Uncovering the deeply embedded AGN activity in the nuclear regions of the interacting galaxy Arp299
A. Alonso-Herrero, P. F. Roche, P. Esquej +14
We present mid-infrared (MIR) 8-13micron spectroscopy of the nuclear regions of the interacting galaxy Arp299 (IC694+NGC3690) obtained with CanariCam (CC) on the 10.4m Gran Telesco…
Nuclear star formation activity and black hole accretion in nearby Seyfert galaxies
P. Esquej, A. Alonso-Herrero, O. González-Martín +10
Recent theoretical and observational works indicate the presence of a correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and the active galactic nuclei (AGN) luminosity (and, theref…
Probing nuclear activity versus star formation at z~0.8 using near-infrared multi-object spectroscopy
Cristina Ramos Almeida, J. M. Rodriguez Espinosa, J. A. Acosta-Pulido +3
We present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of 28 X-ray and mid-infrared selected sources at a median redshift of z~0.8 in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). To date thi…
Testing the AGN Unification Model in the Infrared
Cristina Ramos Almeida, N. A. Levenson, A. Alonso-Herrero +7
We present near-to-mid-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 21 Seyfert galaxies, using subarcsecond resolution imaging data. Our aim is to compare the properties Seyfe…
Resolving the nuclear dust distribution of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3081
C. Ramos Almeida, M. Sanchez-Portal, A. M. Perez-Garcia +13
We report far-infrared (FIR) imaging of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3081 in the range 70-500 micron, obtained with an unprecedented angular resolution, using the Herschel Space Observ…
Torus and AGN properties of nearby Seyfert galaxies: Results from fitting IR spectral energy distributions and spectroscopy
Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Cristina Ramos Almeida, Rachel Mason +9
We used the CLUMPY torus models and a Bayesian approach to fit the infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and ground-based high-angular resolution mid-infrared spectroscopy…
Testing the Unification Model for AGN in the Infrared: are the obscuring tori of Type 1 and 2 Seyferts different?
C. Ramos Almeida, N. A. Levenson, A. Alonso-Herrero +7
We present new mid-infrared (MIR) imaging data for three Type-1 Seyfert galaxies obtained with T-ReCS on the Gemini-South Telescope at subarcsecond resolution. Our aim is to enlarg…
