The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
Isotropic Luminosity Indicators in a Complete AGN Sample
Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic, George H. Rieke, Jane R. Rigby
The [O IV] 25.89 micron line has been shown to be an accurate indicator of active galactic nucleus (AGN) intrinsic luminosity in that it correlates well with hard (10-200 keV) X-ra…
Why X-ray--Selected AGN Appear Optically Dull
J. R. Rigby, G. H. Rieke, J. L. Donley +2
We investigate why half of X-ray--selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) in deep surveys lack signs of accretion in their optical spectra. The majority of these ``optically--dull''…
Unveiling a Population of X-ray Non-Detected AGN
J. L. Donley, G. H. Rieke, J. R. Rigby +1
We define a sample of 27 radio-excess AGN in the Chandra Deep Field North by selecting galaxies that do not obey the radio/infrared correlation for radio-quiet AGN and star-forming…
Why Optically--Faint AGN Are Faint: The Spitzer Perspective
J. R. Rigby, G. H. Rieke, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez +5
Optically--faint X-ray sources (those with f_X/f_R > 10) constitute about 20% of X-ray sources in deep surveys, and are potentially highly obscured and/or at high redshift. Their f…
Missing Massive Stars in Starbursts: Stellar Temperature Diagnostics and the IMF
J. R. Rigby, G. H. Rieke
Determining the properties of starbursts requires spectral diagnostics of their ultraviolet radiation fields, to test whether very massive stars are present. We test several such d…
