A New Method to Measure Star Formation Rates in Active Galaxies Using Mid-infrared Neon Emission Lines [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The star formation rate (SFR) is one of the most fundamental parameters of galaxies, but nearly all of the standard SFR diagnostics are difficult to measure in active galaxies because of contamination from the active galactic nucleus (AGN).

Evidence for a Young Stellar Population in Nearby Type 1 Active Galaxies [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 To understand the physical origin of the close connection between supermassive black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies, it is vital to investigate star formation properties in active galaxies.

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

Starburst99: Synthesis Models for Galaxies with Active Star Formation [PDF]
, 1999 Starburst99 is a comprehensive set of model predictions for spectrophotometric and related properties of galaxies with active star formation. The models are an improved and extended version of the data set previously published by Leitherer & Heckman.

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 ...

Shock Excitation in Narrow-line Regions Powered by AGN Outflows
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Outflows in an active galactic nucleus (AGN) are considered to play a key role in the evolution of the host galaxy through transfer of a large amount of energy.

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

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

The effect of environment on AGN activity: the properties of radio and optical AGN in void, isolated and group galaxies [PDF]
, 2021 The evolution of galaxies depends on their environments. In this work, active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity in different environments has been studied. The fractions of radio and optical AGN in four different environments have been compared using samples of void, isolated, group member, and the brightest group galaxies (BGGs).
