Hot-Dust-Poor Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei in the COSMOS Survey
Heng Hao, Martin Elvis, Francesca Civano +13
We report a sizable class of type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with unusually weak near-infrared (1-3μm) emission in the XMM-COSMOS type 1 AGN sample. The fraction of these "hot…
Demography of obscured and unobscured AGN: prospects for a Wide Field X-ray Telescope
R. Gilli, P. Tozzi, P. Rosati +7
We discuss some of the main open issues in the evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei which can be solved by the sensitive, wide area surveys to be performed by the proposed Wide Fiel…
One-zone models for spheroidal galaxies with a central supermassive black-hole. Self-regulated Bondi accretion
E. Lusso, L. Ciotti
By means of a one-zone evolutionary model, we study the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, as a function of the accretion radiative efficiency, dark…
The bulk of the black hole growth since z~1 occurs in a secular universe: No major merger-AGN connection
Mauricio Cisternas, Knud Jahnke, Katherine J. Inskip +21
What is the relevance of major mergers and interactions as triggering mechanisms for active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity? To answer this longstanding question, we analyze 140 XMM…
The XMM-Newton Wide-Field Survey in the COSMOS field (XMM-COSMOS): demography and multiwavelength properties of obscured and unobscured luminous AGN
M. Brusa, F. Civano, A. Comastri +64
We report the final optical identifications of the medium-depth (~60 ksec), contiguous (2 deg^2) XMM-Newton survey of the COSMOS field. XMM-Newton has detected ~800 X-ray sources d…
A Runaway Black Hole in COSMOS: Gravitational Wave or Slingshot Recoil?
F. Civano, M. Elvis, G. Lanzuisi +39
We present a detailed study of a peculiar source in the COSMOS survey at z=0.359. Source CXOCJ100043.1+020637 (CID-42) presents two compact optical sources embedded in the same gal…
