Galaxy interactions are the dominant trigger for local type 2 quasars

J. C. S. Pierce, C. Tadhunter, C. Ramos Almeida +8

The triggering mechanism for the most luminous, quasar-like active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains a source of debate, with some studies favouring triggering via galaxy mergers, but…

Do AGN triggering mechanisms vary with radio power? II. The importance of mergers as a function of radio power and optical luminosity

J. C. S. Pierce, C. N. Tadhunter, Y. Gordon +7

Investigation of the triggering mechanisms of radio AGN is important for improving our general understanding of galaxy evolution. In the first paper in this series, detailed morpho…

The post-Herschel view of intrinsic AGN emission: constructing templates for galaxy and AGN emission at IR wavelengths

E. Bernhard, C. Tadhunter, J. R. Mullaney +3

Measuring the star-forming properties of AGN hosts is key to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. However, this topic remains debated, partly due to the difficultie…

The evolving AGN duty cycle in galaxies since z3 as encoded in the X-ray luminosity function

I. Delvecchio, E. Daddi, J. Aird +10

We present a new modeling of the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) out to z3, dissecting the contribution of main-sequence (MS) and starburst (S…

A binning-free method reveals a continuous relationship between galaxies' AGN power and offset from main sequence

L. P. Grimmett, J. R. Mullaney, E. P. Bernhard +5

Studies investigating the relationship between AGN power and the star formation rates (SFRs) of their host galaxies often rely on averaging techniques -- such as stacking -- to inc…

The galaxy's gas content regulated by the dark matter halo mass results in a super-linear M-M relation

I. Delvecchio, E. Daddi, F. Shankar +8

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are tightly correlated with their hosts but the origin of such connection remains elusive. To explore the cosmic build-up of this scaling relation,…
