Precision Time-series Photometry in the Thermal Infrared with a 'Wall-Eyed' Pointing Mode at the Large Binocular Telescope

Eckhart Spalding, Phil Hinz, Andrew Skemer +3

Time-series photometry taken from ground-based facilities is improved with the use of comparison stars due to the short timescales of atmospheric-induced variability. However, the…

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…
