AGN-Host Connection at 0.5 < z < 2.5: A rapid evolution of AGN fraction in red galaxies during the last 10 Gyr

Tao Wang, D. Elbaz, D. M. Alexander +13

We explore the dependence of the incidence of moderate-luminosity ( erg s) AGNs and the distribution of their accretion rates on host color at 0.5 <…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project VI: reverberating Disk Models for NGC 5548

D. Starkey, Keith Horne, M. M. Fausnaugh +90

We conduct a multiwavelength continuum variability study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 to investigate the temperature structure of its accretion disk. The 19 overlapping continu…

Galaxy environment in the 3D-HST fields. Witnessing the onset of satellite quenching at z ~ 1-2

M. Fossati, D. J. Wilman, J. T. Mendel +25

We make publicly available a catalog of calibrated environmental measures for galaxies in the five 3D-HST/CANDELS deep fields. Leveraging the spectroscopic and grism redshifts from…

Host galaxies of luminous z0.6 quasars: Major mergers are not prevalent at the highest AGN luminosities

C. Villforth, T. Hamilton, M. M. Pawlik +10

Galaxy interactions are thought to be one of the main triggers of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), especially at high luminosities, where the accreted gas mass during the AGN lifetime…

The Nature of Massive Transition Galaxies in CANDELS, GAMA, and Cosmological Simulations

Viraj Pandya, Ryan Brennan, Rachel S. Somerville +25

We explore observational and theoretical constraints on how galaxies might transition between the "star-forming main sequence" (SFMS) and varying "degrees of quiescence" out to $z=…

Reverberation Mapping of Optical Emission Lines in Five Active Galaxies

M. M. Fausnaugh, C. J. Grier, M. C. Bentz +68

We present the first results from an optical reverberation mapping campaign executed in 2014, targeting the active galactic nuclei (AGN) MCG+08-11-011, NGC 2617, NGC 4051, 3C 382,…

The Relationship Between Star-formation Activity and Galaxy Structural Properties in CANDELS and a Semi-analytic Model

Ryan Brennan, Viraj Pandya, Rachel S. Somerville +13

We study the correlation of galaxy structural properties with their location relative to the SFR-M* correlation, also known as the star formation "main sequence" (SFMS), in the CAN…
