Identifying Active Galactic Nuclei at z ∼ 3 from the HETDEX Survey Using Machine Learning

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We used data from the Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) to study the incidence of AGN in continuum-selected galaxies at z ∼ 3.

Infrared observations of AGN [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2004
We present results from an imaging and spectroscopic study of the dust properties of Seyfert galaxies in the 1-10um range. The data are compared to state of the art models of torus emission to constrain geometrical and physical properties of the obscuring medium.

Spitzer-IRS high resolution spectroscopic survey of the 12 micron Seyfert galaxies: II. Results for the Complete Dataset

open access: yes, 2009
We present the Spitzer 10-37um IRS high resolution (R~600) spectroscopic survey of the Seyfert galaxies of the 12 micron Galaxy Sample. The new spectra of 61 galaxies, with those already published, gives us a total of 91 12micron Seyfert galaxies ...

Origin and properties of dual and offset active galactic nuclei in a cosmological simulation at z=2

open access: yes, 2016
In the last few years, it became possible to observationally resolve galaxies with two distinct nuclei in their centre. For separations smaller than 10kpc, dual and offset active galactic nuclei (AGN) are distinguished: in dual AGN, both nuclei are ...

The radio AGN population dichotomy: Green valley Seyferts versus red sequence low-excitation AGN [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Radio outflows of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are invoked in cosmological models as a key feedback mechanism in the latest phases of massive galaxy formation.

Do Bars Trigger Activity in Galactic Nuclei?

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate the connection between the presence of bars and AGN activity, using a volume-limited sample of $\sim$9,000 late-type galaxies with axis ratio $b/a>0.6$ and $M_{r} < -19.5+5{\rm log}h$ at low redshift ($0.02\le z\lesssim 0.055$), selected ...

Beware of Fake AGNs [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009
AbstractIn the BPT diagram, the distribution of the emission-line galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) evokes the wings of a seagull. Traditionally, galaxies in the right wing are considered to host AGNs. Our study of the stellar populations of SDSS galaxies showed that ~ 1/4 of galaxies thought to host LINERs are in fact “retired galaxies,

Multifunctional Alginate‐Based Films Reinforced With Ag‐ZnO/AgO/TiO2 Nanocomposites for Advanced Packaging and Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Biodegradable polymeric films incorporated with a synergistic blend of metallic nanocomposites are developed and characterized. The films exhibit enhanced antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens, demonstrating their potential as active materials for food packaging.

The major merger–active galactic nucleus connection up to cosmic noon

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Galaxy major mergers are a potential mechanism for triggering active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity, but their role remains debated, particularly beyond the local Universe.

Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback in SDSS-IV MaNGA: AGNs Have Suppressed Central Star Formation Rates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Despite the importance of feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in models of galaxy evolution, observational constraints on the influence of AGN feedback on star formation remain weak.
