The most-luminous heavily-obscured quasars have a high merger fraction: morphological study of WISE-selected hot dust-obscured galaxies

Lulu Fan, Yunkun Han, Guanwen Fang +6

Previous studies have shown that WISE-selected hyperluminous, hot dust-obscured galaxies (Hot DOGs) are powered by highly dust-obscured, possibly Compton-thick AGNs. High obscurati…

Infrared spectral energy distribution decomposition of WISE-selected, hyperluminous hot dust-obscured galaxies

Lulu Fan, Yunkun Han, Robert Nikutta +2

We utilize a Bayesian approach to fit the observed mid-IR-to-submm/mm spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 22 WISE-selected and submm-detected, hyperluminous hot dust-obscured g…

Spectroscopic Indication for a Centi-parsec Supermassive Black Hole Binary in the Galactic Center of NGC 5548

Yan-Rong Li, Jian-Min Wang, Luis C. Ho +8

As a natural consequence of cosmological hierarchical structure formation, sub-parsec supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) should be common in galaxies but thus far have elude…

Interstellar chemical differentiation across grain sizes

J. X. Ge, J. H. He, Aigen Li

In this work we investigate the effects of ion accretion and size-dependent dust temperatures on the abundances of both gas-phase and grain-surface species. While past work has ass…
