A Chandra Perspective On Galaxy-Wide X-ray Binary Emission And Its Correlation With Star Formation Rate And Stellar Mass: New Results From Luminous Infrared Galaxies

B. D. Lehmer, D. M. Alexander, F. E. Bauer +5

We present new Chandra observations that complete a sample of seventeen (17) luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) with D < 60 Mpc and low Galactic column densities of N_H < 5 X 10^20…

The Extended Chandra Deep Field-South Survey: Optical spectroscopy of faint X-ray sources with the VLT and Keck

J. D. Silverman, V. Mainieri, M. Salvato +26

We present the results of a program to acquire high-quality optical spectra of X-ray sources detected in the E-CDF-S and its central area. New spectroscopic redshifts are measured…

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

Y. Q. Xue, W. N. Brandt, B. Luo +6

[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 utiliz…

Spitzer Analysis of HII Region Complexes in the Magellanic Clouds: Determining a Suitable Monochromatic Obscured Star Formation Indicator

Brandon Lawton, Karl D. Gordon, Brian Babler +18

HII regions are the birth places of stars, and as such they provide the best measure of current star formation rates (SFRs) in galaxies. The close proximity of the Magellanic Cloud…

A change in the optical polarization associated with a gamma-ray flare in the blazar 3C 279

LAT Collaboration, members of the 3C 279 multi-band campaign

It is widely accepted that strong and variable radiation detected over all accessible energy bands in a number of active galaxies arises from a relativistic, Doppler-boosted jet po…

Unobscured Type 2 AGNs

Yong Shi, George H. Rieke, Paul Smith +5

Type 2 AGNs with intrinsically weak broad emission lines (BELs) would be exceptions to the unified model. After examining a number of proposed candidates critically, we find that t…

Blazar 3C 454.3 in Outburst and Quiescence During 2005-2007: Two Variable Synchrotron Emission Peaks

Patrick M. Ogle, Ann E. Wehrle, Thomas Balonek +1

We monitored the flaring blazar 3C 454.3 during 2005 June-July with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS: 15 epochs), Infrared Array Camera (IRAC: 12 epochs) and Multiband Imagin…

Dust-free quasars in the early Universe

Linhua Jiang, Xiaohui Fan, W. N. Brandt +9

The most distant quasars known, at redshifts z=6, generally have properties indistinguishable from those of lower-redshift quasars in the rest-frame ultraviolet/optical and X-ray b…

Identifications and Photometric Redshifts of the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South Sources

B. Luo, W. N. Brandt, Y. Q. Xue +11

[Abridged] We present reliable multiwavelength identifications and high-quality photometric redshifts for the 462 X-ray sources in the ~2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South. Source identi…
