VLA Observations of Ultraluminous IRAS Galaxies: Active Nuclei or Starbursts? [PDF]
We employed the Very Large Array (VLA) of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in C configuration to map 39 ultraluminous IRAS galaxies at 6~cm and 20~cm, at resolutions of ~ 4" and 15", respectively, and 24 sources at 6~cm with in the A ...

The host galaxies and classification of active galactic nuclei [PDF]
We present an analysis of the host properties of 85224 emission-line galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We show that Seyferts and LINERs form clearly separated branches on the standard optical diagnostic diagrams.

Galaxy Evolution in the Radio Band: The Role of Star-forming Galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
We investigate the astrophysics of radio-emitting star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and elucidate their statistical properties in the radio band, including luminosity functions, redshift distributions, and number counts at sub-mJy ...

The star formation rates of active galactic nuclei host galaxies [PDF]
Using artificial neural network (ANN) predictions of total infra-red luminosities (LIR), we compare the host galaxy star formation rates (SFRs) of ~21,000 optically selected active galactic nuclei (AGN), 466 low excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) and 721 ...

THE MAIN SEQUENCES OF STAR-FORMING GALAXIES AND ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI AT HIGH REDSHIFT [PDF]
We provide a novel, unifying physical interpretation on the origin, average shape, scatter, and cosmic evolution for the main sequences of star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at high redshift .

Cosmic X-ray surveys of distant active galaxies [PDF]
We review results from cosmic X-ray surveys of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) over the past $$\approx 15$$≈15 years that have dramatically improved our understanding of growing supermassive black holes in the distant universe.

Lambda = 3 mm line survey of nearby active galaxies [PDF]
We used the IRAM 30m telescope to observe the frequency range [86-116]GHz towards the central regions of the starburst galaxies M83, M82, and NGC253, the AGNs M51, NGC1068, and NGC7469, and the ULIRGs Arp220 and Mrk231.

Galaxy Zoo: the effect of bar-driven fuelling on the presence of an active galactic nucleus in disc galaxies [PDF]
We study the influence of the presence of a strong bar in disc galaxies which host an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and morphological classificationsfromtheGalaxyZoo2project,wecreateavolume ...

Determining Central Black Hole Masses in Distant Active Galaxies and Quasars. II. Improved Optical and UV Scaling Relationships [PDF]
We present four improved empirical relationships useful for estimating the central black hole mass in nearby AGNs and distant luminous quasars alike using either optical or UV single-epoch spectroscopy.

A TWO-PARAMETER MODEL FOR THE INFRARED/SUBMILLIMETER/RADIO SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS OF GALAXIES AND ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI [PDF]
A two-parameter semi-empirical model is presented for the spectral energy distributions of galaxies with contributions to their infrared–submillimeter–radio emission from both star formation and accretion disk-powered activity.
