40 km/s dissociative J-shocks illuminated by external UV, yielding [O I] luminosity 86.5 L_sun and mass-loss rate ~9e-3 M_sun/yr.
New NIR diagnostic diagrams using [C I]/Paγ and H2 1-0 O(5)/PAH 3.3μm ratios correlate with radiation field hardness and distinguish star formation, AGN, and shock excitation in galaxy nuclei.
JWST spectroscopy reveals radio jets in nearby AGN drive multiphase ISM turbulence and shock-dominated H2 excitation both along and perpendicular to the jet direction.
Multi-phase molecular gas in IRAS20551-4250 is dominated by cold CO, shows UV-heated warm H2, tidal features from a merger, and no molecular outflows, consistent with ongoing star formation.
