Empirical diagnostics of the starburst-AGN connection

R. Cid Fernandes, T. Heckman, H. Schmitt +2

We examine a representative sample of 35 Seyfert 2 nuclei. Previous work has shown that nearly 1/2 of these nuclei show the direct (but difficult-to-detect) spectroscopic signature…

A probabilistic formulation for Empirical Population Synthesis: Sampling methods and tests

Roberto Cid Fernandes, Laerte Sodre, Henrique Schmitt +2

We present a probabilistic formulation of the classical problem of synthesizing spectral properties of a galaxy using a base of star clusters. The problem consists of estimating th…

The Nature of the UV-Optical Continuum in Seyfert 2 Galaxies

Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann, H. R. Schmitt, R. Cid Fernandes

The nature of the UV-Optical continuum in Seyfert 2 galaxies is a matter of current debate, fundamental to which is the issue of characterizing and quantifying the stellar populati…

The Nature of the Optical Light in Seyfert 2 Galaxies with Polarized Continuum

Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann, Roberto Cid Fernandes, Henrique R. Schmitt

We investigate the nature of the optical continuum and stellar population in the central kpc of the Seyfert 2s Mrk 348, Mrk 573, NGC 1358 and Mrk 1210 using long-slit spectra obtai…

The Stellar Content of Active Galaxies

Roberto Cid Fernandes, Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann, Henrique R. Schmitt

We present results of a long-slit spectroscopic study of 39 active and 3 normal galaxies. Stellar absorption features, continuum colors and their radial variations are analyzed in…
