Mergers may not be the main channel for galaxy stellar mass growth at redshift : Predictions from cosmological hierarchical models and simulations

Hao Fu, Mohammadreza Ayromlou, Francesco Shankar +13

Mergers are a crucial channel of galaxy growth, but their role relative to star formation remains uncertain at high redshift. Here we investigate merger rates and merger-driven ste…

Extinction and AGN over host galaxy contrast effects on the optical spectroscopic classification of AGN

L. Barquín-González, S. Mateos, F. J. Carrera +9

The optical spectroscopic classification of active galactic nuclei (AGN) into type 1 and type 2 can be understood in the frame of the AGN unification models. However, it remains un…

Probing star formation rates and histories in AGN and non-AGN galaxies across diverse cosmic environments and extensive X-ray luminosity ranges

G. Mountrichas, M. Siudek, O. Cucciati

In this work, we compare the SFRs and SFHs of AGN and non-AGN galaxies. We explore these aspects across different density fields and over three orders of magnitude in L. For th…

A Cigale module tailored (not only) for Low-Luminosity AGN

I. E. López, G. Yang, G. Mountrichas +17

The spectral energy distribution (SED) of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN) presents challenges due to their faint emissions and the complexity of their accretion proce…

Comparative analysis of the SFR of AGN and non-AGN galaxies, as a function of stellar mass, AGN power, cosmic time and obscuration

G. Mountrichas, V. A. Masoura, A. Corral +1

This study involves a comparative analysis of the SFRs of AGN and non-AGN galaxies and of the SFRs of type 1 and 2 AGN. To carry out this investigation, we assembled a dataset cons…

The link between star-formation and supermassive black hole properties

George Mountrichas, Veronique Buat

It is well known that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies co-evolve. AGN feedback plays an important role on this symbiosis. To study the effect of the AGN fee…

The relation of cosmic environment and morphology with the star formation and stellar populations of AGN and non-AGN galaxies

G. Mountrichas, G. Yang, V. Buat +5

In this work, we study the relation of cosmic environment and morphology with the star-formation (SF) and the stellar population of galaxies. Most importantly, we examine if this r…

The coevolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies in luminous AGN over a wide range of redshift

George Mountrichas

It is well known that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies co-evolve. A manifestation of this co-evolution is the correlation that has been found between the SM…
