The Merger-Triggered Active Galactic Nuclei Contribution to the Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy Population
Aden R. Draper, David R. Ballantyne
It has long been thought that there is a connection between ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), quasars, and major mergers. Indeed, simulations show that major mergers are ca…
A Tale of Two Populations: The Contribution of Merger and Secular Processes to the Evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei
Aden R. Draper, David R. Ballantyne
Due to the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, understanding the mechanisms that trigger active galactic nuclei (AGN) are imperative to understanding…
Are Active Galactic Nuclei the Solution to the Excess Cosmic Radio Background at 1.4 GHz?
Aden R. Draper, Sam Northcott, David R. Ballantyne
Recently the ARCADE 2 experiment measured the cosmic radio background (CRB) and found the brightness temperature of the CRB at 1.4 GHz to be ~480 mK. Integrating the flux density f…
The Young, the Old, and the Dusty: Stellar Populations of AGN Hosts
Aden R. Draper, David R. Ballantyne
Studying the average properties of active galactic nuclei (AGN) host stellar populations is an important step in understanding the role of AGN in galaxy evolution and the processes…
Lifting the Veil on Obscured Accretion: Active Galactic Nuclei Number Counts and Survey Strategies for Imaging Hard X-ray Missions
D. R. Ballantyne, A. R. Draper, K. K. Madsen +2
Finding and characterizing the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that produces the X-ray background (XRB) is necessary to connect the history of accretion to observations…
Properties and Expected Number Counts of Active Galactic Nuclei and their Hosts in the Far Infrared
Aden R. Draper, David R. Ballantyne
Telescopes like Herschel and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) are creating new opportunities to study sources in the far infrared (FIR), a wavelength region…
