Heavy X-ray obscuration in the most-luminous galaxies discovered by WISE
F. Vito, W. N. Brandt, D. Stern +11
Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are hyperluminous () infrared galaxies with extremely high (up to hundreds of K) dust tempe…
Investigating the evolution of the dual AGN system ESO~509-IG066
P. Kosec, M. Brightman, D. Stern +13
We analyze the evolution of the dual AGN in ESO 509-IG066, a galaxy pair located at z=0.034 whose nuclei are separated by 11 kpc. Previous observations with XMM-Newton on this dual…
Active Galactic Nuclei: what's in a name?
P. Padovani, D. M. Alexander, R. J. Assef +8
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are energetic astrophysical sources powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes in galaxies, and present unique observational signatures that co…
The role of the most luminous, obscured AGN in galaxy assembly at z~2
Duncan Farrah, Sara Petty, Brian Connolly +14
We present HST WFC3 F160W imaging and infrared spectral energy distributions for twelve extremely luminous, obscured AGN at , selected via "Hot, Dust Obscured" mid-infra…
The WISE AGN Catalog
R. J. Assef, D. Stern, G. Noirot +3
We present two large catalogs of AGN candidates identified across ~75% of the sky from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer's AllWISE Data Release. Both catalogs, some of the la…
Overdensities of SMGs around WISE-selected, ultra-luminous, high-redshift AGN
Suzy F. Jones, Andrew W. Blain, Roberto J. Assef +9
We investigate extremely luminous dusty galaxies in the environments around WISE-selected hot dust obscured galaxies (Hot DOGs) and WISE/radio-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs…
Extending the Calibration of CIV-Based Single-Epoch Black Hole Mass Estimators for Active Galactic Nuclei
Daeseong Park, Aaron J. Barth, Jong-Hak Woo +5
We provide an updated calibration of CIV broad emission line-based single-epoch (SE) black hole (BH) mass estimators for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using new data…
Eddington-Limited Accretion in z~2 WISE-selected Hot, Dust-Obscured Galaxies
Jingwen Wu, Hyunsung D. Jun, Roberto J. Assef +12
Hot, Dust-Obscured Galaxies, or "Hot DOGs", are a rare, dusty, hyperluminous galaxy population discovered by the WISE mission. Predominantly at redshifts 2-3, they include the most…
The 2.4 m Galaxy Luminosity Function as Measured Using WISE. III. Measurement Results
S. E. Lake, E. L. Wright, R. J. Assef +5
The WISE satellite surveyed the entire sky multiple times in four infrared wavelengths (3.4, 4.6, 12, and m; Wright et al. 2010). The unprecedented combination of coverage a…
The 2.4 m Galaxy Luminosity Function as Measured Using WISE. II. Sample Selection
S. E. Lake, E. L. Wright, R. J. Assef +5
The WISE satellite surveyed the entire sky multiple times in four infrared (IR) wavelengths ( and m, Wright et al. 2010). This all-sky IR photometric surve…
The X-ray and Mid-Infrared luminosities in Luminous Type 1 Quasars
Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ryan C. Hickox, Andrew D. Goulding +16
Several recent studies have reported different intrinsic correlations between the AGN mid-IR luminosity () and the rest-frame 2-10 keV luminosity () for luminous qu…
