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…
Spectral Energy Distributions of Type 1 AGN in the COSMOS Survey I - The XMM-COSMOS Sample
M. Elvis, H. Hao, F. Civano +39
The "Cosmic Evolution Survey" (COSMOS) enables the study of the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) because of the deep coverage and rich sampling…
Accreting SMBHs in the COSMOS field and the connection to their host galaxies
A. Bongiorno, A. Merloni, M. Brusa +22
Using the wide multi-band photometry available in the COSMOS field we explore the host galaxy properties of a large sample of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) obtained by combining X-r…
The Chandra COSMOS Survey: III. Optical and Infrared Identification of X-ray Point Sources
F. Civano, M. Elvis, M. Brusa +29
The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8 Ms, Chandra program that has imaged the central 0.9 deg^2 of the COSMOS field down to limiting depths of 1.9 10^-16 erg cm^-2 s…
IR-derived covering factors for a large sample of quasars from WISE-UKIDSS-SDSS
I. G. Roseboom, A. Lawrence, M. Elvis +3
We investigate the range of covering factors (determined from the ratio of IR to UV/optical luminosity) seen in luminous type 1 quasars using a combination of data from the WISE, U…
The impact of galaxy interactions on AGN activity in zCOSMOS
J. D. Silverman, P. Kampczyk, K. Jahnke +52
Close encounters between galaxies are expected to be a viable mechanism, as predicted by numerical simulations, by which accretion onto supermassive black holes can be initiated. T…
