Stellar populations from H-band VLT spectroscopy in a sample of seven active galaxies
Isabel Marquez, Catherine Boisson, Monique Joly +2
The relationship between an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and its host galaxy is still far from being understood. Properties of the host galaxies of Seyfert nuclei, such as luminos…
Exploring the inner parsecs of Active Galactic Nuclei using near-infrared high resolution polarimetric simulations with MontAGN
Lucas Grosset, Daniel Rouan, Damien Gratadour +4
Aims: In this paper, we aim to constrain the properties of dust structures in the central first parsecs of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Our goal is to study the required optical d…
Understanding active galactic nuclei using near-infrared high angular resolution polarimetry I : MontAGN - stokes comparison
Lucas Grosset, Frédéric Marin, Damien Gratadour +5
In this first research note of a series of two, we present a comparison between two Monte Carlo radiative transfer codes: MontAGN and STOKES. Both were developed in order to better…
Understanding Active Galactic Nuclei using near-infrared high angular resolution polarimetry II: Preliminary results
F. Marin, L. Grosset, R. Goosmann +5
In this second research note of a series of two, we present the first near-infrared results we obtained when modeling Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Our first proceedings showed the…
Fundamental limitations of high contrast imaging set by small sample statistics
Dimitri Mawet, Julien Milli, Zahed Wahhaj +9
In this paper, we review the impact of small sample statistics on detection thresholds and corresponding confidence levels (CLs) in high contrast imaging at small angles. When look…
Discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from PKS 0447-439 and derivation of an upper limit on its redshift
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, A. Abramowski +204
Very high-energy gamma-ray emission from PKS 0447-439 was detected with the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array in December 2009. This blazar is one of the brightest extragalactic o…
