Observational evidence for cosmological coupling of black holes and its implications for an astrophysical source of dark energy
Duncan Farrah, Kevin S. Croker, Gregory Tarlé +16
Observations have found black holes spanning ten orders of magnitude in mass across most of cosmic history. The Kerr black hole solution is however provisional as its behavior at i…
WISE Discovery of Hyper Luminous Galaxies at z=2-4 and Their Implications for Galaxy and AGN Evolution
Chao-Wei Tsai, Peter Eisenhardt, Jingwen Wu +14
On behalf of the WISE Science team, we present the discovery of a class of distant dust-enshrouded galaxies with extremely high luminosity. These galaxies are selected to have extr…
WISE detections of known QSOs at redshifts greater than six
Andrew Blain, Robert Assef, Daniel Stern +9
We present WISE All-Sky mid-infrared (IR) survey detections of 55% (17/31) of the known QSOs at z>6 from a range of surveys: the SDSS, the CFHT-LS, FIRST, Spitzer and UKIDSS. The W…
Far-infrared Fine-Structure Line Diagnostics of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Duncan Farrah, Vianney Lebouteiller, Henrik Spoon +16
We present Herschel observations of six fine-structure lines in 25 Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at z<0.27. The lines, [O III]52, [N III]57, [O I]63, [N II]122, [O I]145, and [C…
UV-bright nearby early type galaxies observed in the mid-infrared: evidence for a multi-stage formation history by way of WISE and GALEX imaging
S. M. Petty, J. D. Neill, T. H. Jarrett +9
In the local Universe, 10% of massive elliptical galaxies are observed to exhibit a peculiar property: a substantial excess of ultraviolet emission (UVX) over what is expected from…
The Distribution of AGN Covering Factors
Andy Lawrence, Isaac Roseboom, Jack Mayo +4
We review our knowledge of the most basic properties of the AGN obscuring region - its location, scale, symmetry, and mean covering factor - and discuss new evidence on the distrib…
