Clustering, host galaxies, and evolution of AGN

open access: yes, 2009
We explore the connection between different classes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the evolution of their host galaxies, by deriving host galaxy properties, clustering, and Eddington ratios of AGNs selected in the radio, X-ray, and infrared (IR) wavebands from the wide-field (9 deg^2) Bootes survey.

Deep Chandra Observations of NGC 5728. III. Probing the High-resolution X-Ray Morphology and Multiphase Interstellar Medium Interactions in the Circumnuclear Region

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a detailed imaging analysis of 260 ks of subarcsecond resolution Chandra (ACIS-S) observations of the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5728. Our study focuses on the bright and diffuse soft X-ray emission within the galaxy's inner ∼1 kpc.

Unlocking AGN variability with custom ZTF photometry for high-fidelity light curves and robust selection

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. We explored the potential of optical variability selection methods in order to identify a broad range of active galactic nuclei (AGN), including those challenging to detect with conventional techniques. Using the unprecedented combination of depth,

A New Approach to Constraining Properties of Active Galactic Nucleus Host Galaxies by Combining Image and Spectral Energy Distribution Decomposition: Testing upon the MBH–M⋆ Relation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The outshining light from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) poses significant challenges in studying the properties of AGN host galaxies. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach that combines image decomposition and spectral energy distribution ...

Ongoing Star Formation In AGN Host Galaxy Disks: A View From Core-collapse Supernovae

open access: yes, 2010
The normalized radial distribution of young stellar populations (and cold gas) in nearby galactic disks is compared between AGN host galaxies and starforming galaxies (both with Hubble types between S0/a and Scd) by using type II supernovae (SNe) as ...

Modeling Star Formation Histories of Changing-look AGN Host Galaxies with Prospector

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs), are AGNs that appear to transition between Seyfert Type 1 and 2 over periods of months to years. Several mechanisms to trigger these transitions have been proposed, but we have yet to conclusively determine
