Probing black hole accretion tracks, scaling relations and radiative efficiencies from stacked X-ray active galactic nuclei
Francesco Shankar, David H. Weinberg, Christopher Marsden +25
The masses of supermassive black holes at the centres of local galaxies appear to be tightly correlated with the mass and velocity dispersions of their galactic hosts. However, the…
Searching for fast extragalactic X-ray transients in Chandra surveys
Guang Yang, W. N. Brandt, S. F. Zhu +4
Recent works have discovered two fast ( ks) extragalactic X-ray transients in the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S XT1 and XT2). These findings suggest that a large popu…
The Host-Galaxy Properties of Type 1 Versus Type 2 Active Galactic Nuclei
Fan Zou, Guang Yang, William N. Brandt +1
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) proposes that different AGN optical spectral types are caused by different viewing angles with respect to an obscuring 'torus'. T…
Piercing Through Highly Obscured and Compton-thick AGNs in the Chandra Deep Fields: I. X-ray Spectral and Long-term Variability Analyses
Junyao Li, Yongquan Xue, Mouyuan Sun +13
We present a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of 1152 AGNs selected in the Chandra Deep Fields (CDFs), in order to identify highly obscured AGNs (…
Galaxies of the Universe. I. Grism-Selected Rest-Frame Optical Emission Line Galaxies
William P. Bowman, Gregory R. Zeimann, Robin Ciardullo +6
Euclid, WFIRST, and HETDEX will make emission-line selected galaxies the largest observed constituent in the universe. However, we only have a limited understanding of the…
