A population of luminous accreting black holes with hidden mergers
Michael J. Koss, Laura Blecha, Phillip Bernhard +11
Major galaxy mergers are thought to play an important part in fuelling the growth of supermassive black holes. However, observational support for this hypothesis is mixed, with som…
Investigating the Covering Fraction Distribution of Swift/BAT AGN with X-ray and IR Observations
Lauranne Lanz, Ryan C. Hickox, Mislav Baloković +12
We present an analysis of a sample of 69 local obscured Swift/Burst Alert Telescope active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with X-ray spectra from NuSTAR and infrared (IR) spectral energy d…
PSFGAN: a generative adversarial network system for separating quasar point sources and host galaxy light
Dominic Stark, Barthelemy Launet, Kevin Schawinski +7
The study of unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) and quasars depends on the reliable decomposition of the light from the AGN point source and the extended host galaxy light. Th…
A model for AGN variability on multiple timescales
Lia F. Sartori, Kevin Schawinski, Benny Trakhtenbrot +5
We present a framework to link and describe AGN variability on a wide range of timescales, from days to billions of years. In particular, we concentrate on the AGN variability feat…
Optical, near-IR and sub-mm IFU Observations of the nearby dual AGN Mrk 463
E. Treister, G. C. Privon, L. F. Sartori +14
We present optical and near-IR Integral Field Unit (IFU) and ALMA band 6 observations of the nearby dual Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) Mrk 463. At a distance of 210 Mpc, and a nucle…
