Claims

C1strongest claim

We find that radio jets drive enhanced turbulence in both molecular and ionized (traced by [FeII], [NeII] and [NeIII] lines) gas, not only along but also perpendicular to the jet axis, indicating that jet--ISM interactions extend beyond the collimated jet channel and affect the nuclear environment. Strong correlations between the H2/PAH ratio, the H2 excitation temperature, and shock-sensitive ionized-gas tracers indicate that jet-driven shocks dominate the excitation of the H2 rotational lines in most sources.

C2weakest assumption

That the observed spatial correlations and line ratio diagnostics uniquely indicate jet-driven shocks and turbulence as the dominant mechanism, rather than contributions from other excitation processes or projection effects in the sample of seven sources.

C3one line summary

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.
