Obscured active galactic nuclei

RC Hickox, DM Alexander - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powered by the accretion of material onto a supermassive
black hole (SMBH) and are among the most luminous objects in the Universe. However, the …

Clustering of quasars in SDSS-IV eBOSS: study of potential systematics and bias determination

P Laurent, S Eftekharzadeh, JM Le Goff… - … of Cosmology and …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the first year of the eBOSS quasar sample in the redshift range 0.9< z< 2.2 which
includes 68,772 homogeneously selected quasars. We show that the main source of …

The cosmic web of X-ray active galactic nuclei seen through the eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS)

J Comparat, W Luo, A Merloni, S More… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Which galaxies in the general population turn into active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a

Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): exploring the WISE web in G12

TH Jarrett, ME Cluver, C Magoulas… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an analysis of the mid-infrared Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)

Evident black hole-bulge coevolution in the distant universe

G Yang, WN Brandt, DM Alexander… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Observations in the local universe show a tight correlation between the masses of
supermassive black holes (SMBHs; M BH) and host-galaxy bulges (M bulge), suggesting a …

The Swift/BAT AGN spectroscopic survey. IX. The clustering environments of an unbiased sample of local AGNs

MC Powell, N Cappelluti, CM Urry, M Koss… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We characterize the environments of local accreting supermassive black holes by
measuring the clustering of AGNs in the Swift/BAT Spectroscopic Survey (BASS). With 548 …

Relation between AGN type and host galaxy properties

VA Masoura, G Mountrichas, I Georgantopoulos… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
We use 3213 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the XMM-XXL northern field to investigate
the relation of AGN type with host galaxy properties. Applying a Bayesian method, we derive …

AGN Selection Methods Have Profound Impacts on the Distributions of Host-galaxy Properties

Z Ji, M Giavalisco, A Kirkpatrick… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comparative study of X-ray and IR active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z≈ 2 to
highlight the important AGN selection effects on the distributions of host-galaxy properties …

The role of AGN and obscuration in the position of the host galaxy relative to the main sequence

G Mountrichas, V Buat, G Yang, M Boquien… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
We use X-ray active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory
within the 9.3 deg 2 Boötes field of the NDWFS to study whether there is a correlation …

Host Dark Matter Halos of Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer-selected Obscured and Unobscured Quasars: Evidence for Evolution

GC Petter, RC Hickox, DM Alexander… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Obscuration in quasars may arise from steep viewing angles along the dusty torus, or
instead may represent a distinct phase of supermassive black hole growth. We test these …
