The incidence of obscuration in active galactic nuclei

A. Merloni, A. Bongiorno, M. Brusa +22

We study the incidence of nuclear obscuration on a complete sample of 1310 AGN selected on the basis of their rest-frame 2-10 keV X-ray flux from the XMM-COSMOS survey, in the reds…

The SINS/zC-SINF survey of z~2 galaxy kinematics: Evidence for powerful AGN-driven nuclear outflows in massive star-forming galaxies

N. M. Förster Schreiber, R. Genzel, S. F. Newman +29

We report the detection of ubiquitous powerful nuclear outflows in massive (> 10^11 Msun) z~2 star-forming galaxies (SFGs), which are plausibly driven by an Active Galactic Nucleus…

The Mean Star-Forming Properties of QSO Host Galaxies

D. J. Rosario, B. Trakhtenbrot, D. Lutz +22

Quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) occur in galaxies in which supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are growing substantially through rapid accretion of gas. Many popular models of the co-evo…

The sub-mJy radio sky in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: source population

M. Bonzini, P. Padovani, V. Mainieri +5

The sub-mJy radio population is a mixture of active systems, that is star forming galaxies (SFGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We study a sample of 883 radio sources detected…

The dependence of Galactic outflows on the properties and orientation of zCOSMOS galaxies at z ~ 1

R. Bordoloi, S. J. Lilly, E. Hardmeier +44

We present an analysis of cool outflowing gas around galaxies, traced by MgII absorption lines in the co-added spectra of a sample of 486 zCOSMOS galaxies at 1 < z < 1.5. These gal…

zCOSMOS 20k: Satellite galaxies are the main drivers of environmental effects in the galaxy population at least to z~0.7

K. Kovac, S. J. Lilly, C. Knobel +41

We explore the role of environment in the evolution of galaxies over 0.1<z<0.7 using the final zCOSMOS-bright data set. Using the red fraction of galaxies as a proxy for the quench…

Obscured AGN at z~1 from the zCOSMOS-Bright Survey I. Selection and Optical Properties of a [Ne v]-selected sample

M. Mignoli, C. Vignali, R. Gilli +46

A sample of 94 narrow line AGN with 0.65<z<1.20 has been selected from the 20k-Bright zCOSMOS galaxy sample by detection of the high-ionization [NeV]3426 line. Taking advantage of…

Unveiling a population of galaxies harboring low-mass black holes with X-rays

M. Schramm, J. D. Silverman, J. E. Greene +7

We report the discovery of three low-mass black hole candidates residing in the centers of low-mass galaxies at z<0.3 in the Chandra Deep Field - South Survey. These black holes ar…

Spot the difference. Impact of different selection criteria on observed properties of passive galaxies in zCOSMOS 20-k sample

M. Moresco, L. Pozzetti, A. Cimatti +50

We present the analysis of photometric, spectroscopic, and morphological properties for differently selected samples of passive galaxies up to z=1 extracted from the zCOSMOS-20k sp…

Investigating the relationship between AGN activity and stellar mass in zCOSMOS galaxies at 0<z<1 using emission line diagnostic diagrams

M. Vitale, M. Mignoli, A. Cimatti +49

We investigate the link between AGN activity, star-formation and stellar mass of the host galaxy at 0<z<1, looking for spectroscopic traces of AGN and aging of the host. This work…

The Chandra-COSMOS survey IV: X-ray spectra of the bright sample

G. Lanzuisi, F. Civano, M. Elvis +14

We present the X-ray spectral analysis of the 390 brightest extragalactic sources in the Chandra-COSMOS catalog, showing at least 70 net counts in the 0.5-7 keV band. This sample h…

The Herschel PEP/HerMES Luminosity Function. I: Probing the Evolution of PACS selected Galaxies to z~4

C. Gruppioni, F. Pozzi, G. Rodighiero +100

We exploit the deep and extended far infrared data sets (at 70, 100 and 160 um) of the Herschel GTO PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) Survey, in combination with the HERschel Multi tie…

The VLA 1.4GHz Survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: Second Data Release

N. A. Miller, M. Bonzini, E. B. Fomalont +6

Deep radio observations at 1.4GHz for the Extended Chandra Deep Field South were performed in June through September of 2007 and presented in a first data release (Miller et al. 20…

A comparative analysis of virial black-hole mass estimates of moderate-luminosity active galactic nuclei using Subaru/FMOS

Kenta Matsuoka, John D. Silverman, Malte Schramm +27

We present an analysis of broad emission lines observed in moderate-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs), typical of those found in X-ray surveys of deep fields, with the aim t…
