Towards a consistent framework of determining active galactic nucleus contribution fraction and host galaxy properties

Mi Chen, Lingyu Wang, Berta Margalef-Bentabol +3

Decomposing active galactic nucleus (AGN) emission from host-galaxy light is essential for identifying AGN-dominated systems and accurately deriving host-galaxy physical properties…

The major merger-active galactic nucleus connection up to the cosmic noon

A. La Marca, B. Margalef-Bentabol, L. Wang +3

Galaxy major mergers are a potential mechanism for triggering active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity, but their role remains debated, particularly beyond the local Universe. We aim…

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1): Euclid spectroscopy of quasars. 1. Identification and redshift determination of 3500 bright quasars

Euclid Collaboration, Y. Fu, R. Bouwens +354

The slitless spectroscopy mode of the NISP onboard Euclid has enabled efficient spectroscopy of objects within a large FoV. We present a large and homogeneous sample of bright quas…

Observationally derived change in the star formation rate as mergers progress

W. J. Pearson, L. Wang, V. Rodriguez-Gomez +2

Galaxy mergers can change the rate at which stars are formed. We can trace when these changes occur in simulations of galaxy mergers. However, for observed galaxies we do not know…

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). First Euclid statistical study of galaxy mergers and their connection to active galactic nuclei

Euclid Collaboration, A. La Marca, L. Wang +334

Galaxy major mergers are a key pathway to trigger AGN. We present the first detection of major mergers in the Euclid Deep Fields and analyse their connection with AGN. We construct…

A multi-band AGN-SFG classifier for extragalactic radio surveys using machine learning

J. Karsten, L. Wang, B. Margalef-Bentabol +7

Extragalactic radio continuum surveys play an increasingly more important role in galaxy evolution and cosmology studies. While radio galaxies and radio quasars dominate at the bri…
