A Novel Method to Identify AGNs Based on Emission Line Excess and the Nature of Low-luminosity AGNs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: II - Nature of Low-luminosity AGNs

open access: yes, 2012
We develop a novel method to identify active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and study the nature of low-luminosity AGNs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This is the second part of a series of papers and we study the correlations between the AGN activities and ...

Structures of Dusty and AGN Host Galaxies

open access: yes, 2019
I will present a study of connection between star formation, active galactic nucleus (AGN), and galaxy morphology. By fitting optical to far-IR photometry with state-of-the-art spectral energy distribution (SED) techniques, we derive stellar masses, star formation rates, dust properties, and AGN contribution in galaxies over the whole COSMOS field.

The Host Galaxies Of Agn With Powerful Relativistic Jets

open access: yes, 2016
We present deep Near-infrared (NIR) images of a sample of 19 intermediate-redshift (0.3<z<1.0) radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) with powerful relativistic jets (L1.4GHz >10^27 WHz^-1), previously classified as flat-spectrum radio quasars. We also compile host galaxy and nuclear magnitudes for blazars from literature.

Recent Results from the SAFIR Project

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014
The "Seyfert and star formation Activity in the Far-Infrared" (SAFIR) project is aimed at studying the physical nature of the nuclear IR emission and star formation properties of a small sample of nearby Seyfert galaxies observed with the PACS and SPIRE ...

The Masses of AGN Host Galaxies and the Origin of Radio Loudness

open access: yes, 2006
We highlight some of the principal results from our recent Hubble Space Telescope studies of quasars and radio galaxies. The hosts of these powerful AGN are normal massive ellipticals which lie on the region of the fundamental plane populated predominantly by massive ellipticals with boxy isophotes and distinct cores.

ALMA/SCUBA-2 COSMOS Survey: Properties of X-Ray- and SED-selected Active Galactic Nuclei in Bright Submillimeter Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the brightest submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS field. We utilize the bright sample of the ALMA/SCUBA-2 COSMOS Survey (AS2COSMOS), which consists of 260 SMGs with S _870 _μ _m  =

Investigating the Star Formation Characteristics of Radio Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies represents a fundamental question in astrophysics. One approach to investigating this question involves comparing the star formation rates (SFRs) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with ...

Massive galaxies with very young AGN

open access: yes, 2007
Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio galaxies are generally thought to be the young counterparts of classical extended radio sources and live in massive ellipticals.

The Intrinsic Sizes of Odd Radio Circles

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A new class of sources, the so-called odd radio circles (ORCs), have been discovered by recent sensitive, large-area radio continuum surveys. The distances of these sources have so far relied on photometric redshifts of optical galaxies found at the ...
