The Sudden Death of the Nearest Quasar
Kevin Schawinski, Daniel A. Evans, Shanil Virani +13
Galaxy formation is significantly modulated by energy output from supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies which grow in highly efficient luminous quasar phases. The tim…
Black hole growth and host galaxy morphology
Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +11
We use data from large surveys of the local Universe (SDSS+Galaxy Zoo) to show that the galaxy-black hole connection is linked to host morphology at a fundamental level. The fracti…
Galaxy Zoo: The fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies
Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +18
We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby Universe (z < 0.05) and…
The Hard X-Ray View of Reflection, Absorption, and the Disk-Jet Connection in the Radio-Loud AGN 3C 33
D. A. Evans, J. N. Reeves, M. J. Hardcastle +3
We present results from Suzaku and Swift observations of the nearby radio galaxy 3C 33, and investigate the nature of absorption, reflection, and jet production in this source. We…
The Space Density of Compton-thick AGN
E. Treister, C. M. Urry, C. Cardamone +3
We constrain the number density and evolution of Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), and their contribution to the extragalactic X-ray background. In the local Universe we…
Heavily Obscured AGN in Star-Forming Galaxies at z~2
E. Treister, C. Cardamone, K. Schawinski +10
We study the properties of a sample of 211 heavily-obscured Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) candidates in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South selecting objects with f_24/f_R>1000 a…
