Star-forming AGN host galaxies [PDF]
New Astronomy Reviews, 2001 The symbiosis of nuclear activity and star-formation in galaxies, as manifested in their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) is reviewed. Attention is drawn to an Hertzsprung-Russell diagram-equivalent for such objects, as well as to the importance of the SEDs in cosmological context.

The impact of AGN on their host galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013 AbstractIn these proceedings I briefly: (1) review the impact (or “feedback”) that active galactic nuclei (AGN) are predicted to have on their host galaxies and larger scale environment, (2) review the observational evidence for or against these predictions and (3) present new results on ionised outflows in AGN.

GALAXIES ON DIET: FEEDBACK SIGNATURES IN RADIO-AGN HOST GALAXIES [PDF]
Publications of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2017 There exists strong evidence supporting the co-evolution of central supermassive black holes and their host galaxies; however it is still under debate how such a relation comes about and whether it is relevant for all or only a subset of galaxies. An important mechanism connecting AGN to their host galaxies is AGN feedback, potentially heating up or ...

The Evolution of AGN and Their Host Galaxies
, 2016 Active galaxies have been in the forefront of astronomic research since their first discovery, at least 50 years ago (e.g. Schmidt, 1963; Matthews & Sandage, 1963). The putative supermassive black hole (SMBH) at their center characterizes their properties and regulates the evolution of these objects.

The Interplay between Radio AGN Activity and Their Host Galaxies
Galaxies, 2023 Radio activity in AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei) produce feedback on the host galaxy via the impact of the relativistic jets on the circumnuclear gas. Although radio jets can reach up to several times the optical radius of the host galaxy, in this review we focus on the observation of the feedback deposited locally in the central region of the host ...

AGN and the Characteristics of their Host Galaxies
, 2013 The vast majority of optically identified active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the local universe reside in host galaxies with prominent bulges, supporting the hypothesis that black hole formation and growth is fundamentally connected to the buildup of galaxy bulges.

Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe investigate the far-infrared (far-IR) incidence of X-ray-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galaxies that do not host an AGN (non-AGNs) as a function of the stellar mass (M*), star formation rate (SFR), and specific black hole accretion rate (λsBHAR), using data from five well-characterized extragalactic fields (COSMOS, XMM-LSS, Stripe82 ...

BASS. LIV. Physical Properties of AGN-hosting Galaxy Mergers from Multiwavelength SED Fitting
The Astrophysical JournalGalaxy mergers are believed to play an important role in triggering rapid supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. As merging nuclei approach each other, the physical properties of the participating galaxies and the associated SMBH growth are expected to ...

The smallest AGN host galaxies [PDF]
New Astronomy Reviews, 2006 We describe our efforts to study dwarf galaxies with active nuclei, whose black holes, with masses < 10^6 M_sun, provide the best current observational constraints on the mass distribution of primordial seed black holes. Although these low-mass galaxies do not necessarily contain classical bulges, Barth, Greene, & Ho (2005) show that their ...
