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…
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 "…
Half of the Most Luminous Quasars May Be Obscured: Investigating the Nature of WISE-Selected Hot, Dust-Obscured Galaxies
Roberto J. Assef, Peter R. M. Eisenhardt, Daniel Stern +9
The WISE mission has unveiled a rare population of high-redshift (), dusty, hyper-luminous galaxies, with infrared luminosities , and somet…
NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Observations of Luminous, Heavily Obscured, WISE-Selected Quasars at z ~ 2
D. Stern, G. B. Lansbury, R. J. Assef +30
We report on a NuSTAR and XMM-Newton program that has observed a sample of three extremely luminous, heavily obscured WISE-selected AGN at z~2 in a broad X-ray band (0.1 - 79 keV).…
