Evidence for Merger-Driven Growth in Luminous, High-z, Obscured AGN in the CANDELS/COSMOS Field

J. L. Donley, J. Kartaltepe, D. Kocevski +27

While major mergers have long been proposed as a driver of both AGN activity and the M-sigma relation, studies of moderate to high redshift Seyfert-luminosity AGN hosts have found…

Sub-structure and merger detection in resolved NIKA Sunyaev-Zel'dovich images of distant clusters

R. Adam, O. Hahn, F. Ruppin +48

Sub-structures in the hot gas of galaxy clusters are related to their formation history and to the astrophysical processes at play in the intracluster medium (ICM). The thermal Sun…
