HST WFC3/IR Observations of Active Galactic Nucleus Host Galaxies at z~2: Supermassive Black Holes Grow in Disk Galaxies

Kevin Schawinski, Ezequiel Treister, C. Megan Urry +3

We present the rest-frame optical morphologies of active galactic nucleus (AGN) host galaxies at 1.5<z<3, using near-infrared imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Cam…

Panchromatic Estimation of Star Formation Rates in BzK Galaxies at 1<z<3

Peter Kurczynski, Eric Gawiser, Minh Huynh +9

We determine star formation rates (SFRs) in a sample of color-selected, star-forming (sBzK) galaxies (K(AB)<21.8) in the Extended Chandra Deep Field - South. To identify and avoid…

Dust-Corrected Colors Reveal Bimodality in AGN Host Galaxy Colors at z~1

Carolin N. Cardamone, C. Megan Urry, Kevin Schawinski +3

Using new, highly accurate photometric redshifts from the MUSYC medium-band survey in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S), we fit synthetic stellar population models to…

Black hole growth and host galaxy morphology

Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +11

We use data from large surveys of the local Universe (SDSS+Galaxy Zoo) to show that the galaxy-black hole connection is linked to host morphology at a fundamental level. The fracti…

Galaxy Zoo: The fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies

Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +18

We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby Universe (z < 0.05) and…
