JWST Insight into a Lensed HST-dark Galaxy and Its Quiescent Companion at z = 2.58

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Using the novel James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam observations in the A2744 field, we present a first spatially resolved overview of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST)-dark galaxy, spectroscopically confirmed at z = 2.58 with magnification μ ≈ 1.9 ...

Testing the Radio-selection Method of Dual Active Galactic Nuclei in the Stripe 82 Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We test the merger-induced dual active galactic nuclei (dAGNs) paradigm using a sample of 35 radio galaxy pairs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 field.

CLEAR: Spatially Resolved Emission Lines and Active Galactic Nuclei at 0.6 < z < 1.3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We investigate spatially resolved emission-line ratios in a sample of 219 galaxies (0.6 < z < 1.3) detected using the G102 grism on the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 taken as part of the CANDELS Ly α Emission at Reionization survey to ...

Accretion-modified Stars in Accretion Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei: The Low-luminosity Cases and an Application to Sgr A*

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
In this paper, we investigate the astrophysical processes of stellar-mass black holes (sMBHs) embedded in advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei.

Systematic Research of Low-redshift Optically Selected SDSS Type 2 AGNs but with Apparent Long-term Optical Variabilities from Catalina Sky Survey. I. Data Sample and Basic Results

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The main objective of this article, the first in a dedicated series, is to report basic results on systematic research of low-redshift optically selected SDSS Type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) but with apparent optical variabilities.

Identification and Characterization of a Large Sample of Distant Active Dwarf Galaxies in XMM-SERVS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Active dwarf galaxies are important because they contribute to the evolution of dwarf galaxies and can reveal their hosted massive black holes. However, the sample size of such sources beyond the local universe is still highly limited.

Spectral properties of AGN with very weak [O III] lines [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2011
The spectral properties of a sample of 58 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) spectra, in which emission [O III] λλ4959, 5007 Å lines are weak or totally absent, are analyzed.

The Origin and Evolution of Giant Radio Galaxies

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Giant radio galaxies are arguably the least understood of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN). We propose that radio galaxies are the product of large mergers that do not involve radio galaxies or radio quasars, such as in merging spiral galaxies, while ...
