AGN in dusty hosts: implications for galaxy evolution [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013
We present strong empirical evidence for a physical connection between the occurrence of a starburst (SB) and a luminous AGN phase. Drawing infrared (IR), X-ray, and optically selected samples from COSMOS, we find that the locus of type-2 AGN hosts in the optical colour-magnitude (U-V/V) and colour-colour (U-V/V-J) space significantly overlaps with ...

Looking for Signatures of AGN Feedback in Radio-Quiet AGN

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
In this article, we discuss the state of “AGN feedback” in radio-quiet (RQ) AGN. This study involves heterogeneous samples of nearby Seyfert and LINER galaxies as well as quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) that have been observed at low radio frequencies (few ∼

The first 62 AGN observed with SDSS-IV MaNGA -- III: stellar and gas kinematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigate the effects of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) on the gas kinematics of their host galaxies, using MaNGA data for a sample of 62 AGN hosts and 109 control galaxies (inactive galaxies).

Mid-infrared Outbursts in Nearby Galaxies: Nuclear Obscuration and Connections to Hidden Tidal Disruption Events and Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We study the properties of galaxies hosting mid-infrared outbursts in the context of a catalog of 500,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that nuclear obscuration, as inferred by the surrounding dust mass, does not correlate with host

The triggering probability of radio-loud AGN: A comparison of high and low excitation radio galaxies in hosts of different colors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Low luminosity radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are generally found in massive red elliptical galaxies, where they are thought to be powered through gas accretion from their surrounding hot halos in a radiatively inefficient manner.

Host galaxies of AGN

open access: yes, 2001
The relationship of an AGN to its host galaxy is a crucial question in the study of galaxy evolution. We perform stellar population synthesis in the central regions of galaxies of different activity levels. A large number of stellar features are measured both in the optical and near-infrared.

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 ...

AGN and Host Galaxies in the COSMOS Survey [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010
AbstractThe Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS) is a unique tool for studying low level AGN activity and the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes. COSMOS involves the largest contiguous region of the sky ever imaged by HST; it includes very complete multiwavelength coverage, and the largest joint samples of galaxy and AGN redshifts ...

Low-luminosity AGN and Normal Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Low-luminosity AGN (with X-ray luminosity < 1e42 ergs/s) far outnumber ordinary AGN, and are therefore perhaps more relevant to our understanding of AGN phenomena and the relationship between AGN and host galaxies.
