Different Dependence of Narrow Hα Line Luminosity on Optical Continuum Luminosity between Star-forming Galaxies and Type 2 Active Galactic Nuclei: Globally Negative AGN Feedback in Local Type 2 AGN?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In 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 ...

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.

Chemical Evolution of the Universe and its Consequences for Gravitational‐Wave Astrophysics

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
Population properties of double compact object mergers (especially binary black holes) are sensitive to the metallicity dependent cosmic star formation history. The uncertainty of this quantity cannot be ignored and makes the interpretation of current gravitational wave observations difficult.

Halfway to the Peak: Spatially Resolved Star Formation and Kinematics in a z = 0.54 Dusty Galaxy with JWST/MIRI

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present JWST Mid-InfraRed Instrument/Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MIRI/MRS) observations of an infrared luminous disk galaxy, FLS1, at z ∼ 0.54. With a lookback time of 5 Gyr, FLS1 is chronologically at the midpoint between the peak epoch of star ...

Color-Magnitude Relations of Active and Non-Active Galaxies in the Chandra Deep Fields: High-Redshift Constraints and Stellar-Mass Selection Effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
[Abridged] We extend color-magnitude relations for moderate-luminosity X-ray AGN hosts and non-AGN galaxies through the galaxy formation epoch in the Chandra Deep Fields. We utilized analyses of color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) to assess the role of moderate-luminosity AGNs in galaxy evolution.

Examining supernova events in Type 1 active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A statistical study of intermediate Palomar Transient Factory supernovae (SNe) in Type 1 AGN has shown a major deficit of supernovae around Type 1 AGN host galaxies, with respect to Type 2 AGN hosts. The aim of this work is to test whether there is any preference for Type 1 AGN to host SN of a specific kind.

Star-formation in the host galaxies of radio-AGN [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of Nuclei of Seyfert galaxies and QSOs - Central engine & conditions of star formation — PoS(Seyfert 2012), 2013
There exist strong evidence supporting the co-evolution of central supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. It is however still unclear what the exact role of nuclear activity, in the form of accretion onto these supermassive black holes, in this co-evolution is.

PRIMUS: The relationship between Star formation and AGN accretion

open access: yes, 2015
We study the evidence for a connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) fueling and star formation by investigating the relationship between the X-ray luminosities of AGN and the star formation rates (SFRs) of their host galaxies.

The Incidence of Active Galactic Nuclei in Pure Disk Galaxies: The Spitzer View [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We have conducted a high-resolution spectroscopic study using Spitzer of 18 bulgeless (Sd/Sdm) galaxies that show no definitive signatures of nuclear activity in their optical spectra. This is the first systematic mid-IR search for weak or hidden AGNs in

Galaxies Lighting Up: Discovery of Seventy New Turn-on Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe 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 ...
