Active Galactic Nuclei Search [PDF]
Atoms, 2017 We present the first results of medium-band photometric observations on the 1m Schmidt Telescope of Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (Armenia). The object sample was created in the SA68 field.

Hydrodynamical Simulations of the Triggering of Nuclear Activities by Minor Mergers of Galaxies [PDF]
2019, Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 19, 177, 2021 Major mergers of galaxies are considered to be an efficient way to trigger Active Galactic Nuclei and are thought to be responsible for the phenomenon of quasars. This has however recently been challenged by observations of a large number of low luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei at low redshift ($z\lesssim1$) without obvious major merger signatures ...

Investigation of Stellar Kinematics and Ionized Gas Outflows in Local (U)LIRGs
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explore the properties of stellar kinematics and ionized gas in a sample of 1106 local (U)LIRGs from the AKARI telescope. We combine data from Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 13 to fit the spectral energy ...

NuSTAR Observations of a Heavily X-Ray-obscured AGN in the Dwarf Galaxy J144013+024744
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a multiwavelength analysis of the dwarf Seyfert 2 galaxy J144013+024744, a candidate obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN) thought to be powered by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH, M _• ≈ 10 ^4 −10 ^6 M _⊙ ) of mass M _• ∼ 10 ^5.2 M _⊙ .
