What Drives the Growth of Black Holes?

David M. Alexander, Ryan C. Hickox

Massive black holes (BHs) are at once exotic and yet ubiquitous, residing in the centers of massive galaxies in the local Universe. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in ou…

The LABOCA Survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South: Clustering of submillimetre galaxies

Ryan C. Hickox, J. L. Wardlow, Ian Smail +12

We present a measurement of the spatial clustering of submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) at z = 1-3. Using data from the 870 micron LESS survey, we employ a novel technique to measure t…

A Candidate Dual AGN at z=1.175

R. Scott Barrows, Daniel Stern, Kristin Madsen +10

The X-ray source CXOXBJ142607.6+353351 (CXOJ1426+35), which was identified in a 172 ks Chandra image in the Bootes field, shows double-peaked rest-frame optical/UV emission lines,…

X-ray Spectral Constraints for z~2 Massive Galaxies: The Identification of Reflection-Dominated Active Galactic Nuclei

D. M. Alexander, F. E. Bauer, W. N. Brandt +18

We use the 4Ms CDF-S survey to place direct X-ray constraints on the ubiquity of z~2 heavily obscured AGNs in K<22 BzK galaxies. Forty seven of the 222 BzK galaxies in the central…

Clustering of obscured and unobscured quasars in the Bootes field: Placing rapidly growing black holes in the cosmic web

Ryan C. Hickox, Adam D. Myers, Mark Brodwin +18

We present the first measurement of the spatial clustering of mid-infrared selected obscured and unobscured quasars, using a sample in the redshift range 0.7 < z < 1.8 selected fro…

Defining the intrinsic AGN infrared spectral energy distribution and measuring its contribution to the infrared output of composite galaxies

J. R. Mullaney, D. M. Alexander, A. D. Goulding +1

We use infrared spectroscopy and photometry to empirically define the intrinsic, thermal infrared spectral energy distribution (i.e., 6-100 um SED) of typical active galactic nucle…
