Detecting Obscured AGN in the Distant Universe with Spitzer
J. L. Donley, G. H. Rieke, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez +2
We present the results of a Spitzer search for obscured AGN in the Chandra Deep Field-North, using both radio-excess and mid-infrared power-law selection. AGN selected via the form…
GALEX Detection of Lyman Break Galaxies at z=1 in the CDFS
D. Burgarella, P. Perez-Gonzalez, V. Buat +5
The first large sample of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z~1 is selected from GALEX Far-UV and Near-UV images of the Chandra Deep Field South. This multi-wavelength study is based…
Reduction Algorithms for the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer: 6 Months of Flight Data
K. D. Gordon, G. H. Rieke, C. W. Engelbracht +27
The first six months of flight data from the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) were used to test MIPS reduction algorithms based on extensive preflight laboratory dat…
Studying Distant Infrared-Luminous Galaxies with Spitzer and Hubble
Casey Papovich, Eiichi Egami, Emeric Le Floc'h +5
New surveys with the Spitzer space telescope identify distant star-forming and active galaxies by their strong emission at far-infrared wavelengths, which provides strong constrain…
24 micron Properties of X-ray Selected AGN
J. R. Rigby, G. H. Rieke, R. Maiolino +13
We examine the 24 micron to X-ray color of 157 X-ray--selected AGN as a function of X-ray obscuration and optical classification in the Chandra Deep Field South. The sample consist…
Star Formation Rate estimators: [OII]3727 vs. Halpha for local star-forming galaxies
A. Aragon-Salamanca, A. Alonso-Herrero, J. Gallego +4
The [OII]3727 emission line is frequently used as an indicator of the star formation rate (SFR) despite its complex dependence on metallicity and excitation conditions. We have ana…
