Galaxy-wide outflows in z1.5 luminous obscured QSOs revealed through NIR slit-resolved spectroscopy
M. Perna, M. Brusa, G. Cresci +10
Aims. The co-evolution of galaxies and super massive black holes (SMBHs) requires that some sort of feedback mechanism is operating during the active galactic nuclei (AGN) phases.…
X-shooter reveals powerful outflows in z~1.5 X-ray selected obscured quasi stellar objects
M. Brusa, A. Bongiorno, G. Cresci +20
We present X-shooter at the Vewry Large Telescope observations of a sample of 10 luminous, X-ray obscured QSOs at z from the XMM-COSMOS survey, expected to be caught in th…
Compton Thick AGN in the XMM-COSMOS survey
G. Lanzuisi, P. Ranalli, I. Georgantopoulos +27
Heavily obscured, Compton Thick (CT, NH>10^24 cm^-2) AGN may represent an important phase in AGN/galaxy co-evolution and are expected to provide a significant contribution to the c…
The nature of massive black hole binary candidates: II. Spectral energy distribution atlas
Elisabeta Lusso, Roberto Decarli, Massimo Dotti +5
Recoiling supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are considered one plausible physical mechanism to explain high velocity shifts between narrow and broad emission lines sometimes observe…
Fitting Spectral Energy Distributions of AGN - A Markov Chain Monte Carlo Approach
Gabriela Calistro-Rivera, Elisabeta Lusso, Joseph F. Hennawi +1
We present AGNfitter: a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm developed to fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with different physical models…
