A Systematic Analysis of Stellar Populations in the Host Galaxies of SDSS Type I QSOs

Abstract

We investigate the relationship between host galaxies' stellar content and active galactic nuclei (AGN) for optically selected QSOs with z$<$0.5. There are total 82 QSOs we select from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) . These 82 QSOs both have Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data and measurable stellar content. With the help of the stellar population synthesis code STARLIGHT, we determine the luminosity fraction of AGN ,stellar population ages and star-formation history (SFH) of host galaxies. We find out there is a correlation between the star formation history and AGN property which suggests a possible delay from star formation to AGN. This probably indicates that the AGN activity correlate with the star formation activity which consistent with a co-evolution scheme for black hole and host galaxies.
