The contribution of Fermi-2LAC blazars to the diffuse TeV-PeV neutrino flux

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, K. Abraham +319

The recent discovery of a diffuse cosmic neutrino flux extending up to PeV energies raises the question of which astrophysical sources generate this signal. One class of extragalac…

The Role of Host Galaxy for the Environmental Dependence of Active Nuclei in Local Galaxies

R. I. Davies, E. K. S. Hicks, P. Erwin +22

We discuss the environment of local hard X-ray selected active galaxies, with reference to two independent group catalogues. We find that the fraction of these AGN in S0 host galax…
