Discovery of a Low-Redshift Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxy
Guodong Li, Chao-Wei Tsai, Daniel Stern +10
We report the discovery of the hyperluminous, highly obscured AGN WISE J190445.04+485308.9 (W1904+4853 hereafter, ) at z=0.415. Its well-s…
A Catalog of 220 Offset and Dual AGNs: Increased AGN Activation in Major Mergers and Separations under 4 kpc
Aaron Stemo, Julia M. Comerford, R. Scott Barrows +4
During galaxy mergers, gas and dust is driven towards the centers of merging galaxies, triggering enhanced star formation and supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. Theory predicts…
The Ĝ Infrared Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations with Large Energy Supplies. III. The Reddest Extended Sources in WISE
Roger L. Griffith, Jason T. Wright, Jessica Maldonado +3
Nearby Type III (galaxy-spanning) Kardashev supercivilizations would have high mid-infrared (MIR) luminosities. We have used the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to surve…
Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopy of Brown Dwarfs Discovered with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer
Adam C. Schneider, Michael C. Cushing, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +7
We present a sample of brown dwarfs identified with the {\it Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} (WISE) for which we have obtained {\it Hubble Space Telescope} ({\it HST}) Wide Fi…
The Most Luminous Galaxies Discovered by WISE
Chao-Wei Tsai, Peter Eisenhardt, Jingwen Wu +25
We present 20 WISE-selected galaxies with bolometric luminosities L_bol > 10^14 L_sun, including five with infrared luminosities L_IR = L(rest 8-1000 micron) > 10^14 L_sun. These "…
The Ĝ Infrared Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations with Large Energy Supplies. II. Framework, Strategy, and First Result
J. T. Wright, R. Griffith, S. Sigurðsson +2
We describe the framework and strategy of the Ĝ infrared search for extraterrestrial civilizations with large energy supplies, which will use the wide-field infrared surveys of WIS…
