Enhanced Seeing Mode at the LBT: A Method to Significantly Improve Angular Resolution over a 4' x 4' Field of View
Barry Rothberg, Julian C. Christou, Douglas L. Miller +3
Since 2014, the LBT's First Light Adaptive Optics (FLAO) system has also included a seldom used capability, known as Enhanced Seeing Mode (ESM), that can improve the angular resolu…
A Triple AGN in a Mid-Infrared Selected Late Stage Galaxy Merger
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Shobita Satyapal, Christina Manzano-King +11
The co-evolution of galaxies and the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centers via hierarchical galaxy mergers is a key prediction of CDM cosmology. As gas and dust are…
Buried Black Hole Growth in IR-selected Mergers: New Results from Chandra
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Shobita Satyapal, Nathan J. Secrest +8
Observations and theoretical simulations suggest that a significant fraction of merger-triggered accretion onto supermassive black holes is highly obscured, particularly in late-st…
