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 ...

Galaxy activity in merging binary galaxy clusters [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009
We present the results of a study of galaxy activity in two merging binary clusters (A168 and A1750) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data supplemented with the data in the literature. We have investigated the merger histories of A168 and A1750 by combining the results from a two-body dynamical model and X-ray data.

Chemical abundances in active galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has proved to be a powerful resource for understanding the physical properties and chemical composition of star-forming galaxies in the local Universe. The SDSS population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains as of yet less explored in this capacity.

GOALS-JWST: Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of the Nucleus of NGC 7469

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present mid-infrared spectroscopic observations of the nucleus of the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 7469 taken with the MIRI instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of Directors Discretionary Time Early Release Science program 1328 ...

Mechanical heating by active galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2005
Jets and winds are significant channels for energy loss from accreting black holes. These outflows mechanically heat their surroundings, through shocks as well as gentler forms of heating. We discuss recent efforts to understand the nature and distribution of mechanical heating by central active galactic nuclei (AGN) in clusters of ...

Nuclear spallation in active galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
A number of works point to the presence of narrow emission features at unusual energies in the X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) or to potentially low iron abundances as possible evidence for the spallation of iron. With the imminence of high-resolution calorimeter spectroscopy, the potential to test spallation models in astrophysical ...

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.

Reverberation Mapping of Optical Emission Lines in Five Active Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present the first results from an optical reverberation mapping campaign executed in 2014 targeting the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) MCG+08-11-011, NGC 2617, NGC 4051, 3C 382, and Mrk 374.

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.
