A Practical Guide to the Massive Black Hole Cosmic History

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
I review our current understanding of massive black hole (MBH) formation and evolution along the cosmic history. After a brief introductory overview of the relevance of MBHs in the hierarchical structure formation paradigm, I discuss the main viable channels for seed BH formation at high redshift and for their subsequent mass growth and spin evolution.

The location and kinematics of the emission line regions in Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis contains the results from a study of the optical emission lines of various samples of active galactic nuclei (AGN). We have used three separate techniques to determine the precise kinematics and the relative location of the emission line ...

Compact radio cores in Seyfert galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1994
We have observed a sample of 157 Seyfert galaxies with a 275 km baseline radio interferometer to search for compact, high brightness temperature radio emission from the active nucleus. We obtain the surprising result that compact radio cores are much more common in Seyfert 2 than in Seyfert 1 galaxies, which at first seems to be inconsistent with ...

A Comparison of Star Formation Rates by Different Tracers in Nearby Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We utilize a large sample of ∼113,000 galaxies ( z < 0.3) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with high-quality data to compare star formation rates (SFRs) across multiple diagnostic methods and examine their connection to the strength of active galactic ...

Continuous Filament Network of the Local Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Simulated galaxy distributions are suitable for developing filament detection algorithms. However, samples of observed galaxies, being of limited size, cause difficulties that lead to a discontinuous distribution of filaments.

Modelling the Multifrequency SED of AGN Candidates among the Unidentied EGRET and Fermi Gamma-Ray Sources

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014
Of the 271 sources in the 3rd EGRET catalogue, 131 were reported as unidentied, i.e. not associated with any particular class of point source in the sky.

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

Markarian and Seyfert Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
Since this symposium is devoted to the 90th anniversary of Prof. Ambartsumian's birthday I would like to touch briefly upon some historical aspects of V. Ambartsumian's ideas on activity of nuclei of galaxies.
