Environment and Gas Fraction in Type 2 AGN versus Non-AGN Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate the environmental parameters and gas fraction ( f _gas ) properties of type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGN) and non-AGN galaxies, utilizing a large sample of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 with z ≤ 0.3.

The 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

Active Galactic Nuclei in the Green Valley at z ∼ 0.7
The Astrophysical JournalWe present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy using the MMT and Magellan infrared spectrograph for a sample of 29 massive galaxies ( $\mathrm{log}\ {M}_{* }/{M}_{\odot }\gtrsim 10$ ) at z ∼ 0.7 with optical spectroscopy from the Large Early Galaxy ...

The Accuracy of Morphological Decomposition of Active Galactic Nucleus Host Galaxies
, 2008 In order to assess the accuracy with which we can determine the morphologies of AGN host galaxies, we have simulated more than 50,000 ACS images of galaxies with z < 1.25, using image and noise properties appropriate for the GOODS survey.

The black holes of radio galaxies during the "Quasar Era": Masses, accretion rates, and evolutionary stage [PDF]
, 2010 We present an analysis of the AGN broad-line regions of 6 powerful radio galaxies at z>~2 (HzRGs) with rest-frame optical imaging spectroscopy obtained at the VLT. All galaxies have luminous (L(H-alpha)=few x 10^44 erg s^-1), spatially unresolved H-alpha

The Astrophysical JournalIn this manuscript, clues are provided to support globally negative active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback on star formation in the host galaxies of the local low-redshift Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Type 2 AGN, based on the different dependence of ...

Morphologies of Radio, X-Ray, and Mid-Infrared Selected AGN
, 2010 We investigate the optical morphologies of candidate active galaxies identified at radio, X-ray, and mid-infrared wavelengths. We use the Advanced Camera for Surveys General Catalog (ACS-GC) to identify 372, 1360, and 1238 AGN host galaxies from the VLA,

Black hole variability and the star formation-active galactic nucleus connection : do all star-forming galaxies host an active galactic nucleus? [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate the effect of active galactic nucleus (AGN) variability on the observed connection between star formation and black hole accretion in extragalactic surveys.

Galaxies Lighting Up: Discovery of Seventy New Turn-on Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei
The Astrophysical Journal“Changing-look active galactic nuclei” (CL AGN) show dramatic, rapid changes in optical/UV continuum and broad-line emission. The majority of CL AGN have been found dimming as “turn-off” CL AGN because most selection methods start from samples of ...
