The NuSTAR Extragalactic Surveys: The Number Counts of Active Galactic Nuclei and the Resolved Fraction of the Cosmic X-ray Background
F. A. Harrison, J. Aird, F. Civano +41
We present the 3-8 keV and 8-24 keV number counts of active galactic nuclei (AGN) identified in the NuSTAR extragalactic surveys. NuSTAR has now resolved 33-39% of the X-ray backgr…
NuSTAR Observations of the Compton-thick Active Galactic Nucleus and Ultraluminous X-ray Source Candidate in NGC 5643
A. Annuar, P. Gandhi, D. M. Alexander +22
We present two NuSTAR observations of the local Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) and an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) candidate in NGC 5643. Together with archival data f…
ALMA and Herschel reveal that X-ray selected AGN and main-sequence galaxies have different star formation rate distributions
J. R. Mullaney, D. M. Alexander, J. Aird +15
Using deep Herschel and ALMA observations, we investigate the star formation rate (SFR) distributions of X-ray selected AGN host galaxies at 0.5<z<1.5 and 1.5<z<4, comparing them t…
NuSTAR Reveals Extreme Absorption in z < 0.5 Type 2 Quasars
G. B. Lansbury, P. Gandhi, D. M. Alexander +27
The intrinsic column density (NH) distribution of quasars is poorly known. At the high obscuration end of the quasar population and for redshifts z<1, the X-ray spectra can only be…
Mid-infrared luminous quasars in the GOODS-Herschel fields: a large population of heavily-obscured, Compton-thick quasars at z~2
A. Del Moro, D. M. Alexander, F. E. Bauer +10
We present the infrared (IR) and X-ray properties of a sample of 33 mid-IR luminous quasars (L(6 micron)>6x10 erg/s) at redshift z~1-3, identified through detailed spectr…
A remarkably flat relationship between the average star formation rate and AGN luminosity for distant X-ray AGN
F. Stanley, C. M. Harrison, D. M. Alexander +5
In this study we investigate the relationship between the star formation rate, SFR, and AGN luminosity, L(AGN), for ~2000 X-ray detected AGN. The AGN span over three orders of magn…
A Connection between Obscuration and Star Formation in Luminous Quasars
Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ryan C. Hickox, Stacey Alberts +15
We present a measurement of the star formation properties of a uniform sample of mid-IR selected, unobscured and obscured quasars (QSO1s and QSO2s) in the Boötes survey region. We…
Exploring the Active Galactic Nuclei population with extreme X-ray to optical flux ratios (Fx/Fo >50)
R. Della Ceca, F. J. Carrera, A. Caccianiga +8
The cosmic history of the growth of supermassive black holes in galactic centers parallels that of star-formation in the Universe. However, an important fraction of this growth occ…
