PEARLS: Discovery of Point-source Features within Galaxies in the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field

The Astrophysical Journal
The first public 0.9–4.4 μ m NIRCam images of the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field uncovered galaxies displaying point-source features in their cores as seen in the longer-wavelength filters. We visually identified a sample of 66 galaxies (∼1 galaxy

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

, 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.

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

The 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.

JWST Insights into Narrow-line Little Red Dots

The Astrophysical Journal
JWST has revealed a population of red and compact objects with unique “V-shaped” spectral energy distributions (SEDs) known as “Little Red Dots” (LRDs). Many LRDs exhibit broad Balmer lines and thus likely host active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

SSDSS IV MaNGA - Properties of AGN host galaxies

, 2017
We present here the characterization of the main properties of a sample of 98 AGN host galaxies, both type-II and type-I, in comparison with those of about 2700 non-active galaxies observed by the MaNGA survey. We found that AGN hosts are morphologically early-type or early-spirals.

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

The 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 ...

The Eddington Ratio Distribution of Narrow-line Active Galactic Nuclei

The Astronomical Journal
We measure the Eddington ratio distribution of local optical narrow-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) as a function of host galaxy properties, as a potential test of galaxy formation theories of AGN feedback. We extract central emission-line fluxes using

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

The 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

Low-mass Active Galaxies in the SAMI Galaxy Survey with Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy

The Astrophysical Journal
The smallest supermassive black holes (BHs), which provide constraints on BH seeds, reside in low-mass galaxies. Here, we present a systematic analysis of 990 low-mass galaxies in the SAMI Galaxy Survey to identify emission from accreting BHs using ...
