The Adaptive Optics Summer School Laboratory Activities
S. Mark Ammons, Scott Severson, J. D. Armstrong +17
Adaptive Optics (AO) is a new and rapidly expanding field of instrumentation, yet astronomers, vision scientists, and general AO practitioners are largely unfamiliar with the root…
Mass of the Southern Black Hole in NGC 6240 from Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Anne M. Medling, S. Mark Ammons, Claire E. Max +3
NGC 6240 is a pair of colliding disk galaxies, each with a black hole in its core. We have used laser guide star adaptive optics on the Keck II telescope to obtain high-resolution…
AGN Unification at z ~ 1: u - R Colors and Gradients in X-ray AGN Hosts
S. Mark Ammons, David J. V. Rosario, David C. Koo +8
We present uncontaminated rest-frame u - R colors of 78 X-ray-selected AGN hosts at 0.5 < z < 1.5 in the Chandra Deep Fields measured with HST/ACS/NICMOS and VLT/ISAAC imaging. We…
Adaptive Optics Imaging of QSOs with Double-Peaked Narrow Lines: Are they Dual AGNs?
D. J. Rosario, R. C. McGurk, C. E. Max +3
Active galaxies hosting two accreting and merging super-massive black holes (SMBHs) -- dual Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) -- are predicted by many current and popular models of blac…
