Robust AGN and host-galaxy decomposition in optical spectral fitting
C. Aydar, A. Merloni, G. Zeltyn +24
Unraveling the growth of supermassive black holes and their connection to host galaxies requires disentangling the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) emission from that of the stellar po…

The eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS): SDSS spectroscopic observations of X-ray sources
Catarina Aydar, Andrea Merloni, Tom Dwelly +45
We present one of the largest uniform optical spectroscopic surveys of X-ray selected sources to date that were observed as a pilot study for the Black Hole Mapper (BHM) survey. Th…

Estimating Masses of Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei from the Halpha Emission Line
E. Dalla BontÃ, B. M. Peterson, C. J. Grier +19
The goal of this project is to construct an estimator for the masses of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) based on the broad Halpha emission line. We make u…
